Fark labels that as "obvious"

My Yahoo email is so overrun at this point I'll be setting up my Gmail and handing it out to friends only and continuing to use Yahoo to sign up for things since it's fubar'd anyhow.

Yahoo doesn't have very good spam protection.

hotmail > all

I get maybe 1 spam mail a month.

um its actually the exact opposite, my hotmail one gets around 100 junk mail in a day or so and my Yahoo gets 0. Has hotmail gotten any better? I mean its been like 3 years since I actually used it because I got so pissed off at all the crap.

They are about the same. Junk mail, for me, increased exponentially with both. I had to shut down my Hotmail account for it.

I've used Mail.com, yahoo, and hotmail in the past. Mail.com owns. 0 spam, for me anyway.

Well I think it depends, but I used to get zero spam on my yahoo account, then I got a ton because of a desperate night of pron-searching. Then I blocked all the email accounts from the pron people and I'm back to zero. I like Yahoo mainly because its a nicer place to look at than hotmail and mail.com.

Hotmail is blow.

i'd trade gohan for a gmail invite. [email protected] Remember that is [email protected]

yahoo mail has increased it's free storage size to 100 mb to prepare for google coming out wiht it's 1gb free email accounts. google is in it's beta phase right now though.

btw i have hotmail and yahoo, hotmail gets more spam in my opinion but not alot more

Geez, what a feeble attempt to counter Gmail. Do they really think that little improvement will keep entice that many people?

Jaged · 2004-06-16, 07:37 PM

This seems like a waste to me. Sure, 100mb is nice. They need to offer something that gmail does not though. Why get 100mb when you can 10 times that with gmail?

Why get email when you can sign away all your privacy rights just to have a g instead of an e.

Oh, you must be referring to all the talk about Gmail infringing on people's personal communications.
