[QUOTE="Marko :), post: 889068, member: 39702"] As primary, I mean for official communication with people, as well as companies. I use Outlook.com because it was only e-mail service that had good name available for registration. That e-mail address isn't given to anyone and isn't registered anywhere except on Google. Both accounts are secured with strong password and 2FA. I have two more pseudonyms on that Outlook.com account; first one is used for official communication with people and companies. Second is used for communication with friends. With all of that, I use Gmail too. Since Gmail e-mail addresses never expire and once deleted, cannot be used again, I'm using it for important stuff like banking etc. All e-mails received on Gmail are automatically forwarded to my Outlook.com account with copy kept on Gmail. And yes, this e-mail is also well protected. And lastly, I want to mention local e-mail service, unknown to you. It's from local news portal here and I have bunch of other e-mail addresses there. They are for registering on different forums and websites that I don't find trustworthy or important (and won't accept Guerrilla Mail). This is the worst e-mail service by far because of it's uptime, problems, spam, non-existent support, poor security, missing support for sending mails via client and account recycling (your account is automatically deleted if you don't sign in for 100 days). This particular e-mail service costed a lot of people losing accounts such as Facebook, because upon expiration, you can immediately register it again and you'll get mail from different people who previously owned it.
