Hello, thanks to Brucine for his answer; I think he has found the cause. But that means that with every ISP change, you have to change your email address. And inform all the contacts (family, administrations, various sites, shops, etc.) What a lot of work!

Or perhaps have one or more addresses independent of ISPs, what would you advise me? Because if FREE, which I left years ago, does the same thing to me...

Or is there an ISP that maintains the address even if you are no longer a customer? In any case, commercially, it is not great, and I would not go back to Orange just for that. It’s true that at 78 years old I won’t be changing ten times again!!

Have a good day everyone and thanks to all who answered.

    Hello,

    Following the various topics opened regarding messaging services used simultaneously after operator changes, I doubt that the providers you previously mentioned are more tolerant of independent messaging services or VPN connections (your LBC issue).

    Indeed, those who proscribe multiple identities will block these new addresses.

    The solution would rather be to use a single address plus an address dedicated to blocking spam.

      Hello,

      It seems, with no certainty, that Free keeps its addresses for its former subscribers, but that does not solve the problem: Webmail is one thing, but nothing proves that such addresses are not also rejected in an email client for SMTP reasons.

      Nothing forbids using email addresses of the hotmail or Gmail type except that, here too, it seems to me that a number of providers reject these “volatile” addresses because they are not backed by an ISP and because they are not convenient (two-factor authentication).

      One indeed normally does not change ISP every year, which reduces the burden of manipulations, and Georges97 is right: unless there are specific contexts (for example professional addresses), there is no point in having several addresses that only complicate life except at your operator: one official address and a junk one, for example for online sites.
