your favorite,,,gmai, yahoo mail, or hot mail?

Gmail.
I have had other email addresses from the other places in the past but I just let them run dormant as they eventually get too much spam etc. Gmail I plan on keeping.

When GMail changed their privacy laws on March 1st, my Spam folder went from Zero to 7-8 per day.

Yesterday I took the first step to lessening the Spam folder. If you have GMail's "New Look", there's a wide, white search info bar at the top. On the ride side you will a very small arrow pointing downward. Click on it fo find ways to eliminate the spam.

Half of my spam was from 'interestwinterdotcom" I put that address in on that options page where it says (from) - along with my email address in another box there that says (to). There is an option there to delete those email senders. Click on it and my spam folder was empty this morning -- first time since March 1st.

Hotmail, Yahoo and Gmail.

Hotmail for personal stuff and Yahoo for any kind of correspondence with online orders, credit cards, etc. My Gmail account was created but never used, kept mostly for novelty in case I ever need it.

Personally, I don't like Gmail's web interface at all (too much stuff going on, too many unnecessary services available to you, etc.). I prefer Yahoo's older one which I've been able to keep. I use Live Mail for my Hotmail so I don't even know what it's like to get my mail from their web interface.

Spam on Yahoo has gone way up recently, but I think that's more of a case of me doing business with a few new online retailers and signing up for rebates. Would be nice if their filters caught it, though.

Fastmail for business.

Hotmail, but I've been tinkering on an idea to make my own email server, just so I can have an awesome email address.

I've had my Yahoo email address for 13 years.

about the same for me since 1998...my Yahoo mail has never been hacked...I use it all the time...never behaved strange either...what happens when it first gets hacked just so what I know what to look for?

Anyone with a gmail account realize they can make alias addresses to control stuff via the filters.

For example I have [email protected]

You can give out the address [email protected] or [email protected] and they both work without any configuration. I use a filter with these to then apply the proper label to keep stuff straight in there.

I've used [censored] near all of them

And always find myself coming back to Gmail

It's just soooo easy to use, simple.

You'll know when all on your list write you asking why you are sending them discount Viagra prices/sites.
