Email

Currently I use Tiscali as my ISP and use a Tiscali Email address.

Lately I have been swamped with Spam (any body looking for Viagra, I got all the emails you could ever need).

I have been looking on the net for different Email providers and the one that has caught my eye is GMX (https://mail-eu.gmx.com/gb/cgi/g.fcgi/home).

Has anyone used this service? Or anybody care to suggest another Email Provider.

Cheers

just use a spam stopper, most email providers use some form where u can stop certain words.

I must admit, there's nothing wrong with the Hotmail Spam stopper. If you post your e-mail address in your profile on OLBG which I have done, sometimes you get people trying the old Pyramid System, or trying to sell you their systems, but that doesn't bother me as even Hotmail can block out quite a few of these, although I never can never understand that no matter what type of e-mail account I sign up for I always seem to get e-mails asking if I want to enlarge my breasts by two cup sizes Laughing

...

I think a couple of ppl have added me on MSN as well, which could be an ear-ache to them if I ever sign in, rant rant rant Laughing

But all in all, I would actually recommed Hotmail, Win

im quite lucky, my jugs are perfectly sized. also i just use a ruler in place of viagra and everyone is happy. i rule! references guaranteed!

u just gotta refine yer spam stopper and ull be sorted. might take while to sort the exact spam u get, remember to block similar keywords to wot u actually receive.

johnnyfp - I use tiscali too but payed the few quid extra for their spam stopper. It stops most of the rubbish getting through except for the Holy Grail betting system emails, but I always enjoy those ones.

Try paying the extra before going through the hassle of changing suppliers Wink

Thanks for the replies.

I don't like the idea of paying Tiscali any more dosh.

I use Thunderbird as my mail system - and the spam filter works fine, bit it still has to download the 50+ items of rubbish before it can be filtered.

I think I will give GMX a go and see if this helps.

Perhaps try Gmail, always seems to catch spam.

Microsoft Office 2007 comes with the new version of Outlook. That stops all my sick viagra messages coming into my inbox and works a treat. Win
