Your junk mail doesn't depend upon which email you use but rather how often you give out your email address. No matter what email service you use you will get junk mail if you use your email address to sign up for things online. Companies sell your email address to other companies and they put you on mailing lists, so when you sign up for something or submit your email address for something, most of the time you are giving your email to several companies. I would suggest to have an email for your personal use, one address that you don't give out to anyone besides your friends and family and any trusted sites you may use. Then use the one you have now as your junk email address, use that email when signing up for things. I have one email I use to sign up for things, or when websites ask for an email address I give them that one, then I have another that is just for family and personal emails, I haven't used it to sign up for anything and I haven't gotten one piece of junk mail or spam yet. (It's a hotmail account)
I hope this advice helps. Best Wishes :-)

if you are tired of the junk mail, just sign up for Hotmail, Hotmail is the only one that has an option that basicly you can only except e-mail in your inbox, as long as these e-mail are in your address book. anything e-mail address that is not in your address book will go into the junk mail folder.
Hope that helped. let me know if you have any questions if you can't find that option.

Lycos Mail. Their spam filter is the best by far, but you can also set up a white list and can also opt to only receive mail from known contacts.
Btwn that, the 3GB storage(beats even gmail), and unlimited attachment size (great for posting large graphics files) and you have a hands-down winner :)

Outlook express. This way you have control on who sends you things. When you get junk mail you can block them.
