I just don't like paying for my email accounts.

Precisely, why should anyone pay for an email service.

@Inori, when choosing an email provider, just make sure the email "address" cannot be recycled due to x-amount of days of account Inactivity. Gmail does not recycle email addresses, but Microsoft (example, Outlook) and Yahoo do when the account Is Inactive for a certain period. This means the email address (not the "account") may be available for registration to the general public.

Just checked thats false. Logged into my 4+ year old yahoo. Haven't been on in 6+ months.

Use AOL
I use my own mailing servers tbh.
