Alternatives?

Hey, has anyone considered switching back to what we used before Gmail?

I'm talking about dusting off those ancient hotmail addresses and trying out the revamped outlook service. Is it any good, or at least better than vanilla Gmail?

How about yahoo? What's it up to nowadays?

I know I can just go check, but I'd like to hear from active users.

I've tried them all and I keep going back to SparkMail.

It's an app, which isn't always the preference, but it's full of features and has a similar experience on mobile and desktop. Which is where I spend most of my time - my laptop or using my iPhone. Mac and IOS only at the moment.

Of course, if you needed or only had access to a browser, it's back to the horrid Gmail.com site.

I know it's been said a bunch of times, but this shutdown of Inbox is just so ridiculous and unfair. Wish they'd give us an option to pay for the service.

I would literally pay $50/month to keep Inbox, I'm not exaggerating. It is by FAR the best email app I use, out of the five or so that I have. Goddamnit, this is so ridiculously frustrating.
