its downsides, but its upsides are probably worth it. If MS would upgrade the spam filters that would be great

I've had it for about 4 years too (Reply to this comment)

And in the last year, the Spam came rolling in, in massive quantities. The best filter I found was to block, "delete" any email that "Really" didn't have my email name in the "To" section.

And yes those damn Enlargements. I wanna know who the heck is peeking.

Well, almost. I really like the "block address" feature that Yahoo has, but even with that I still get my share of hate mail and spam.

Great review... as usual.

Don't forget all those wonderful penis enlargement opportunities. Or the chance to earn a college degree online! Oh and I know Denise too! She sends me lots of mail. :)

Great review, as always. It appears that their is a tradeoff with the SPAM for the free email. Heck, I PAY for Mindspring, as it is my ISP, and I still get a bunch of SPAM (even though Mindspring "claims" to have a SPAMINATOR to filter out this sort of thing).
