I have had accounts with a few free email providers (hotmail, yahoo, gmail) and they ALL have good enough spam filters for me. Hotmail has a few different settings, the one I use puts all "suspected" spam into a junk email folder instead of my regular inbox. I can then look at the list of spam to make sure that nothing I actually wanted was put into that folder in error... I can click a button that says "this is not junk" and in the future it would deliver email from that sender to my inbox instead. You can also set it up to only deliver mail from people on a specific list to your inbox, and have everything else be junk. Or, for those people who like the free sex offers and penis enlargement ads, you can choose to not filter out anything, and receive it all in your inbox. The other 2 email accounts i have had (with yahoo and gmail) also seem to do well, but I don't have the experience with them that I do with hotmail. They seem to be good though, as I haven't had any junk yet. My best advice? Try one out. Worst case, you stop using it... you didn't lose any money on the deal.
