My gmail gets 1900 spam messages each month

Just checked my gmail. Can you believe that? 1900 spam emails? Cripes!

You should have a second address you use for signing up for crap. Use your main email address only to give your friends.

Google will automatically dump your spam from the Spam folder after something like 30 days, and doesn't count it towards your space usage, so it's pretty harmless, except for the few that slip through and reach your main inbox. Two or three slip through Google's Spam folder defenses and into my inbox daily; I just ignore the Spam folder.

Well, that explains it. I've had mine for two years and it's tied to several accounts of mine in different places, plus my personal website...

I signed up for one of those free giveaways once and never followed up. They're all repeats of the same damn thing.

I average only 1-2 spams a day through Gmail. My old AOL account got at least half a dozen.

Gmail is the best account I have had so far, thanks Jeff for the invite!

1900 is an awful lot for a personal email address, either someone has it on a lot of distribution lists or it's a very common combination of words....lucky you

Do you reply to a lot of forwards from other people?
