O2 Webmail - Do you use it?

Anonymous — Fri, 28 Jun 2013 13:41:13 GMT

So, I've noticed quite a few threads where O2 webmail has been mentioned because people either can't access the website or they have trouble configuring it on their phone.

I was just curious as to how many people actually use O2 webmail...and why?

I've never came across anyone who had an o2 email address (although I did create an account many years ago), and I would have thought that some of the other free alternatives would provide far more functionality and reliability, so wondered why people have stuck with their O2 email account?

I use it several times a day 7 days a week, even though I have 2 Hotmail accounts and 2 Gmail accounts.

Well you're beating me there Richard with 5 email accounts!

I've got 2 hotmail accounts and 1 Gmail account all of which I use regularly. I've signed up for loads of other different email accounts but never use them, ie O2 Webmail

I use Hotmail to store all the pointless foreign spam and phishing emails I get, and to log into Xbox Live.

I also have 2 Xbox Live accounts, one I use for free downloads, and my main account I use for XBL Gold for online gaming and premium downloads (not that I do a lot of online multiplayer stuff, I tend not to because due to wearing a hearing aid I can't use the headset to voice chat)

Store them...delete them straight away when you get them, preferably unread.

I have an old genie address that converted to an O2 address (from the days when that was how you got email to phone via SMS) and three other addresses that were assigned with phone contract, mobile and fixed line broadband. I hardly ever use webmail with the main account (the old genie one) but log into the others from time to time to check and delete any spam etc or messages from O2 that have been wrongly directed.

I never understood why O2 forced you to have a discrete address for each account.

I also have 2 Gmail accounts, one Yahoo mail account, and a Virgin Media one. The Yahoo one was another legacy one from webmail via WAP days.
