Gmail for me too.
With it, for all practical effects SPAM is a non existent problem for me.

Darwin:
So, er, what do you do? Set up all your pop mail accounts to be filtered through GMail and then set your GMail account as the only incoming e-mail account through Outlook? Then use rules to sort from there?

Carol Haynes:
Yep - or use forwarders to pump email to the gmail account.

That's what I meant by

Set up all your pop mail accounts to be filtered through GMail

So far, Outlook 2007's Junk Filter is doing "all right" on my installation. Will definitely look at the GMail solution, though. It's free and it sounds ridiculously hands-off!

And besides all that, you get access to Gmail's awesome archiving/search features. I can't tell you how many times I suddenly remembered a topic of conversation (either via GTalk IM or e-mail) from several months or even years ago and wanted to find that link or file or whatever. It only takes a few searches at most before I find it.

Also just the way that e-mails are organized into conversations (almost like a forum thread) make following a particular topics so easy. Gmail just rocks!
