I have a Gmail account, but only because it was required for some reason that is obscure now. Maybe so I could comment on Blogger blogs.
Anyway I would not use anything except my ISP email for recovering passwords when possible, and I don't consider them very secure.
Personally I think using gmail, yahoo, msm or hotmail should only be for general chit-chat with friends (because they will get you on spam lists as quick as anyone), or for a required email addy online when you would prefer not to give it.
I do have other online email servers but I never look at them. For those that I can pop I have a rule set up in outlook express to automatically delete everything that appears on those servers without downloading it. |
