I did. Got one spam in a month in one, 2 in the other. It's building but still not insane. As for gmail, I spend up to 4 hours at a time trying to delete it all without deleting something important. It comes in faster than I can delete it, as I intended to drop gmail as soon as I got what I needed. I have been working on that for months. With minor progress. But I have other things to do. And cut the profanity. All it does is discredit you. I don't take anyone seriously who needs to use profanity to prove a point.

Yes, but have you never received an email from an email address you recognize as a friend only to find that it’s some spamming message?

Email address hijacking is not uncommon, so simply trusting any email from an address in your contact list by itself is not a sufficient approach.

gmail needs a few antispam labs choices.

A user controlled SpamAssassin lab for gmail would be sublime.

Also allow user controlled filters for MTA rejection.

Lastly add to gmail filer actioins “mark as spam”.

We need permission based emailing.

ie: The first time someone emails you they receive a link to a form. On that form they fill out their identification and a captcha and *request* access to your inbox.

After that they are allowed to email you.

You only receive requests for access from people who go to the page and fill out the form. This is a huge roadblock for spammers.

I too am fed up with all the profanity on the web. Why not use it as a place to practice manners? Furthermore, when I am told I’m getting the best spam filter, then I expect the best spam filter. Free or not, I pay because I can’t get any work done, and can’t find important emails for months. I intend to try another email service. But months of deleting hasn’t enabled me to clear out the gmail account. The problem is too big.
