Is that the kind of email account where you can only make one account, or you have one account that everybody knows so it would be a big hassle to switch accounts?

The first email address I ever made is so loaded down with spam I barely check it any longer. I think it's because I gave used it to register at so many places. At that time, never occurred to me that disreputable sites will give our your email to people who want to phish you or sell you pills illegally, but now I have a couple of accounts (at yahoo) for whatever it is I want to do on the internet, and just one for business and social purposes. Because I only give it to people and organizations I trust and have known personally, I haven't gotten much spam on the business account.

Now, for I have absolutely no idea what you have or haven't done with your account, so for all I know this whole post was completely useless to you, and if so, I apologize for wasting your time (and I hope I haven't insulted you.) But this is what's worked for me, for the most part. I've never found a way to stop these guys, but at least one can keep them from spamming up the account that one is going to get important mail in. (Or I hope one can!)
