I'm mostly curious to see how many people use an ISP-provided email address. I realized today that I don't know anyone my age that still uses one, but a lot of my extended family still does.

I'm slowly moving away from my ISP provided address.

That's almost unimaginable to me. I moved from an ISP account to a Yahoo account about a decade ago. After changing ISP's a couple times in college, it just wasn't worth dealing with switching every time anymore.

Over time, Yahoo's spam filtering and crappy UI caused me to move over to Gmail, and I'm not sure that'll ever change unless Google majorly screws something up.

Wow, I much prefer the yahoo UI to Gmail. I am slowly moving away from using Google for anything, including searches. Not fond of format and layout changes - moving features I use all the time - so that they can bombard me with even more advertising.

I've had the same ISP for 13 years.

I've had a yahoo account since 1997. It's unusable at this point due to the volume of spam it receives.

I have a Hotmail address that I have had since the Spring of '97. It's like a spam shitstorm in there.

Same deal here. I finally abandoned it because trying to route it to the spam folder was like trying to stop the titanic from sinking by plugging the hole with my finger.

Yup. I use it to sign up for things now. It's probably my e-mail address here.

i have a few ... some for dicey spam situations, some for registration and some for online purchases etc.

keeping them separate acts as sort a firewall for my personal information.

Yep.

I have had the same Yahoo account for 12 years and don't get overwhelmed with spam. It's because I have other accounts that I use for questionable, risky, or temporary stuff. They're like spam honeypots.

I think with the advances in Gmail and Yahoo, and the mobile device explosion, those Gmail and Yahoo options make more sense than ever. Plus, service provider hopping is becoming more common, so that plays into it too.. I use both Gmail and Yahoo, and I even have my legacy ISP email that I still check at home...

Ya, I do not. Have not in more than a decade. Like others, I have been using gmail/yahoo over the years for personal mail.
