Which email provider would you recommend ?

Is your real name actually 'r04DiE'?

No. Why?

No. Why?

Sorry - I thought you said it was wrong to pretend.

Maybe not, but if you're pretending that a set of keys have a date of birth and a mobile, then that's not exactly true, is it?

My cats both had email addresses at one point, although technically they were not using the phone.

One also won a free raffle for a BBQ at a local store as well

Well, I didn't say that anywhere. On the contrary, I did say this though:

... You are deluding yourself if you think this isn't lying. Not that it bothers me, Google aren't the most trustworthy bunch, so who cares if they get lied to?

I must have misread this post then.

That doesn't say that I think its wrong to pretend, so yes, you misread the post.

So it's OK to lie, so long as it's a to a corporation.
Thanks for clearing that up.

I didn't say its okay, I said I don't care if people do it. That's not condoning it, its saying that I don't care one way or the other.

First you said that I was of the opinion that its wrong to pretend, and you were wrong there, now you're saying that I condone lying to corporations, and you're wrong there too. Maybe you should give up and stop trolling me.

Your posts appeared contradictory to me. I was seeking clarification.
Maybe not the best of things to do after a liquid lunch.

OK, sorry - I shouldn't be rude, it did seem a bit like you were trolling though. I take it back. Have a nice afternoon.

and me.

I configure my main email software on my home PC with 1 day's server retention, so that my mobile has access to recent email. Mobile is set to not delete mail on the server and automatically bcc's my address with anything I send with it so I get a copy to store on the PC.

Email has multiple backups which have proved their worth on more than one occasion. I create a specific address to use on sites that I suspect might sell my details on and if that address gets spammed, I delete it and create a new one.

Good idea on the bcc.
