    You don’t need a phone number to register an Outlook mailbox, of all companies. And they even don’t object that much if you create plenty of alts. That’s funny.

    But I’m not sure if there’s any other major email provider where you can get a free mailbox with IMAP without a phone number.

      Not sure about outlook, but creating a new microsoft account failed recently. I suspect this also depends if you’re in the US or EU. Europe requires id card to register phone and almost all big email and social media now require phone numbers. Making you basically immediately personally identifiable. Or if you’re on any kind of VPN or not. Knowing this definitely has a chilling effect on me.
