    That’s who.

    I get that a lot of my IT colleagues don’t want to faff around with self hosting email, or even running their own domain. But I really struggle with the idea that those who work in IT would ever trust their email to their ISP. That’s just asking for trouble.

      No, my concern is that if you change your ISP, you have to edit a fuck-ton of accounts with your new email address.

      It’s like writing an ISP email address on your business card or your car. It’s short-sighted in my opinion.
