OT: Email
 

Well with my university email account probably due for wiping as I'm not studying there any more I'm looking for a new email provider. The one my ISP provides is awful for a variety of reasons so they're out, as are hotmail/yahoo due to spam.

Any recommendations? Free and half decent spam filters would be good.

PM me a working email addy and I'll send you a Gmail invite

I like Fastmail myself: at the free level, you have 10 mb of storage, 40mb of bandwidth (monthly), and IMAP support from your mail program. There spam filter seems to be half decent, near as I can tell.

Sorry, I do my own on my own machine. Kinda fun being able to have any login I can think of without finding it already in use.

Gmail is good; 2 gigabytes(!) of storage (yes, you can store multiple complete mods in your inbox if you would want to!), good spam filter, etc.

I'd say the same as Thermodyne did, only Thermodyne said it first.

I have a Yahoo mail account and have not gotten spam on it. Of course, I have not given out the email to anybody, but there is no generic spam for it so far.

By the way, am I the only one who fails to get the point of having a huge storage space? (From the 250 mb Yahoo offers to those 2gb of Gmail) It still won't allow me to store more than six months worth of mails, and I don't see why I would have more than a couple of mb of mails stored at any given time.

Another mail provider I like is Gawab: no generic spam, POP3 and SMTP support from your mail program, and free. If you would rather browse your mail via a webmail, you can choose to get those huge storage spaces instead (1gb, perhaps 2gb, I haven't checked lately).

You can use the Gmail space as file storage too.
