Well you wouldnt would you cos g-mail is soooo much better, erm no, its jus tnot been around as long and there havent been so many gmail accounts harvested, all email will get spam at some point.. Just because its not a MS service doesnt automatically make it better/more secure...

I've had my hotmail account setup since it was pre MS and its amazing what you can do with the built in junk filters.....

I have to say, I never use my Gmail account to sign up to anything. i have a spam account for that but i still get LOADs of spam though Gmail.. difference is that Gmails spam filter is crackin and filters out every single bit of pap goin and i checked though all the spam to find no personal e-mails what so ever /love gmail tbh

The difference is that, as Kaine (AoD) points out, the gmail spam filters just work. No configuring, just works from the word go. Gmail is also much faster and easier to use, partly due to the much cleaner interface. It's main problem is that it relies too much on javascript, and does break every now and again...but this is not a huge problem

But back on topic - the thing with these hoax emails that gets me is why don't the hoaxers ever come up with an email that is believable - both in the story they give and thier presentation...
