Hmm interestingly I still do since it doesn't go away like after you switch ISPs which happens sometimes. I hate spam good lord I have my mailbox full of it and the only way to keep it down to about 5 a day (which I can bear) is with custom filters. Just stick in common words/phrases that you know is spam and the filter will do its job.

I, I think like most people, use it as a spam depository. "Please enter your email address"....OK....blahblahblah@hotmail.com.

Still use it occassionaly. I have it set up so only approved messages come through to the inbox and all spam is automatically deleted.

I got my account soon after it opened, when I don't have the spam set to autodelete, my bulk mail folder gets about 275 spams a day! :Q
