Pyro Posted October 3, 2002 Author Share Posted October 3, 2002 Well there is one problem i think there might be some important things i signed up for under that email account like my host and domain but i dont have the time to look through 1000 emails :x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evolution Posted October 3, 2002 Share Posted October 3, 2002 The trick is to .... not use hotmail :p Except for msn messenger ike you said :) ... or maybe you can signup for an @msn.com hotmail account, and perhaps you won't recieve any junk mail :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Dorr Veteran Posted October 3, 2002 Veteran Share Posted October 3, 2002 hmmm... this reminds me of an experiment I've always wanted to try, but never did. Basically, I get a hotmail account, and post that address in ONE place on the web. Anywhere will do. And see how much spam you get in a month :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And see how much spam you get in a month :D Or you can try the real experiment :p Don't post anywhere on the net, and about in a week you'll find yourself with junk mail, even though you haven't used you account :p Then the amount will start to increase exponetially until you have a fit :p Ah free web email :) Could life get any better :) ? YES! Perhaps you should get a pop-3 account instead :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulstorm Posted October 4, 2002 Share Posted October 4, 2002 My hotmail.com accounts get dragged through the mud...but my @msn.com accounts have Brightmail (and MSN 8 Junk Mail AI) protection. MSN Hotmail v9.06 coming first week in November I believe will bring Brightmail protection to all MSN mail accounts finally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
