I know someone with a Juno.com email address.
There’s a name I haven’t heard in a while. My parents and older siblings had juno email addresses through our ISP way back in the day. If you check their website they’re still not on https yet.
Get a good domain name
Uses a Yahoo email…
Owning a domain name is still a reasonably good idea, but it was never a path to fame, even back then. A stepping stone, maybe, but even then, not strictly necessary.
Yahoo mail still exists - you can even set up a new one - but they got rid of the forwarding feature for free accounts a few years ago, so you actually have to make an effort to log in to the site and check. There’s no way to access free mail accounts other than doing that. Of course, if you’re willing to pay something, you can get forwarding back and maybe something like POP or even IMAP.
Of course, if you do pay, you’ll be supporting some of the more questionable decisions made by Yahoo management.
There’s no way to access free mail accounts other than doing that.
There are many Android Apps that connect to yahoo through the web interface and retrieve your email so you can read it in a normal place.
I think the point of doing this first is not about getting fame, but to be ready for it. Once you are famous someone can claim the domain you wanted and hold it hostage so by doing this you don’t have to deal with that later on.
I can confirm yahoo still exists, and they’re great for my junk mail since I don’t have anything signed into it, it was made before you needed to link any personally identifying info so I think my name is still something like “fart boob” or something like that. 13 year old me thought it was hilarious.
Honestly if someone managed to hijack that account, either they’d quickly realize it was worthless or I’d be laughing as I tell them to have fun with their garbage, I’ll be sending some more soon.
My dad uses yahoo. On a Linux mint machine I do the maintenance on and keep trying to nudge him towards duckduckgo.
