Railfan Technology > New e-mail delivery

I have had it with AT&T/YAHOO.

What are pro/cons of others.

I had both of them, dumped them and then went to Gmail and never looked back.
Nothing is perfect.  I don't like the way Gmail is set up so I use Outlook and use POP3 to get my email.  There are other choices that you can use other than POP3.
Works just fine and I have Outlook installed on mutiple computers.
Good luck on making a decision.

I use Outlook 2010 and the Firefox browser. Both seems to work in my favor.

As a rule I do not trust Google - they collect too much information on users.

I use MSN with Outlook on this machine - no issues at all.
 

I only use Google for my search engine as the others such as ask  and bing do not bring results I like. Outlook express works great for me but am not a puter nerd so need all the simplicity I can muster. Don't even ask me about texting...........................

I have used AT&T for 5 years and YAHOO for over 10 years with no problems with either.
A smart phone and all Mac computers have been the best choice.....Swede....Albany,Or.

FWIW -- ALL e-mail services read ALL your mail, and
sell every bit of inifo they can get o the highest bifdder.
FaceBook does this, too.  This is called "data-mining",
as is horrible. 

(I use Yahoo for all my e-mail, and it usually works OK,
but I don't like it when -- all too often it refuses to
show my Inbox items, and then gives me another Errior
[whateer] message.  Yahoo was winderful back in 1999 --
but then they changed it, and it has never been all that
good since then.  When Yahoo Mail misbehaves, I like
to say, "Oh geez -- the thing is backfiring, and the wheels
are falling off again, and it is leaving parts all over the road
again!" when Yahoo Mail misbehaves.)

Good luck in finding a really good e-mail provider.
Please let us know what you learned.

Another alternative is to set up Windows XP by itself in a virtual machine on your WIN 7 - 10 computer and then run Outlook Express with SMPT / POP3 hooked up to your favorite ISP.

I became very frustrated trying to import my old Outlook Express files into the newer "improved" mail servers, such as Outlook, etc., and finally figured out that I could still run OE "virtually."

OE was the very best mail program I ever used and it allows you to archive files in a useful manner within the program itself without slowing down the mail server operation.

I have have 8 gigs of emails going back to approximately1998 that I can access instantly, sorted by date sent, date received, sender, addressee or subject matter.

Sorry, not true at all. You pay for what you get. Use a free email service, expect to pay in some way.

Install both Adblock Plus
And Ghostery on all of your programs
which utilize the internet.
Both free applications
