My Mum’s still got a Bigpond address. We’ve been trying to get her off it, which has hopefully been successful as she’s now moved and doesn’t have Telstra internet anymore. Not that Telstra want to maintain the Bigpond addresses either - it’s a legacy system they are still operating only because of old people who refuse to leave!

The other thing she did was create a joint email for her and my Dad (which I don’t think he ever would have looked at himself anyway, but his name was in the address). I guess that’s a transfer from how landlines would be for a household and not an individual and the email address was looked at the same way.

Then there’s me, with lots of email addresses for different things (especially banking and secure things, they get a unique email that is used nowhere else). Plus most business dealings I create an alias address, so if the business leaks it I can tell exactly where it came from.
