Depends how long you’ve been interneting, I suppose??
I signed up to Yahoo in 2000 when they were one of the ‘go to’ free e-mail options.
I set mine up when I graduated from uni & have kept it ever since. It’s THE address that tons of people have & know to use.
Yeah, it gets a lot of spam, but most of it gets filtered out.
Can’t see me ever getting rid of it, although Yahoo is a bit crap
This, my personal e-mail is Rocketmail of all things, had it forever – late 90’s perhaps, it was merged into Yahoo years ago, it’s the account I use for all my online shopping, Paypal, social media, Youtube and my personal Microsoft Live stuff.
I’ve had 2 ‘hacking’ issues since 2013, nothing that didn’t need a few swear words and some new passwords to fix, but at least now I have a good idea why.
