Gotta say, g-mail recieves quiet some spam too (of course nothing tops Yahoo) but hey, at least they actually fall into the Junk folder!
Gmail FTW! |

Exactly. It's the only filter that I've seen work perfectly 100% of the time. |

It's not quite perfect, but I would have to say 99% for sure.
I get about 800 (a very rough guess :p ) spams a month, and maybe 3 or 4 make it into my inbox?
But the email threading ing kicks ass bigtime. Even if it miss-threads stuff now and then... |

the real annoying spam can't be unsubscribed to because it's sent illegally, by unscrupulous people with automated software that sends thousands of these emails to lists that they've acquired or have been given. You could use spambob.net but you need to get a new email address and use aliases, never divulging your true address even to your sister. I mean especially your sister or any noob who sends you free email birthday cards. |
I know... but these e-mails are actually sent by a very big company. Imagine Times Magazine sending you spam - that's what's happening :p
(And I didn't know spambob, thanks for the hint, I'm going to take a look at it :)) |

1.) Use whatever e-mail provider you want... out of the "big ones", it hardly matters as far as spam is concerned.
2.) Sign up for a junk e-mail account at hotmail or wherever is easily accessible. I have one called [email protected], which I use for signing up for anything that I know is going to give me junk mail. I don't care, it's my crap address which only exists when I need "e-mail activation" or something similar.
2b.) Alternatively, use http://www.10minutemail.com for these features.
3.) Only give your e-mail address to people you trust, etc. Don't ever post your e-mail address on forums and such, like I did above. Unless it's a junk one, like above.
4.) Unsubscribing only serves to prove that the e-mail account is active (unless it's from a legit company, etc.) |
