Please use a personal email. My email is ‘mail’ @ ‘my actual name’. It does not get more personal than that

But you can’t use emails starting with mail@, admin@, support@, info@, main@, etc.

Instead they advised me (3 times) to create a personal email on a service like Yahoo, Outlook, Gmail, Orange, etc

    They’re advising you to use a personal email that is tied more directly to your name or identity, like using Yahoo Mail, Outlook, or Gmail, which they view as more personalized.

    If you’d like, you could try creating an email address with your actual name (or a variation) on one of the recommended services, like: yourname@gmail.com yourname@yahoo.com This should resolve the issue

    This is a feature, not a bug. The rest of us don’t want crap being sent to admin email addresses, so fix your damn email and try again.

    Personally I use generated email addresses to most places, but my personal address is <FIRST>@<LAST>.us

      The email i was trying to use was mail@ my actual name and surname.

      It is very handy to share and easy for people to remember.

      I dont feel that it needs fixing when it is perfect for me and my needs but not for some company that needs to be overly careful
