Best free email?

What is the best free email?

When I registrated at this forum it wouldn`t accept gmail.

I googled.. found zoho.. tried and it was accepted.

 

I`ve used gmail for so long and have mostly been happy with it (once a account of mine got hacked and I never got it back), but I`ve read that that can happen with other email provoders also.

Hi and welcome to ExTS

 

When I registrated at this forum it wouldn`t accept gmail.

We are aware of this and can only apologise.

A short while ago we were plagued by literally hundreds of spammers per day.

Actually they were spam-bots.

They were using gmail ( amongst others ) as an email address and we had no option but to ban it in an attempt to stop the spam.

 

This went on for about 2 - 3 weeks and we had to ban each spammer individually which took hours each day.

 

gmail addresses are still banned.

 

If you want me to try to change your email address to your gmail one I can probably do this.

You may need to login with it after the change.

Send me a PM with the gmail address and I will see what I can do :)

Ok. Thanks for telling. I`ll contact you if needed.

 

To others reading this.. I`m still interested in your thoughts on what`s the best free email is.

Gmail. Been using it since it got released. No problems with it, apart from that time when I got a message from Gmail stating that my account was accessed from China. Well, quick PW change solved that issue.
