I got a couple of notifications when I logged in today :rolleyes:
Looks like it's time to go elsewhere with my email :nod: - But where? :confused013

I have used yahoo for years. However, I use a third party app to access emails, so never see any of the yahoo 'junk'.

Can't help with free email ideas. I have been with BigPond/Telstra since the internet climbed out of the primeval slime and sat down to watch television.

I suppose that free emails are free for a reason. Everything needs to be "monetised" these days.

I guess I was :eek:-ed at this sort of stuff, though I suppose they already do it:

I predominantly use email addys on my own web site (unlimited number). This allows me to track who is leaking data to other parties.

Our personal email addys are hosted by Telstra. We pay for extra antivirus/firewalling on these, or used to. It's hard to know exactly what one is paying for these days!

It's come down to a stupid routine of having to SCROLL DOWN and ACCEPT their stupid
T&Cs each time I log in to Yahoo Mail.

Has ANYONE found a way out?
