Where you don't have to register your phone number like yahoo mail or gmail.... yet also legitimate and secure

I like Confidesk very much: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=720542.msg9685033#msg9685033 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=720542.msg9685033#msg9685033)

It's a Swiss-based provider which ensures the best privacy and security.
But  the free basic package is only 50MB.

Anyway, stay away from Google and Yahoo!

I don't think Gmail forces you to register your phone number.
Yes, it asks for it but you can always press the 'skip' button.

If you're too concerned about privacy and encryption, try ProtonMail. It is a new swiss service that provides free account (with limited storage).

ProtonMail ---> ProtonMail : end-to-end encryption
ProtonMail ---> Other mail : one way encryption
Other mail ---> ProtonMail : no encryption

I don't think you have to use your phone number with hotmail or outlook or whatever its called nowadays (at least you didn't the last time I used it), but I wouldn't say it's the best account that's for sure but it meets your criteria at least.

you dont always have to register a phone @ gmail i dont think

gave up hotmail/outlook as i could not skip 2 factor (phone number).
personaly using https://www.inbox.com/
what about https://unseen.is/  (closed source Anonymous ?)

Gmail -the #1 free email service. (Google is watching you)  ::)

phone number is necessary if you want a gmail account, i've tried to register with my laptop it asks for a phone number before i can access my gmail account. however if you try to register with a mobile phone(android) you don't have to enter mobile number.

Xiaoxiao, you may try outlook i think they don't ask for mobile number verification.

I dont know gmail seems to be random as hell.. sometimes asks after registration and sometimes it doesnt..

outlook
gmail
aol

live.com

www.mail.com

the best free email services are yahoo or gmail.

protonmail.ch has a nice privacy-oriented email service that is free.

Can  you not use an alt email address for that? Think that's what I did but don't remember being mandatory. Did you look to see if there was a skip this step button?

I did not want 2 factor, looked hard for skip button, but gave up on hotmail/outlook. Lucky as it was not my main account, have not been able to access it to this day.
Also have major problem with gmail at moment with 2 factor enabled and no working sim. Cant get a new sim for some time as i am in another country currently. Contacted gmail to disable, but no luck as i could not remember what month or year registered.

It's very effective. You can use it anytime you want

free email service  - Gmail - the No1

I use mail.com usually, not sure if the best, but good enough

Well why dont u use gmail (google mail) and dont type your phone number? it does not matter

I personally use Gmail not sure if the best, but good enough

i use hotmail, i believe the option for a phone is optional, i have a gamil account but frankly i don't like the design :/

gmail. the best free email service.

I fell both gmail and yahoo is ok so far

If you want disposable email address for registrations and stuff use this.

temp-mail.org (http://temp-mail.org)

I'm currently using ruggedinbox.com. It's fast and I can use it on tor.

I'm using gmail and yahoo.

I am using gmail, had nothing any problem or any issues in the past, so i prefer it, also yahoo is good enough

gmail and yahoo

By far I've been using Gmail. They are free and secure.

try for hosting mail  ;)

I am using both gmail and Yahoo and like them, you do need to provide your phone number but there are plenty of online numbers for verification etc...

Gmail & Yahoo & Hotmail

i use gmail and yahoo.

just gmail.
the best free email.

i am using yahoo for mail and it is asking me for phone number all the time but i just skip the step. I don’t see the reason why I should  provide them with my phone number, The mail is functioning great without the phone number verification

Gmail simple the best. It has the best security.

gmail is easy, comfortable interface without excessive graphics and a good filter IMO.

You can avoid using a cellphone in Yahoo as far as I know,I think most of public e-mail providers won't ask for phone number to be confirmed unless you register from a suspicious IP like a known Tor exit node or a proxy etc...

I am currently testing out OpenMailBox. Any more experiences with it?

Any thoughts on "GMX"?

Believe its a German email provider,only issue I have had is due to having multiple email accounts they sometimes shut it down and ask me to contact them.
Which I never get a response for but I was told they are secure.

Quite frankly, I've found that they all suck. I'd even be willing to pay for one if it was decent

Mail.com is easy to use IMO, I think it's owned by 1and1 a big domain provider too. They ask for a phone number in registration but they didn't ask for it to be verified in registration or during use/checking e-mails etc...

Keep in mind that any free email services are not going to be as reliable when it comes to your security as a paid service will be.

Openmailbox.org

https://www.openmailbox.org

Looks simple, no ads, loads fast, and dont have to wait 3 days for an e-mail to arrive like with AOL lol.

If you want rich features then you cant go wrong with googles gmail. Its probably the most popular and most secure. but if you want a far less feature rich experince and just want a mail then I would recommend either mail2tor if using tor browser regular or yandex. yandex is like gmail with a little less features and people claim it to be russias gmail.

How about following Satoshi NAkamotos path?
His original email was satoshin@gmx.com !
Personally I like gmx.com cause it just works without
requiring any personal info like phone number.
Just fill in the form with fake info and you're good to go.

if you want a disposable email then try yopmail :)

I always got with the classic: gmx.

If its good for Satoshi I am full hog GMX from here on.

i use gmail :)

i've use hotmail since i know about email

i prefer on gmail

yahoo mail

gmail and ymail

I don't use gmail because I already have a gmail account. You are allowed more than one?

You can have more than one or you used to be able to have more than one. Connected one to my cell. and left two others without but when I went to create a new gmail account it wanted the phone number. I suspect they changed it.

i think the best free email services are yahoo or gmail.
and of course They are free and secure.
you  need to provide your phone number  for verification

if you need temporary accounts you can use mailinator

yahoo

ymail and gmail

I thought mail.com was a fraud.

gmail

If you want free disposable emails, I would recommend mailinator.com, or 10minutemail.com.

Yahoo. i like it.

hotmail.

I like Gmail.

gmx.com. When i registered account there i didn't have to do phone verification. I am not sure what is criteria now.

I use Gmail for daily use and personal task..
But for working i use email that i got from my office..

Gmail is the best free email service, not only as email but you can use it to login to other google service
temp-mail.org is good for disposable mail

Gmail

+1

I'm undecided between gmail and yahoo.

gmail for sure

Gmail is the easy one to use..

www.protonmail.ch +1

im suprised he used gmx they have been hacker numerous times and also someone got into satoshi email because of a recent hack they are not very good yet he used them for some reason

legitmate and secure more better in gmail, yahoo mail & hotmail..
we always can choose to skip filling our phone number..
so no need to worry about your private phone number.. :D

for me it's still gmail.

Gmail I think is the best free email service

My favorite one is gmail. I think it is organized the best and I like that it is easy to use all of the time. It has also been great at preventing a few suspicious people who have tried to randomly get into my account over the years. This hasn’t happened much, but having the same account for quite a few years has made it more likely and gmail was able to put a stop to it and that was nice.

I am curious why you do not want to give your phone number. Most of them are just so that you are able to get into the account in case you get locked out for some reason. I have never gotten a text or anything else from them outside of an alert to a password change or something.

If you do need something that doesn’t use your phone, I had a Hotmail account for school This was free and I don’t think I ever had to give my phone number to get into it or every use it. This might have changed since I last used it, but might be worth a bit of a try?

Gmail

Gmail. You Don't need Phone Number To be Registered any More

i think the best gmail and yahoo.

For me it's gmail

i use only gmail.com

mailinator as i dont need real email services

i use gmail

hotmail

I am used a lot of free email services. Now I am using hotmail, yahoo and gmail. It is the best for me :)

Yahoo. i like it

Mail.com is ok, crap security though

Cock.li is a good email service

Gmail has the best free services that integrate with email. Drive, documents, etc. all rolled into one.

As long as you're okay with big bro watching ;)

mail.com i think is the best.. 8)

gmail

Fakeemail :)

I love it when i need it.

I use protonmail too, good service

I think gmail is the most popular free mail service because with one account I can access to a lot of services like gmail, YouTube , drive , etc..

yahoo

gmail,hotmail

gmail enaugh for me.

scryptmail

I vote for gmail

I'm convinced that gmail is the best service for me. Really convenient (especially with several devices)

gmail, but i don't like some policy of Big G.

The best free email services are hotmail, yahoo and gmail. I am using them. I am a satisfied with them. :)

A bi overpriced I'd say but I think http://safe-mail.net/ is the best one in terms of security

gmx.com and mail.com

lots of domains you can pick

Hi

I would say gmail

Thanks

I like yahoo here.

i think @gmail and yahoo mail and redif mail is the best for using it is free to use and secure so this is the best mails for using

I prefer yahoo ,hotmail and google because this mail gives us more security

i think gmail,  redif, yahoo mails are free emails services and yandex also

i think gmail and yahoo mail 8) 8) 8) 8)
