    I still use Yahoo Mail. They offer disposable addresses with a suffix you can choose. I like it better than putting extra characters in Gmail addresses, because you can actually delete those Yahoo addresses.

    Yahoo Japan is also a Y! fork that’s still doing well.

      DuckDuckGo has a similar service. It’s definitely nice.

      I have three yahoo email accounts I still use, the oldest from about 1997 and surprisingly, the spam folder on that one rarely gets anything. (The other two are leftovers from when you had to get a yahoo account to make a geocities site). I really like the disposable addresses. Luckily I signed up back when you could have 10 on one of them. Then they ditched it for free users, but brought it back with the three limit. But I got to keep my 10.

      Excite was my jam though. I was sad when I lost my excite accounts.

        Yeah, it depends on when you registered. I have more as well. I think you get a lot more in the paid “Pro” version.
