I use hotmail but I really hate the Spams. I would love to find a better email server (better junk filters) but I haven't found the time and it isn't on my high priority list. If anyone had recommendations, I'll be more than happy to get myself new email accounts.

I've been using Yahoo for a while, and I find that it works well (though I'm a bit disapointed that they took POP3 support out of the free version).

I would preferr to use a POP3 based account because i'd much rather do e-mail with Pegasus than with the web browser, but you got to live with what works, and Yahoo was good for when I wasn't on-line at home (I could access from just about anywhere).

I've even considered upgrading my Yahoo mail, it's something like $30 a year (or something) and gives a much larger inbox and supports POP3 (as well as getting rid of those ads at the bottom of the messages).

You couldn't get me to touch Hotmail with a 100ft pole.... Hotmail = MS .... Ashley can verify (maybe) that I almost didn't join CAA originally because I wasn't interested in being a part of MS's Passport technology... but y'all won my heart :D

My main e-mail accounts are Netzero and Hotmail. Hotmail obviously as a spam account, but not the original intent of it but it has a use still. Netzero works well enough for me. I haven't received any spam with this account, although I have been more careful with where I share my account also, so that makes a big difference too.

I use Japan.com. That works the best for me, it's related and uses mail.com. I also prefer yahoo way over hotmail. I couldn't ever send any pictures, or look at any with hotmail. I prefer mail.com.

I use .Mac, Earthlink, and my own server's email. Spam filtering and stuff doesn't really matter to me because Mail.app's spam filter is really good.
