phew...
I read a recent test of email providers... hotmail security sucks, i.e. it is more or less inexistent. Hmmm... I still stick with my hotmail account though. Probably I am too lazy to redirect all my mail. And then it's my official email, for school stuff etc... *sigh* And I love my email addy there.

cozzo@hotmail.com = 1 of 2 'spam' accounts.

I use it for all the things you have to sign up for...

I've had my hotmail address for 2 or maybe even 3 years now. I recieve about 70 spam's per day. Most of those get deleted automatically but I still get 10 or so a day that make it past the filter.

I've had a hotmail address for 1.5 years now, and I never received a single piece of spam mail!

I wonder why, because I seem to be the only person like that. Maybe that is because I never surfed pr0n sites?

I have a diffrent hotmail account going on 3 years that's spam free. Maby that's cuz I don't use it.

I get 15 in a couple of hours though.

When something says "to sign up for this enter you email address..." it's automatically the @hotmail.com
