web based email

What does everybody use? I am soon kissing yahoo goodbye because it's so plastered with ads that keep changing every couple of seconds, it's unusable. This seems to be a very recent event. Help me out, please

Google/gmail is my overlord. It's so intricately linked with everything at this point I couldn't dream of using anything else.

I second Gmail. I have it for work and home and it plays nice with my Apple products.

I have a lot of email addresses for different purposes. I access them all with Mozilla Thunderbird and try and avoid going on the actual sites unless I have to.

I use Gmail primarily for my personal e-mail and Hotmail primarily for online orders, reservations, etc. Between the two, Gmail is much more user-friendly and it integrates more easily with Android phones, IMO.

Gmail for friends, yahoo for stuff I sign up for.

Not that it matters which way you do it. anything after a + also provides you a unique address to toss Wright another 35 votes too.

I have a number of Email accounts. I started my hotmail one in the late 90s when I 1st got online (Zevon was taken, so began the Z-von nick) and its been my primary ever since. Using other accounts for specific things became a pain in the ass after a time, so I went back to doing all my E correspondence thru hotmail and I've never had a problem. That account has served me well for almost 15 years now.

I am planning to look into gmail and hotmail just as soon as I get the time. Yahoo was just fine for many years, but the past couple of months has been just awful.

Gmail, with Yahoo as my "give to people I don't want to know my real address" account.
