Dottleshead ★ Posted June 25, 2022 Share #3 Posted June 25, 2022 I have a gmail account. Like saying an iPhone is greater than an Android (it isn't), it has it's pluses and minuses. It's technology. Win some. Lose some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikeguy Posted June 25, 2022 Share #4 Posted June 25, 2022 No, I'm not sick of Gmail. My Gmail account is used as a 'recovery' account. If I lock myself out of various places (which doesn't happen too often) I needed a separate account to use allow me to get back in. It was easy to set up on my Galaxy S7. I don't use it for everyday email, etc.. WoBG and I use Outlook for email. We use MS Outlook on our computers for our email. I seldom use my phone for email. I HATE typing on a phone.

bikeman564™ Posted June 25, 2022 Share #5 Posted June 25, 2022 I never used Gmail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted June 25, 2022 Share #6 Posted June 25, 2022 Before gmail I had a bunch of other emails from different providers, and most of them are now out of business. So gmail is fine for me as long as it stays in business and I don't have to change my contact info on a variety of sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickinMD ★ Posted June 25, 2022 Share #7 Posted June 25, 2022 When I was coaching high school sports and the chess team, every time I switched Internet Service Providers I had to contact other coaches from Virginia to New Jersey to give them my new email address. So I finally decided on Microsoft's free hotmail.com: I'd never have to change it. I still use it and handle it through the Mozilla Thunderbird App on my laptop. I rare do email on my phone.

groupw Posted June 25, 2022 Share #8 Posted June 25, 2022 I switched to Gmail when we moved. I had the old email with Charter for over 20 years. But they were not available in Maricopa. I like that it is portable and they have a pretty decent spam filter. I only get junk from places I have given my email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that it is portable Yeah... when we moved 3 years ago our old email was from Frontier our DSL / landline phone company and that was a problem. Frontier was not the phone utility for area of our new home. AT&T didn't have any internet service for the new home site. At least the cable company has service here. I moved to Outllook.com (using MS Office / Outlook ) so if we move again I didn't have to change my email address in the MANY places online where it is needed. That took a while to update. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the Gmail account I use for this site was created just after they made it available beyond invite. I still keep that one primarily for my photography interests. I made a new one to be my main account just before the move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrAzY Posted June 25, 2022 Share #13 Posted June 25, 2022 I like gmail unless I get a notification that one of y’all is bitching about something and it makes me hand out warnings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
