Gmail is becoming harder and harder to make without giving a phone number, even when cookies cleared, Fresh IP etc, plus you get phone verification requests more often now. Seems like Sunday is a very bad day to make gmail accounts

Mail.com/Gmx is good because no phone verification, although I had a couple of accounts blocked.

Hotmail good because of aliases

Doesnt Hotmail also request phone verification?

I've had it happen several times. Try and re-use a phone number and it wont work.

Well not by their own power....so to compensate I will strap miniature rockets on their backs.

That would give a heat signature, though.

Maybe now, my Hotmail accounts are old and was adding aliases.

Mail.com/GMX are by far the easiest to open, only snag is that you have to pay for forwarding

Yahoo not going to be very popular after this

Yahoo 'secretly scanned emails for US authorities' - BBC News

Yahoo scanned all of its users’ incoming emails on behalf of U.S. intelligence officials

Why I moved to encrypted email to begin with.

If Yahoo is doing it, so is everyone else.

Yes I have no doubt - the major IT companies like Microsoft, Apple, Google etc were complicit in sharing user data with governments until the Wikileaks revelations which exposed mass surveillance.
