Do you still have a ‘Hotmail’ email address

[flagpolesitta]

Keep seeing this mentioned on social media in videos or posts about being old 😳🤣
I have no plans to change my email but lots of people saying they hate giving their email address to people and having to say ‘@ hotmail.com’
I didn’t even realise new emails don’t still use this…

I’ve got a Hotmail email address but really don’t care what the kids think as those haircuts the lads have look fucking stupid 😂

Yep, full name with year of birth @hotmail.co.uk🤣 and I do realise it makes me sound so old when I give it out, but this thread has made me feel rather proud of it 😂

Yes - I proudly own a Hotmail.com email. What even are the other alternatives??

Mine is AOL! I haven't changed it since 1997. Ought I to?

Mine sounds Italian!
Youngsters can’t spell it. It’s very very old.
Full.name@italian sounding domain.co.uk
It’s rather sophisticated. I have no desire to change it.

I was talking to the bank yesterday who wanted to confirm my email was still valid...yes, [email protected] it since 2000 when I moved jobs.
I do have a Gmail too but don't use it much.
10 years ago I was told not to use it on a CV as it was old fashioned...

Mine too! I don't care what anyone says about it. I have another but never use it.

Yes with those stupid fringes. Must get greasy and pimply underneath!

It’s definitely retro cool.

I set mine up so long ago that it is just (common) first name and first letter of surname @ hotmail.com

I still work in cutting edge tech and use it when professional networking.

Mine too! It even has part of a very 90’s band name in there too 😂 I’ve had it since I was 13 and use it for everything still.

Yes I still have mine, cannot be bothered to change it, as it’s linked to EVERYTHING 😅

I have a Hotmail.co.uk email but my Dh has a whsmithnet.co.uk email. I cannot be bothered to change it.

I have one, but it's from so long ago I can't remember it, and there's little to no chance I'd remember the password. Hope I haven't missed any offers of a fortune from Nigerian princes and the like.

I’ve got an aol one aswell 😂 but i’ve also got icloud aswell

Yep [email protected] my parents have the same because I set theirs up too. I have a Gmail address but thats just use to set up my phone and link to Google services and my kids.

I got mine in 1996. It's still "live", as in receiving things I can't be arsed to unsubscribe from. However I'm not keen on being in thrall to someone elses services. A lot of people have come unstuck relying on 3rd party email providers.

I have a Yahoo address which my son laughed at. I've needed to make another one for jobs and made another Yahoo one as I can't face something new. Now I realise that leaving age off CV will make no difference as they will know. Sigh.

Have my full name including middle initial at .com. Registered in 1997. Anyone who sneers at it can F right off. If anything it shows that I was computer literate for decades before them.

Yes I have a Hotmail.co.uk which I use every day, my 14 year old told me yesterday you apparently can’t make a .co.uk one anymore much to his disappointment

Mines AOL🤣🤣🤣🤣

No, treasure it as a vintage item! Just don't apply for any IT jobs 🫣😁

I've always had a hotmail email address and have no intention of changing it.

What is the issue with it?

I had no idea that this was a thing, I'm a Hotmail person. Is this a sinister marketing attempt by Google to subtly flood the Internet with the implication that Hotmail is deeply uncool and boring so that everyone sets up a Gmail account instead. Is this part of their bid to control everyone through their Gmail?
What email accounts are cool apart from Gmail? So many questions.

Ive got an aol.com email address. Absolutely love it. My name & 2 numbers. So easy to remember, no-one misspells it & as everyone has it I'm not changing it ever.

I have my full name @ hotmail.com too. Set up in late 90s on our first computer. No intention of changing it. I have a gmail one too but don’t use it for much.

The cheek of the younger generation telling us it’s old fashioned! We thought them to use a spoon and wipe their bums!
