@comcast.net
@gmail.com
@mailinator.com
@outlook.com
@runbox.com
@yahoo.co

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=example+email+address+list
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=sample+email+address+syntax
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=common+email+addresses
etcetera

Off your hand do you know of a list of common used email domains?

I doubt any of those are in the top 100.

@mailinator.com
@runbox.com
@yahoo.co


Or those.

Addresses is the wrong search word. "Most common email domains" brought up:

http://www.thewindowsclub.com/common...mail-addresses

As the first hit. But I didn't load the page because it wanted me to
disable my adblocker and I don't do that.

Last I looked gmail was about 30%, "other" was about 30%, and the other
40% was divided up among a couple dozen things like outlook, hotmail,
icloud, farcebook, and others.

Yahoo and AOL have lost a lot over just the last year.

The list will depend a lot on where you are and what mail you receive,
of course.

That is not a list of the most common email domains. It's also more than
3500.

It works fine for me. I just block script altogether.
But I don't believe what it says. Outlook.com #1. I
don't know anyone with outlook.com. It's possible that
a lot of people have been assigned an outlook.com
address who use MS Office, Visual Studio, or maybe
even Windows 10. That's the kind of thing Microsoft
would pull. Just as anyone who buys an Android phone
gets a gmail address. That doesn't mean they use it,
or even that they know what it is. I bought a new truck
last year and the salesman set up a gmail address
for me because he didn't know what mine was! Good
luck for me. Nissan is sending their spam to that address
so I don't have to see it. I have no idea what it even
is. But it's counted as a gmail account.

That list is also only freebie addresses. #2 and #3 are
gmail and yahoo. So far, so good. #4 is inbox.com. I
used to have an inbox account. They discontinued the
free version. So it's definitely not #4. #5 is icloud. Again,
anyone with a Mac or iPhone probably gets saddled with
an icloud account. I don't know anyone who uses
that service.

I'm not sure it's realistic to figure this out. In my
experience, gmail is by far the most popular. Most
people no longer understand how to set up their ISP
email. Over the years I've watched people I know
move from things like charter or comcast to gmail.
Always gmail. But it's a bit like asking what's the
most common street name. The question is not
relevant in any way that I can think of, so there's
no reason for anyone to do a survey. And how would
someone do such a survey? There's no official
place where one needs to register email services,
and every owned domain is potentially an email
domain.

I'm more interested in *why* - and I fear that the only logical answer I
can come up with is to program a spambot to run dictionary attacks
against all the most-used domains. So my answer to the OP would be
"spammers will know".

Indeed, with no hint of being sorted into any sort of order other than
alphanumeric.

Eh? I have never heard this before; I have one, but remember absolutely
no mention of gmail in the (minimal!) paperwork that came with it.

You know more than I do. I have a Tracphone
which I keep in my glove compartment, turned off,
and treat as a portable phone booth. That's the
extent of my exposure to cellphones.

My ladyfriend has an Android and that's what
happened with her. The salesperson who set up
the phone got her a gmail account. My impression
was that the gmail ID was to be used at the "Google
app store", which is apparently unavoidable with
Android. Is that not true? Or did you perhaps
already have a gmail address, so you didn't notice?

A quick search turns up pages like this:

https://android.stackexchange.com/qu...rom-my-android

The implication being that one may not have to
have a gmail account, but that it's required for
use of the "Android Market", and presumably that's
required to get apps? So maybe a gmail account
is set up as a courtesy when people don't already
have one. After all, most people who willingly use
Google products are likely to want the convenience
of interconnected services. And if they don't? Then
I guess it's like Windows 10: "Whaaaa?! You can
certainly have privacy, so long as you don't want
to use the computer's functionality. Whoever told
you otherwise is a tinfoil-hat nutjob!"

It could be useful for a mailserver. Long ago I used to whitelist yahoo
from certain tests because their servers were broken (and are still
broken) and too many people used yahoo.

But not long after that I blacklisted Yahoo for their refusal to deal
with abuse from their mailservers ... and I'd seen a steep drop int he
number of legitimate mails from Yahoo.

You mean you actually _talk_ to people on your 'phone? How quaint (-:

figured out in the last year how to accept a call on my smartphone.

I've never had a gmail account. I have downloaded app.s for the 'phone,
but only free ones. But I think they were from the "store"; maybe I was
able to use my (old, now defunct) Demon subdomain emails.

Lots of them obsolete. At least two on the list have been
