How much spam do you get a week?

[hbdragon88]

Yes, this includes spam in your "bulk mail folder," not just spam mail in your inbox.

I receive 1-2 pieces of spam a week in my inbox folder.

I haven't acutally counted, but I receive anywhere from 300-400 pieces of spam a week in my bulk mail box.

I suppose that what happens when 1) I've been using my email for almost four years now (registered on May 31, 2001) and 2) I have had my email address, for three years, open and uncoded (easy for spam bots to pick up on).

 

[ummmm........]

My gmail account gets maybe one or two a week (ads from companies I have purchased from before, like Amazon and Teva. That counts, right?)

My hotmail gets maybe 10 a week, always in bulk mail (yay whitelist!)

My yahoo is the one I use when I'm registering for something that I never plan on getting email from (like here) and it gets probably 80 or so a week.

Not that many anymore. I've used Hotmail since 2000 and at one point I got like 10-20 a day but that has diminished when I started using the block sender list.

I only get something into my hotmail account I think, none in gmail nor mbnet...

hotmail makes spam even more annoying: when it's in the spam folder I can't even delete it... it justs sits there taking space... I had yesterday 19 spam posts (including the ones the msn admins send) and 97% of the space was taken with all other boxes empty..

Not that I would use hotmail for anything else than messenger.

I have no idea of the total amount per week, propably like 20 or so, as it deletes them every five days... no, every spam more than five days old...

 

[ummmm........]

That's weird. I've never had any trouble emptying my junk mail folder at hotmail. Had lots of other problems, but never that one.

 

[Neomega]

I have never had a problem with spam. I have never signed up for anything.

Oh, wait, I thought it was in total (voted >500). Well bulk mail's currently at 3,600 or so, and it gets emptied every three months, so it's almost right.

 

[Blackbird_SR-71]

i use gmail and i used to get some spam but for the past three months i haven't got one single junk email

 

[Guardsman Kerby]

Nearly 500 on my my old Yahoo! Mail and none with GMail, and thank god, because it was driving me mad, most of its advertising drugs, sex things and free DVDs etc.

 

[The Person]

99.99 percent of my spam is in my bulk mail folder. I hardly ever get any spam in my inbox. Last time I checked I had 5 spam mails in my bulk mail folder, and that's a personal record. (I gotta check my mail more often than once a week...)

 

[Zydiax]

I don't get a lot of spam nowadays.
On my first hotmail-account however, I'm sure I got at least 50 per week.
I think that was because someone else had been using that address before me.

 

[MarineCorps]

about 150 a week. Mostly in my yahoo account. Which is my spam account

 

[Perfection]

About a 100 or so emails per day.

 

[Babbler]

About a 100 or so emails per day.

What ever happen to professional courtesy?

I get around 10-15 junk email, which only a guessmate, since I don't check my email often.

When I was a newbie back in the middle ages (ie late 90's), sign stuff up with my mother main email address. Bad move ... I had to change the address.

 

[Paalikles]

3-4 per day* => under 100 per week


*=most of the spam is filtered to be auto-deleted off mailserver if certain conditions apply, so I suspect real spam count is higher.

 

[Thrawn]

I get very little, almost none.

 

[Quentin]

I get very little spam on my hotmail account and none on my gmail account.
My yahoo account which I use to sign up for porn-related stuff is flooded with spam. Some of the subjects on those spam are so ridiculous they are actually amusing at times .

EDIT: I just checked and the spam with the weird subjects seem to have stopped coming in.

 

[puglover]

None

I have my own email account, in addition to my family email and my brother's email. My brother's is LOADED with spam for some reason. The family one gets some spam too, but not too much.

I get no spam!

 

[Silverflame]

I'm getting around 20 or so a week, all from colleges.

 

[ybbor]

probably 15-20 a week

there should have been an option for under 50
