Did you ever get mail from the one guy who cuts and pastes all of your WDYLL photos into a collage except with like naked bodies under your head? Terrifying but p dope Photoshop skills.

This fan mail thing is bizarre.
Mordy, are you sure you're not sending yourself messages when you're high?

my inbox is probably bursting with fanmail and i'll never know
― example (crüt), Monday, 29 September 2014 20:41 (nine years ago) link
Mine's a Hotmail address which probably tells you all you need to know. Yes, I rarely look at it and it's spam-infested. Although my main current address is also on Microsoft's newer Outlook webmail, as I remain perplexed at the popularity of unintuitive-as-all-getout Gmail.

did u ever get a mail from that dude that like compiles his favorite posts of yrs and just sends a long email w/ all of them? creepy, but kinda endearing imo.
― Mordy, Monday, 29 September 2014 20:34 (10 minutes ago)

xpost Well, they don't throw out years' worth of correspondence if you forget to login every 30 days, for a start. Hotmail was ultimately just a digital shredder of my late '90s/early '00s online existence.
― The Final Meltdown (Old Lunch), Monday, 29 September 2014 20:50 (nine years ago) link
why would you have the account if you don't use it for 30 days? what if your shipwrecked uncle emailed you there?
― son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius), Monday, 29 September 2014 20:52 (nine years ago) link
i use a hotmail under a fake name which i can't get into because i refuse to give them my cell phone #

check my ilx email sporadically but not that often. tempted to start sending fan mail.
― ogmor, Monday, 29 September 2014 20:55 (nine years ago) link
I lost years of correspondence some of which I really would have liked to keep by not logging into a hotmail account for 3 months. ;_;
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Monday, 29 September 2014 20:56 (nine years ago) link
By that point it was mostly spam and I just forgot to checkIt.

Does Google keeps your account active if you don't log on for years?
My first webmail account in the mid-'90s was on usa.net which went defunct and *everybody* lost all their correspondence. Also, I have another old Hotmail account where I seem to have lost most of my outgoing email although it has 10 years of incoming mail. (and yes, it's set to save all my outgoing mail).
― and in his absence, she (Lee626), Monday, 29 September 2014 21:12 (nine years ago) link
tlg, i have Hotmail as my primary/ONLY account even tho i didn't give them my cellphone # (bcz I don't have one).

No, it is dead and gone.
About five years ago my email account was deleted (moved ISP). Not bothered to change my name.
Also the reason I can't join 77.
I used to get the odd email, always quite nice - got one from a free jazz fan from Chile, another from the daughter of a drummer I wrote about on ilx - saying she was moved! I count this as a life highlight obv.
Few others from past regulars, nothing hateful or anything.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 29 September 2014 22:51 (nine years ago) link
Oh that's right! Just a couple weeks ago I got an email from the spouse (?) of a musician I posted about on ilx once. She corrected me on some biographical facts (which as far as I can tell I just copied off of wikipedia or something).
― how's life, Monday, 29 September 2014 22:57 (nine years ago) link
just checked my ilx email address for probably the first time since I registered to see if I have any fanmail or emails from relatives of musicians I have posted about, I don't ;_;

reporting back to say i logged into my coupons-'n-promos account to set up an ilx forwarding filter, promptly got distracted by a GOG.com sale email, and now i own the deluxe edition of rollercoaster tycoon.

Thread reminded me to check where my ILXmail actually goes, and eventually I remembered it goes to an address I hadn't checked for a while, which turned out to have a full mailbox and probably have been rejecting emails for an unknown period because of it
think it still works now I've deleted a billion "special offers! this weekend only!" emails from many weekends ago tho
so I probably ought to tick "never look at it" but my head is now full of good intentions to check it more often and I think I'll let this delusion nudge my vote up to "may take a while" (though tbh if I don't see a non-promotional email within a week of it arriving it will be lost forever among the Amazon and Sainsbury's and That One Gift Tat Shop You Used Nine Christmases Ago Who Email You About New Products Every Day etc)
