I haven't used Hotmail for like a decade. I once checked my old Hotmail inbox, and it was full with 5000+ spam mail. I hit "delete all" without checking anything, and never looked back.

I had two email addresses I'd give when I knew the address would end up on a sales list somewhere. My hotmail one was one of them. Now I'll have to find another site to register for spam. :P

really? i pretty regularly use mine ...and... zero "0" spam ???? who knows?

[the-rukh.livejournal.com]

Well I used mine specifically for spam- meaning that if I was registering for anything I knew would probably end up on a list somewhere, that's the one I got. So I fully expected spam there.

while "outlook" does sound more optimistic, it doesn't sound as hot/sexy as hotmail does it? :(( lol
