I get maybe 1 - 2 spam messages a day, and I've had this email address for two years. Not too bad, considering it IS hotmail.

Hotmail works fine for me. Just use OE to check it and then save your messages to local folders.

The only SPAM I have received so far are from Hotmail, MSN and McAfee.

My Yahoo email account on the other hand receives at least 15 a day :(

People only use it because its too hard to change, or for a spam account.

I agree, which is why I use it for a spam account. :)

And it gets about 50-75 spam mails a day.

Hotmail does what i want it to perfectly. it's my catchall email address. i get almost ZERO spam with my other email addresses because of my hotmail address. i have NO complaints with hotmail.


Waynetek, btw, if you want to store emails from Hotmail account, set it up in outlook express. than you can transfer the emails you want to keep to your HD.

other than that, i find it foolish that you blame hotmail because you don't know how to work within their limitations.
