One should do that for all email addresses, even ones that one uses daily. You never know when you will be screwed over by your provider.

- netsharc 3y agoI got Yahoo! Mail in the 90's (when they started offering email, the world was so different and I thought a @yahoo.com address was a must have). A few years ago I thought I'd look at emails from my teenage years, and guess what, Yahoo silently lost all my emails before the year 2000/2001. If only I can find that 20GB IDE disk with all the data I've migrated since my first computer...
- romanhn 3y agoI'd suggest looking again - they might have lost the rest by now if you haven't been using it. They now delete all email if you haven't logged in for a year. I found out first-hand :(
- netsharc 3y agoNah, I look in it daily, I use it now as the address for online shops, etc. Which is a terrible idea because they can upload their data to Facebook (where I'm also registered with this email) and then both sides have a better marketing profile of me...
