Hi,

since my current email service is closing gates (dev decided focussing on other projects) and I don't really want to use my "personal" mail server, I'd like to ask you... what email service do you use for baiting.
I considered web.de/GMX, but actually, they deserve to be baited themselves (German "Verbraucherschutz" says some serious stuff about them). GMail is also not an option - "GMail joker", that's not how I want my cover to be blown blown.
What do you think of openmailbox.org - and generally, what do you take into consideration when choosing an email service?

Thanks in advance!

Regards

^^^The majority of my email accounts are Gmail and I've never been referred to as a "Gmail Joker" or had a scammer drop me for using it - if scammers suspected every Gmail user of being a joker then they'd be massively reducing their number of real potential victims.

Once upon a time, when Gmail was still quite new, some lads were wary of Gmail accounts and the term 'Gmail joker' did come up. But that phase has long since passed. Today lots of lads use Gmail themselves.

I have dozens of Gmail baiting accounts and I have never once had a lad question it.

I have two at Gmail, several at Safe-mail, one at Fastmail, one at Zoho (my reporting alias), and one at Yahoo (Gomer).

Cool - thanks for the answers. Guess I'll go with GMail. To me, it's just important to have email boxes outside of Germany - political reasons beyond reasonability. Like all politics, if you ask me.

Dang, I'm just ps-ed for that bait I had running from my old email provider. The lad apparently doesn't respond to other people anymore (Tried contacting them as another character, didn't even respond). Anyway, I'll get to it.

I have two Gmail accounts and one Yandex account. Yandex has a nice feature where you can set the time to whatever time zone you want. Gmail might have the same feature but I have not been able to find it.

I use gmail, yahoo and yandex. Of all of them I prefer yahoo. Yandex is great but be aware that ithe doesn't hide ip. It that concerns you you'll want to use it when you're on a VPN.

My favorite is Inbox -- free, with a clean interface, hides your IP and it's super user-friendly. My beloved Mentor Inspector Gadget turned me on to that one. I also use Zoho.

I have one hotmail account which now also hides your ip. Besides that it's all gmail.
