Best e-mail account?

Wee_Bargain_Hunter

Can anyone help me. I want to use Freecycle and/or Craigslist, possibly buy/sell on e-bay as well but don't want any problems with spam or nasty people. (I'm just having a spring clean at home - nothing dodgy!)
What's a good e-mail account to have or should I have several? Don't you have to give an existing address before you get a new one?
Thanks

Thanks for the tip but what do you mean by, No spam?

their spam filter is one of the best, almost nothing gets through to my inbox ever

more flexible than hotmail as well, can be collected using outlook express etc or web mail

i prefer the googlemail account. much better/flexible than hotmail

Another vote for Googlemail. I use it through Outlook and I never get spam.

I agree too - google is the best

Thanks for the replies. Should I get 2 google accounts then? One for selling/giving & one for personal stuff?

Browntoa

why not...;)

i use one account for freebies and the other for personal emails.

i have set it up so that every time i get an email in the freebies account it forwards the mail to my main account
