Need a Better Email Service Provider...

[scottmandue]

Had Yahoo (joined because wife was using it) and hated it... moved to Hotmail (part of the evil Microsoft empire) not great but not bad for free email.

[stomachmonkey]

The biggest issue with hotmail accounts was their rampant use by spammers / scammers and other scum.

So much so that @hotmail addresses are routinely flagged as spam just because.

I did a search and this seems to be the best thread to resurrect.
RIP Laneco - Angela, the OP

What are the latest recommendations for an email hosting service?
I want to migrate from our current ISP - as we might drop their service in the future when we retire/move/etc.

She was an Angel.

I use Zoho now as my private email. Very happy but I am not an apex email person beyond Outlook and I am as tech savvy as a sabot.

It is free, btw.

Damn, the other day I was instructed by the Pelican overlords to reduce the content of my PM box, and I came across a few messages from Angela; now this.

RIP Angela. You were the best of us and this BB hasn't been the same since you've been gone.

And I don't know about hosting email sites.

Just checking in to document the coincidence.

I actually was her Secret Santa one year. I sent her a jar of Nutella, a Porsche hot wheel - few other things. She messaged me the Nutella was a big hit - that she loved chocolate.

^^^^ Yep. I think she was lost to Covid .... and such a loss .

I've been using Gmail since it was by invitation only in test mode.... warts and all. At least the spam/bs filter is great .... but I'll never forgive that cute "hippie chick" who sent me the invite

Been hosting my own on Linode for 20 years....

She was truly one of a kind. No advice on email.

Mark - just wanted to say thanks for not starting a new thread on a subject for which we already had content on.

Bringing forward these older threads bring value for anyone looking for (more) input previously furnished over the years.

I have Mozilla (Firefox) and have their Thunderbird as my email client. Seems to work pretty good.

I was as well. I sent her a Porsche die-cast, a couple of Porsche books, and a valve adjustment tool. I also complimented her restoration of her dad's Monte Carlo Aerocoupe.
She sent me a nice Thank you note.

Has her account been hijacked? The URL listed in her profile is sketch AF.

Methinks Angela's husband (Steve) is still occasionally using her logon ID based upon a couple of threads I just looked at...

And if he happens to read this post .... I hope he is doing well.....

Yes, Angela and her hubby Steve shared the account.

Angela was fantastic. I'd say Steve had a real angel on his hands so all that really changed was where she's hanging out. My continuing condolences to Steve and Angela's friends and family

Hmm, it is sketchy. I think you may be onto something.

[MBAtarga]

That URL goes to telegram - a messaging app. Looks like recent posts Steve has a 911T up for sale - so I think it's legit.
