Kramer 0 #3 December 8, 2003 I use Yahoo, I find it to be quite superior. -Kramer The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jb092 0 #4 December 8, 2003 I use hotmail and yahoo. The yahoo account seems to stop spam better then hotmail. I have had it for 4 years and dont get much of anything, the hotmail gets plastered with spam. I do have a second hotmail account that I use for online sites that require an email address (IE Games) and that one is full to the max size every other day with spam. IMHO yahoo is the best. What could possibly go wrong? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weegegirl 2 #5 December 8, 2003 Hey, goat. A-O-freakin'-L sux. Yo' parents be smart t' git rid o' it. I 'esploit Yahoo, but dat in no way mains they be da damn best. They have spam filta's, some aisy-t'-'esploit address book, an' quite some bit o' storage space. Howeva', they limit yo' ass t' trey attachments pa' email, which I find t' be tru-ly annoyin'.

Nightingale 0 #6 December 8, 2003 I use hotmail. love it. I like that you can set it on "exclusive" and only receive email from the folks in your address book. You can also have emails sort to different folders... all my DZ.com mail goes to one folder, personal mail to another, martialtalk.com mail to another one, etc... works GREAT.

The problem with exclusive is a friend of yours that is not in your address book wont get through to you. What could possibly go wrong? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightingale 0 #9 December 8, 2003 you just have to skim your junkmail every so often. Or, like me, keep your address book updated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jb092 0 #10 December 8, 2003 I do that, but if I dont know someones address I wont see the mail unless the subject line jumps out at me. Like I said the one hotmail account is so bad I have to empty the junk mail every-other day or the account shuts down. What could possibly go wrong?

PhreeZone 20 #14 December 8, 2003 I predict spam in that address by the end of the day...
