Community Power UserIt can be challenging to switch if you've been using Telus mail as your main email for over a decade. Gmail didn't even exist when we signed up with Telus. My wife is self employed and getting all her contacts to use the new email address can be challenging (autocomplete can be your enemy). The converse is that she's had issues in the past with Telus email being blocked by 3rd party spam filters and she's not informed when this happens. I've complained to Telus about this and their response was to use another email system. As a mail administrator I was appalled as they should be returning NDR messages to senders in the event of a failure.
As for Gmail there is this:

I do have a second account with Microsoft as they don't do some of the things that Google does with regard to data mining.
I agree - I had Telus webmail for over a decade, and notifying all of my contacts of my new address, was daunting to say the least.
I had also experienced third parties blocking the Telus server - Even more reason to seek another email tool. I've had no problems with gmail, so far.
As I had mentioned, I love Telus - It's just the webmail that I no longer utilize.
Thanks.
