Yep, got this too.
Set myself up with a Mail Plus which costs like £11.00 a year and there are no adverts on your personal page.
The major feature I like about this is the address guard. You have your main email addy but you can use other addys for certain things. This has worked really well for me because with all the websites I have to give address to ... I just separated them all out into categories and gave them an email addy. That way I'll be able to easily delete and address if I get too much spam ... and the good thing is with having about only 10 sites to an address ... it will help identify where the spam comes from.
I remember in the beginning my server was Freeserve and then Wanadoo. They were great. All the years I had my real addy I never got one piece of spam. No one had my real address except Shadoe and all my mail was forwarded from a bl.com address.
Some time ago Orange took over and lo-and-behold it wasn't long after that I started getting spam at my real address ... so after I started getting more than 100 spams a day ... I joined Yahoo. So far, so good. And once again, no one has my real address, just a address guard one.
Well, I still have to go to my old Orange address to check it out ... mainly to keep the web mail site open ... if you don't use it for more than three months they'll block it and I'd have to call and get them to open it again for me.
Ah, well. I'm full of stuff today aren't I.
Well ... that is it for now. I must get back to my real work...
