So...how many email addresses do you have? If you have multiples, what/who do you use the various accounts for?
I have seven or eight (I think ) addresses: and couple on aol, one gmail, one hotmail, one sbs, and a couple of ones tied to websites I have (one that has me as "Steve", which I'm not...so I don't use it).
Obviously, some of those I don't use (since I can't even remember them), but five of them are currently active. One of my aol accounts I use for my eBay account, the other I use for my main email account for friends and the like.
I set up the hotmail account to correspond with one person when my aol emails were not getting to him. Since he's a business and well as personal contact, it was important for my emails to get through. He has a hotmail account, so I set up one as well and use that account to correspond with him only. Because I don't use that address for anything or anyone else, I get no spam.
The sbs account and one other account I use mostly for email lists. I tend to get a lot of spam on those accounts. I think I may drop these accounts and switch the email list subscriptions to my gmail account. Currently I'm not doing anything with that account, so maybe that would cut down on the spam a bit.
