I used comcast as my email for a long time, but when I moved and switched TV/inet to at&t, they cancelled my email address. bastards. So dont wanna make that mistake again.

Technically gmail I guess but with my own domain and about 15 linked addresses.

this.

i used to self host, but my host doesn't allow imap and since i've started accessing my email from multiple computers, gmail imap through thunderbird dominates.

Half Hotmail, half Gmail. The Hotmail account is the oldest and highest used, but most new stuff is going to Gmail.

ISP is the WORST choice.
I use gmail but it's always good to have a backup.

Gmail. I used to use hotmail for things that might result in spam, but gmail's spam filter is good enough that I don't bother. Android synchronization is nice too.

I made a Hotmail account back in 95 or so, but I started using gmail and the account got deleted :(

Hotmail for my main as I had that account for the longest and only use it for important stuff.

Have a Gmail for a few other important things ( glad I got it long before the cell number requirement ) and yahoo for spam accounts.

Yahoo for spam, Hotmail school/social accounts/shopping, Gmail for personal/work related.

Of the 3 Yahoo is by far my least favorite. I prefer Hotmail but Gmail is not far behind and growing one me(I just haven't used it enough)

Hotmail or gmail. It depends on which phone I'm using at a given time.

I have a personal domain hosted with Google Apps.

Does this go under "self host", "third party host", "gmail", or "other" ?
