Ditto.

I used Yahoo for so long, but I've been trying to migrate everything over to my GMail address. Still use both, but GMail is my primary. My Yahoo account probably get 1000+ SPAM messages a week, while GMail gets a small fraction of that.

Same here. Doesn't bother me a bit.

Actually my Gmail is the one that gets all the spam; I rarely use it as a result.

Before my ISP started farming out their email servers to Yahoo, I would get about 10 spam emails a week. After that I started to get 10 a DAY. Occasionally things go a little nuts and I get 30+ in a day. It makes me think that somewhere along the way, someone decided to sell the email lists.

Uh I get a lot more junkmail in Hotmail than I ever do in Yahoo.

And screw Gmail, I'll never use that. They read your messages to find out what kind of products to advertise to you. Along with bowing down to the China on the whole censorship thing.

I've probably had my yahoo account for 15 years now, and get a shit ton of spam. But it is probably due in part to the fact that I use it as my "junk" email address when I'm worried about the address being sold. It pretty much all goes right to the spam folder though.

I will say, however, that i HATE the new yahoo home page. Too much bullshit and lots of errors when trying to preview my mail.

To me, that's the telling point. Until recently I had 2 addresses that I used strictly for administrative reports from websites I created. The addresses were never used for anything else, and yet I got a ton of spam on them.
