a list of the shortest email addresses - Page 2

i remembered that i also had a email account myname@9.cn
it was powered by outlook domains mail.
I think this is probably the shortest email domain on the world.
but the service seems gone.

There is g.pl, equally short

There's also mail.ru, which has bk.ru as an option: https://mail.ru/

And Posta has @y.ro as an option: http://www.posta.ro/

"y.ro" looks promising -- it's still allowing free signups, pending "administrator approval within two days."

(EDIT) Well, that was fast. Approval arrived within 10 minutes. Web interface requires CAPTCHA every time you send an email. Outgoing test messages went out fine, but test message TO username@y.ro bounced back with "Relay access denied (in reply to RCPT TO command)" error message. Will test again in a couple of days and report.

(EDIT #2) OK, I'm officially giving up on this one. It's been several days and I can still only send mail from y.ro; it won't receive mail from any of my other test email addresses. I can find no contact information on the posta.ro website for contacting an administrator, and the FAQ page is blank. Too bad.

There's a ha.to, which I ran across in these forums awhile back. I don't think they're going to be around long though, since I noticed earlier today that the site is up for sale.

I wonder why the .to and .tv extentions are so rarely used for email purposes. I cannot think of any provider using .to or .tv for email ; which is odd given the fact that these ccTLD's are popular for regular websites as a URL.

I don't know about ".to" TLDs, but ".tv" domains were outrageously priced at one time -- maybe they still are.

Tsunami · 1 Apr 2016, 12:41 AM

.to was more expensive than .tv to my knowledge. I believe a .tv domain used to be around 30 € per year, but maybe prices varied recently, it's been a while since I checked the websites of numerous registrars (which is needed as one registrar may have a lot better prices than the other for certain ccTLD's)

.tv websites are omnipresent though, so it is odd that there's no email services providing mail accounts using the suffix.

Same story for .to, which is an excellent ccTLD for domain hacks (and there was a time in which those were very frequent, remember the URL redirections such as surf.to, go.to, ... ; however in recent years I've seen less and less of such web addresses being used)
