Best email provider for comp emails

timespeedsup

Hi all,

I use a yahoo email address for competitions. But when a comp requires a confirmation email, yahoo seems to filter out some as spam and not even deliver them to me, not even sending them straight to the spam folder.

Conversely if I use my gmail email address, the conformation emails always come through. However, this is not where I want a lot of spam comp emails to also arrive.

So can anyone recommend a different email provider that's reliable?

Ta.

Can't you set up a separate gmail account?

Do others do that and find it straightforward to move between the two?

I use Gmail for general comping, GMX for the newsletter comps and Zoho for my main email address, all have the ability to turn off the spam filters via their settings.

I use gmail for my comping email and rarely get spam, but I do make sure I read the competition t&c's, and if there's tick boxes check which ones are the opt-in to third party stuff so I can avoid them.

I have 3 different gmail accounts for different purposes, works a treat. - oh and you can link the extras to your main account to make it easy to open them all once or twice a day to check for wems etc, and you can delete your comping one when it gets too full and make another.

Hotmail or Outlook as it's now known ... you can setup unlimited aliases which all go into the same account, so for example you could have :

Ilovemygirls@outlook
Ilovemyboys@outlook
bridetobe@outlook

whatever ... and then you can use different email addresses for different comps, all of the emails go into one account and divide up automatically into the corresponding folders
