I rarely use Hotmail as an email address, only really to log in to MSN.

I do sometimes use my Yahoo account though, especially for signing up on certain sites that I think might send me copious amounts of spam.

I use Yahoo UK as a spam catcher.

Every couple of weeks I log in to it, empty the crap, answer the odd good mail that finds me there and then off we go again!

I do the same as Joe but with HotMail as the spam repository and a login for PassPort. I keep the ISP-provided e-mail solely for friends and trusted companies.

I've been with Hotmail for years for email - I paid to register my email (well sought after name) and it's my primary email facility.

I've also got a Hotmail account for the pub (until I finally get the website off the ground).

I have an office job email too which is purely for the office job.

Hotmail bugs me when they change their layout (it annoys me too when I delete a message and instead of it going straight to the next message I end up looking at an old one that I'm saving...I've then got to go back to the inbox to choose the next message to read), but other than that I like Hotmail.

I have a Hotmail and a Yahoo Account and people E-Mail both to spread out the storage left as it were. The 2MB on Hotmail would get filled in around 2 days with me. The 6MB took about a week to fill. Now Yahoo has 100MB Inboxes it's much better - only used 2% of it.

Google's is (so far) a lot cleaner and nicer to use than hotmail, I'll probably get rid of my hotmail altogether soon!

I use my Yahoo! for normal email, Hotmail for MSN, and I signed up for rosie@vampyres.com ages ago. Great email addy but I can't be arsed to tell everybody I'm changing, and I can't keep my address book, old emails, etc there.

My sisters got one @ilovellamas.com!

Probably because they are about to get big competition from an innotive (but controversial) new google email system...
