So many people use the same email providers it's almost impossible to get a good one nowadays.

That got me thinking about the original email providers way back in the year 2000.

Where I come from it was Hotmail and Yahoo.

Was it the same in your country back in the year 2000? What providers did they have back then?

Most internet providers have their own email servers that you can use by having an account with them.

Always been that way.

.co.uk

Still is.

Expect Google with is .com everywhere I believe. For email addresses anyway.


@thedogandthecello

I still have my rocketmail adress (though it has been taken over by yahoo before 2000).
I do have for my business a German Email provider (Webblue).
And I do have a google adress which I only use for Google things.

Ya I know, it's just with everyone using Gmail and outlook it's hard to get a nice one without adding numbers to it.

Then don't use those.

My point is you have other options.
