I hate using email anyway, but I keep getting spam and phishing emails from obfuscated addresses, seems to be from someone in Japan? They sometimes use people on my contacts list or large firms like Amazon. I also got some of those weird threatening mails last year, what's odd is they tried to list my passwords but they weren't quite right, how would they be close but not right? This is all a pain, I don't really care but they just keep coming.

I use zoho now. The new server doesn't cater for email too, so I moved the bordersdown emails to zoho, like it and then moved all my other emails to zoho too. It's a bit fiddly, but I have one account and multiple folders that get populated with emails from various accounts via auto-rules, same with sent items. Saves loads of money.

Very little you can do about getting emails, but gmail usually does a good job of hiding spam, mark them as spam in your email client and similar emails should go into spam. You can check your email address to see which lists your address is on: https://haveibeenpwned.com/Last edited by MartyG; 06-01-2020, 05:43.

Yeah I get loads of those emails. All of them have my standard throwaway password for sites that aren’t important. All of them bar one threatened to send a video of me to my friends and family unless I sent some bitcoin. One of them though reckoned he was a hitman tasked with killing me, hired by a rival business lol.
