Or even better, use a yahoo.com mail account as a second account. That way if any junk gets through, it can be sorted for you easily.
:D

Minwah:

Forgetting it's faults Hotmail saves me a ton of trouble - no viruses (yet) and the junk filter is pretty good.  I don't even use any other account for personal use.

Jakobud:

PEOPLE!  Just stop using IE and Outlook / Express and you don't have to worry about it.  Look toward Mozilla and you will be safe.

Trimoor:

I use mozilla/firefox for a browser, but mozilla email wont import my outlook settings. (it keeps crashing)

Plus, my mother would be frightened by yet another mysterious application.

I can create infinate *@trimoor.com accounts, so I can kill one off if it gets too much crap.

Trimoor,

One handy way to keep bots from obtaining your e-mail is to make a small GIF or JPG of your e-mail address.  Then just insert it on the page wherever you would normally have typed your e-mail address.  It'll be a minor inconvenience for anybody who wants to truly e-mail you to type it out by hand.
