Yeah the amount of spam I get is unbelievable with my hotmail account that I have had for quite a few years now I have around about 2000 unread emails all spam, I just can't be bothered to spend each day deleting them!

Yowtch, that's a huge amount of spam. Is that per month? Hope all that spam isn't adult content, ahem

They should be put in prison... I get so much junk mail everyday and yes most of it is about buying that little blue pill.

Yeah, and if it's not that, it's replica watches. Someone must be opening them and clicking on links, or it'd be worthless. I always wonder how they make any money because everyone hates spam so much. The Google Mail spam filter is amazing, though. I never get any spam in my inbox.

Yeah the Google Mail spam filter is so efficient that I now get NO email coming into my mailbox at all!

tbh, I find spam filtering services to be a bit hit and miss, so never enable it with my email accounts. Instead I am forced to check my email daily, so I only have to sort through say 20 spam mails, rather than 100's!
