Just make another account and only use it for personal uses. I keep 2 emails addresses, and one i use for my address when i sign up to certain services on websites and such, just to make sure the SPAM gets to that one, and not my other account.
I have made new hotmail accounts but they eventually fill up with spam. I have that very set up, one account for spam, the other for personal. But unfortunately, the personals get alot of spam within months. Not just 1-2 spam mail per day more like 10+ per day!
Heh, that is a lot. Well, one that I use is www.myownemail.com and they have a bunch of domain names, but I think you only get 1MB of space. But, it is a pretty neat email service. You might want to try it out.
I just use Yahoo mail. As long as you're not signing up for all sorts of random stuff on the internet it should be fine.
Just go to Yahoo or Google and type in "Free e-mail hosts"
