Why ISP mail? in http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r18275489 en Tue, 09 Feb 2010 23:09:21 EDT Tue, 09 Feb 2010 23:09:21 EDT Re: Why ISP mail? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18277538 birdfeedr :
Why do people still insist on using ISP mail, when there are so many superior options available? And what about if you ever decide to switch providers again, or move to an area where Verizon isn't available?

I was reviewing Verizon's spam filter. Up until March '07, I didn't get junk mail there. I have never received spam on my own domain email, which suffices for my "permanent" address.

Gmail catches 99.99% of my spam, and I've heard that Hotmail and Yahoo! are getting better all the time.
And I've heard that Gmail caches 100% of your email up to some multi-gigabyte limit. Google is now far too big for me to give it carte blanche on things like that.

Everyone has preferences, just not all the same. But, thanks for the input.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18277538 Thu, 03 May 2007 20:30:28 EDT Why ISP mail? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18275489 PolarBear : Who oh why do people still insist on using ISP mail, when there are so many superior options available?
