What email provider do you use?

[Sharon]

I was just curious to see what email provider(s) do you guys use? I'm going to post a poll so we can have a good idea at a glance the most popular ones. 🙂

As for me, I use Yahoo! as my main personal email simply because I've had that particular email address so long. Secondarily I use Gmail, just to keep things simple as far as logging into certain sites that require a Gmail account (e.g. YouTube, Google+, etc), for my joint email that I share with my husband we use Outlook. Oh and I also have an iCloud email just for my Apple devices.

For me gmail is best.

I use Gmail and Mail.com for all my forum stuff. I generally use my ISP email (which is Outlook powered) for personal stuff, and my work email (which is Gmail powered) for work stuff.

Use yahoo for personal use as I set that up many moons ago and it has just stuck. Use Hotmail for survey and website purposes then Gmail for mobile based technologies.

Hotmail was the last e-mail account I created but I used it longest until today, even after it upgraded to Outlook and I created an Outlook aliases. When I was too annoyed with Yahoo, I found Hotmail/Outlook to be satisfactory alternative and I don't see myself changing it soon. I also love Gmail but it's more a secondary e-mail for me. The settings are slightly more confusing than Outlook but I'm probably biased. For school and work we use Dropbox more than Google Drive so that's another reason why my Gmail is not very active.

I use Gmail and Mail.com

 

[Krebsey]

Gmail is the best to use, i find it very fast and reliable and very clean design

 

[Teg]

I use Gmail for almost everything. Simple to use and I love the UI. I even set up gmail with my website emails because I love gmail.

I utilise both iCloud and ProtonMail with the latter being used mostly for personal emails involving friends, school, work, etc.

I did have a Gmail account at some point, but it was primarily for the sake of keeping tabs on some of my favourite videos. I've since transferred all of them to Instapaper; an app which I make great use of daily. I also tried Outlook in the past but every time I open it up it leaves me with a nasty impression; it's slow and clunky on all of my devices. Maybe I should try the Outlook app... people tell me it's amazing.

I recently picked a side for my Gmail and I loved the new colors. :lol:

Although I'm using Outlook, I don't have an app on my phone for it. I find it useless when integrated Mail works just fine for Outlook. So far there is no serious crashes, though (unlike Gmail which can go with errors for days, so I installed Gmail app and everything works fine now).

I also use the default Mail app at the moment. Very shortly after Dropbox announced their plans to halt Mailbox's development last year, the default email app found its way back in my dock. I gave it another shot (it had its own fair share of issues that made me look elsewhere in the first place) and fortunately it worked surprisingly well for me this time around with no complaints whatsoever—Handoff support is especially nice.

However, the latest versions of Outlook (works for most email provider like Gmail and iCloud) and Spark have created a huge buzz among my group of friends so it piqued my interest a bit. I'll consider giving those two a shot should Mail start giving me problems again.

Fun fact: Microsoft didn't exactly craft their Outlook app in-house. They acquired a startup behind an email app called Acompli and rebranded it as Outlook merely two months later. Regardless, I've heard they've poured in impressive work into the app since the rebranding.

Glad to hear that. I never really have issues with default Mail related to Outlook, but Gmail was different. Said it often had problems so I switched to its own app. I've heard about Spark and it does seem interesting. I was tempted to try but then again nothing was seriously wrong with what I have at the moment so I'll stick with it too.

That's an interesting fact. I personally like the Outlook system since it becomes Outlook (never really used it as Hotmail) for the simple layout and use.

I mostly use gmail although I have a hotmail account as well, but it is barely used. I created my hotmail account prior to gmail becoming so popular, hence why I even have one.

 

[Allenafaith]

I use Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, and Mail.com

I use outlook for Family and Friends and other stuff, Gmail is for work and signing up on websites

 

[Kino]

Yahoo, Gmail, and Outlook at work.

I hate Yahoo, but I've had it since 2005. Gmail is by far my favorite.

I use Gmail for all of my email needs. It's just so much easier, from YouTube to Google Drive to even Google Pay. There is so much more than just Gmail when it comes to them as just an email provider.

 

[MasterA]

I used to use Hotmail but I keep getting junk emails so I decided to switch to Gmail and after the switch, I hardly ever get these junk emails that are sent by random people which may contain viruses.

 

[FoxKF]

I just use Outlook
