hmm...i have 90 gmail invites :P

um. gmail spam filter works because
1. it uses a google style filter
2. gmail is rather new, so theres less spam anyways
3. all spam are reported to gmail automatically, unlike hotmail, which you have to report personally.

I use hotmail as my everyday email, Like Rory says its easy and in MSN Messanger, I use it because I use gmail to get passwords to my forums and stuff.

I've never had a single spam since using gmail, my hotmail account however is reaching nearly 75% of it's storage because of SPAM and out of all that's there, there are only 16 e-mails from friends. :r

Hotmail = pewp

I do use MSN messenger via trilly because it's the most common one people use so with AIM and ICQ people can always get in touch with me.

Edit: sodding spelling >_<

in the time that i use it, dunno how long that is though, i have had ZERO spam messages, while i get multiple a day at hotmail.

problem with MSN is that my friends use it, so it won't do me much good if i use AIM or YIM or anything :/ .

I have several hotmail accounts, none get spam if you don't tick the boxes to share your address with the address book, etc... I have a Yahoo account which I use to collect spam, any registrations online, I give my yahoo address. I have a Gmail account and 50 invites too :D

The day after I signed up with crappy Hotmail, I got tons of spam for porn and XXX-rated things. Now that was a bad start. I had to turn my spam filters to friends only, and to this day still have them set as max, I don't dare turn them down. I tried to one day, and got the same thing the next day.
Not sent by geniune people at all, I ticked all the Data Protection boxes and stuff.

And the banner ads are so annoying, they slow the whole damn thing down to a crawl.

So it's spam-ridden and advert-ridden. Nice :rolleyes:
