Comparing Vivaldi Webmail and Other Services
-
You are correct in what you say. I use it as you suggest. The main thing missing for me is to schedule an email to send later. I use it with DDG email protection service to protect my one Vivaldi address, because it doesn't offer another short domain address like, for example, proton does. But I've not had any bounces as I have had with GMX or Proton.

@seanbala Same here. I just learned today that Cox no longer creates mailboxes for customers. When did it become OK for your ISP to stop this service?
-
@merkinmuffley Some ISP's do not offer e-mail addresses for their customers.
Cox transitioned their e-mail service to Yahoo two years ago.
Verizon did the same, after they acquired Yahoo.
Comcast discontinued the creation of new/additional e-mail accounts last June, but continues to provide the e-mail service.

Likely when the fear of losing an ISP's email address no longer played a part in choice of ISP for a majority of people..

@yojimbo274064400 true, although oddly enough I still have working att.net and CenturyLink.net email addresses years after stopping the service.
-
@yojimbo274064400 @joeimp Comcast will allow a former customer to retain their Comcast e-mail address, although it would then require logging in via their web site to access it. If the user does not log in any one time within nine months of the prior login, the e-mail account is then closed.
-
@joeimp Yes, att.net also uses the currently.com domain, all of which you don't need to be an att customer to sign up for the service.

@pearcem01 Yes, but I don't know how much they track you, compared to Vivaldi who doesn't. But it's probably better than Gmail or Outlook?

AT&T's POP3/IMAP/SMTP server names listed on the link @pearcem01 provided, all resolve to Yahoo.
