Gmail. I'm done.
Excellent spam filtering, good UI, lots of space, no BS. |

I have multi yahoo accounts for crap; I use gmail for private.
Gmail gets no spam, only because i use it for receiving mail from just people i know not signing up on some bulletin board. |

Same for when your email is part of a distribution list so now everyone has your email addy and the chance of getting spam multiplies. |

I have a similar situation. My Yahoo mail account is my "public" account. I use that for almost everything.
However, for close friends and family, I use my GMail account. Now my GMail account has gotten spammed. (Easy to guess address most likely.) GMail, though, traps most of these spams before I even see them. Only once or twice will a spam slip through. (Usually as spammers shift tactics and just before Google's filters catch up.) |

Re: Gmail
Well designed interface definitely! I agree with your description of Gmail but another issue of this whole article is integrity. While those ISPs earn money to pass email on to you, Google's servers scan your incoming email and search terms to deliver 'more relavent' ads to you to make $$$. Greed is the root here and most other places so this shouldn't be a huge surprise. |
