I wrote my own webmail script to access the account that came with my webhosting account.

Could you add another option to your poll? None of the current options make me feel special enough.

I don't have a primary email.
I use gmail for family/friends
Hotmail for buying stuff online
Yahoo for signing up for stuff that might get me spam
ISP for ebay
.gov for work

So that's how old people use email. Truly magnificent.

Same as it was when I created it in the 90's... Angelfire... 2MBs of webmail goodness. When I run out of space, I switch to my Juno backup.

GMail... but I'm thinking of switching. I just get too much SPAM in my account, and tons of e-mail that was meant to go to other people.

Google. Cuz their spam filter works better than anyone else, and they were the first to offer more than 2 meg inboxes. Also free POP3 or whatever. Going Android made it even better.
Yahoo's recent changes make it very easy to use, like Outlook. But I dont feel the need to switch back to them, especially since they generate the most spam and have assloads of ads on the page.

School also happens to be gmail which is nice cuz of the calendar and stuff.

i write out messages in vi, then i print them out and put them in envelopes. i hand them to the nice man on the horse and he rides to the destination and hands the person my message. the only problem i see with this method is that if the power goes out i'm screwed.

Primary would be my parents isp, Charter. Have 2 from them, gmail, and a private work email. Doesn't really matter though cause they're all linked to my phone. Then yahoo and hotmail for crap.

ISP for primary, mostly for work and jobs, friends and family.

Gmail for online accounts and yahoo for all the shady shit.

Hotmail. Too lazy to switch, and Gmail's web interface stinks.
Mainly too lazy though.

gmail

Had a hotmail account for years and years but it eventually got so over run with spam that it became useless.
