What About Free Email Providers?

Some free email service providers have some pretty good blockers services to accommodate you a bit better. My favorite is the free version of Hotmail provided by msn. Dont get me wrong, plenty of the free email service providers are trying to get on top of the spam epidemic.
With this free email service, you can set up your account to keep only your personal contacts in your email inbox. The rest of the emails automatically go to a junk mail folder that you can check out at your own time. If you dont check them within seven days, they are automatically deleted.
The msn messenger, which is used to send instant messages to people, can be checked by right clicking the messenger icon. If you have received email from your contacts it will show you and you can go directly to your inbox by left clicking the messages text. If you have junk mail it doesnt show up. It is perfect.
Of course your junk mail section can still receive spam, but now it is at your own leisure that you check them out. Yahoo has a similar system, but with the Yahoo messenger instead. This method is not fool proof, but it is still pretty good if you dont want to spend the extra money for new software.
Free email providers like Yahoo and MSN are very good providers because they are very intent on keeping spam out of your inbox. They are just as interested in protecting your account as you are because they want you to use them as your primary email address. Yahoo even has its very own site for you to look up that includes information about spam. To get this information see http://www.yahoo.com/spam
Most of the free email service providers have similar filters as MSN. They let you control the accepted content, which is exactly what I would advise you to have. They let you decide which mail to let through. MSN Hotmail is currently allowing you to combine the filtering system with a mail washer in their free version. This is how they plan to help you protect yourself from viruses and such; which is great for a free service.

Disposable Email Addresses
Disposable email addresses are a great way to deal with spam. It basically works like this; it is an email address that is generally deletes itself when it finds that it attracts too much spam. Its a low cost way to not have to deal with it at all. The email deals with it for you. Ive enclosed a list of free versions of disposable emails.

They are worth mentioning more than once. Of course, once you open these emails, you realize very quickly that they are not from your friends, but advertisements. These types of spammers use hacking to get into your password. There is usually a box that you can check if you do not wish to receive emails from the company or its affiliates. Sometimes spammers will get your attention by making the email look like it has been forwarded to you. It is natural for you to want to click on the link at the bottom of the email that promises that you can be taken off of their email list, but do not think for a second that this is what happens.

They count on the fact that most people do not read all the way through them. Believe it or not, spammers can access your inner email by using your profile and homepage information to access a password. You see, they will let you have their software under the strict regulation that you leave yourself open to receiving updates and notifications about their products. Since the advertisers are paying for their pop-ups, you get a break on the cost of using them as an ISP. What this does, is forces anybody that you have not already cleared to email you to fill out a short form or click a special link in order for their email to go through. The average person can expect to receive anywhere from ten to twenty spams a day in their inbox; depending on how many promos and registrations they fill out.
