Its time to start looking at your provider you use, especially if you live in Australia.
According to an article titled Australia’s internet providers are ditching email, to the disgust of older customers which was published and updated on August 20th, some providers will soon charge for the privilege of having that email address.
I’m one of these people who migrated once I baught my domain, but there are folks who don’t want a domain.
I think domains would be better than having something like Gmail or Yahoo, as you’re in control of the email, if you’re clever enough, you install the software to block out spam, unless your provider does that for you.
I understand that hosting and domain costs aren’t in everyone’s budget either, so this is a tough one.
This is the first I’m hearing of such a move, but some providers aren’t equipped to keep up with the deluge of spam and very interesting email we talk about.
It was an interesting article that people need to at least look at, just in case their provider they have decides to either drop or charge for email access.
Let me know if something like this happens in your world!

To be honest thats happened here for ages.
With thhe rize of cloud mail like google its been like that for ages.
You can still for some isps get as an option isp mail via a nz cloud previder but really everyone is on google or other thing and with google taking pop and imap and web and on all our devices its a no brainer.
Pluss the google spam system is vastly better than any isp one we have currently.
