Odd. Mine was at 3000+ earlier, and now it's at 2053. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 2, 13:57
I rarely get any in my MojaveMeg account, and very few in my 'personal' account. - MojaveMeg Mar 2, 13:45
I don't think mine has ever hit 100. I clean it out constantly. -- nm - TFox Mar 2, 13:39 4
- I used to, then I realized it's not counted as part of my disk space. -- nm - loosilu Mar 2, 13:44
- Really? I mostly ignore mine -- nm - oblique Mar 2, 13:41 2
  - I don't like it being in bold font, implying action is needed. So I go in and clean it out. - TFox Mar 2, 13:44
  - mm hmm -- nm - jingoist pixie Mar 2, 13:42
I just checked my most-spammed account: 1368. -- nm - b. Mar 2, 13:35 10
- What is it normally at? -- nm - oblique Mar 2, 13:39 1
  - about that, I think. -- nm - b. Mar 2, 13:42

  - the 'fun' there is that I've given out that address the least of any I use regularly. -- nm - b. Mar 2, 13:39 6
    - Ever since I switched to gmail, I don't care where my email address gets out to. Gmail rocks at stopping spam and if I'm really curious about where - oblique Mar 2, 13:40 5
      - For some reason, adding that to some registration sites won't let it go through for me. It says invalid email address, which pisses me off. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 2, 13:58 1
        
        Yes, that occurs when people filter email addresses based on incorrect assumptions about the email RFC -- nm - Beryllium Mar 2, 13:59
      - fwiw, my aol (shutup) addresses get less spam than my gmail ones. -- nm - b. Mar 2, 13:45 1
        
        I very rarely have any spam make it into my inbox ... but in the last two months, four messages have eeked through. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 2, 13:46
