Spam filtering
I have been getting lots of spam emails at work lately, much more than I got from my Yahoo address and my Gmail address. After talking to our NT support people, I got to appreciate a lot more on my 'free' email services provided by Yahoo and Google.
I had my yahoo email address for about 11 years now, and gmail for over a year. And I don't actively delete my spam folder, even though occasionally I visit that folder to make sure there are no victims (so far I have to say they both did a wonderful job).
As of today, I have 2403 mails in my Yahoo spam folder, and 1725 mails under my Gmail Spam label (Google's term, similar to folder, but much easier to use, instead of moving them, you simply label them), with many of them were forwarded from my failure isp email address.
