My email provider, Runbox, doesn't seem to think fucking captchas are necessary. There isn't a single one in sight anywhere on their pages and services. How come?
Capchas are often hidden, only bothering the user when they're not suspected to be a human. Popularity might also play a role. I've personally never heard of Runbox, maybe they're not big enough to attract bots? Also possible that they're a paid email provider?
