googlemail has a really good spam filter, on the odd occasion I look in the spam folder I'm amazed how much is in there! Hardly any gets through, when I had a virgin.net or hotmail account used to get sooo annoyed!

No, not spam proof but it does a pretty good job.

Sometimes puts valid mail in the spam folder and the odd bit of spam does appear in the inbox, but better than most other services and software I've used, and free.

I have a few GMail accounts, just checked them and there's about 60,000 items in the inboxes, perhaps 2 in 3 unread at the moment (have had the accounts since 2005, and get quite a bit of incoming mail).

Junkmail is my pet peeve. Virgin media are worst offenders, I save it and send it all back(no stamp) as well as all my other junk mail just to punish them. They keep coming back for more though.
