Recommendations for a good email provider

#1 Post by number77 »

Hello
This is probably in the wrong section so please move if needed.
Has anyone any recommendation for a decent free email supplier, preferably simple if possible.
I am running tahr 605, frugal on a dell vostro 1320, 2gb ram, 2.2ghz with pale moon 27.3. I could do with two, one for general email and one for banking but one is a good start.
What do other people do.
Thanks

Your ISP does not provide this?

How are you connecting to the Internet?
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

I started using the services of gmx.com after the whole Yahoo debacle.

They're alright.

I'll also recommend gmx.com.

Been using them for nearly 2 years now.....alongside a very well-established GMail account! (Which I've had, I think, somewhere in the region of nearly 13 years....)

Another worth considering is mail.com. They have a certain number of free domains that you can customise with your own titles, credentials, etc. I did have an account with them for around six months a few years ago when I was working on a certain project (lapsed due to inactivity). But it worked fine while it was up-and-running.

I used Mail.com for awhile but they are plagued with SPAM from the Baltic region. Finally I just went my way and let my inbox fill up, Gmail works well for me

Hello number77.

If you are looking for a webmail site, may I suggest a couple that I've
been using:

nili.ca
---- (basic service free; no spam, because under Canadian Law; interface
takes some getting used to, but works well once you know where to click)

crawler.com
---- (+/- CDN $10 - $11 / year depending on the exchange rate, but worth
it, IMO; very good and efficient interface; can alert you of / import
messages from outside mail accounts; has organizer, minimal file depot,
photo sharing; also RSS news feeds and search engine if you like)

mail2world.com
---- (free; you can customize the "world" part of the address above;
also offers you your own blog, if you can figure out how it works!)

IHTH.

I use Zoho
https://www.zoho.com/
Aimed at businesses but they do a free service for personal use - no ads, and I've never had any spam.
Got quite a few other features available, but I never use them.

Thanks Keef
Zoho seems straightforward, I have signed up.

Hi All,

Although the OP's request has been solved, I thought the concern it raised was something which is likely to arise from time to time. So, I've opened a thread on the Browsers and Internet SubForum for future queries and responses: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 912#956912

I've been using them for a couple of years and no spam of any kind so I suspect its more related to where you have been going with your email address .

I use Fastmail (not free), real good service and lots of domains to choose from.
