I personally use Hotmail and Yahoo accounts and reccomend them to all the people I talk to. The hotmail is my main account that I give to anyone and everything (I expect spam in it, and it has a very good filtering system). Then I use my Yahoo account for friends and family (this account very rarely recieves spam). I hardly use my ISP's e-mail. By using this system, I don't have to worry about my ISP being sold and then having to go through the aggravation of changeing e-mails and also when/if I change ISP's, no worry about giving everyone my e-mail addy. Another big advantage with this, is since both Hotmail and Yahoo have virus protection, I've never recived a virus through them (or have been able to trace a virus back to them). The only problem that has arised, is there's been 3 times that my hotmail account has been "stolen" by me not paying attention to what I was doing and giving my ID with password out through e-mails to "verify my account", but surprisingly by talking to M$'s support through e-mail, I've recived control of the account back. I've been using this system for years now.
