Google mail is G-Mail. What's your E-mail, and I'll send you some spam... ER. I mean I'll give ya' an invite. 
As far as spam, Norton Anti-Spam works fine for what I need. Check it out, it usually comes with some pretty good other programs too.
Some ppl here in the forums don't like Norton though. I've liked it ever since I started using it years ago.

I tested more spam filters. Now I use SpamBully for Outlook Express. It is a great tool. I've been running it on my Outlook Express for months and it gets smarter everyday. | |

Why not try using Mozilla Thunderbird? I don't personally use it or outlook, but i hear it has less security issues than outlook(same for firefox, my prefered internet browser). BTW, is G-mail any good? Might as well ask here and not on AIM or whatever lol | |

Yes...Gmail is good. More features for email sorting and etc. Again, it is preference. For example, I'm the type who just want to go to a web page, view it, and that's it, so I use IE. Of course FF and Opera offers more cool features than IE. If you just want a simple email to read, delete, or save, then go with something like hotmail or your ISP provided email address...want more features, Gmail...of course you can features by using any of them with Outlook or other email programs.
I personally like Gmail because it offers a lot of space that I didn't have to pay for. I'm able to send and receive huge attachments and not worry about filling up my mailbox.

cool. IE does the job fine but FF has some cool features, and as it was on the PCG disc i thought i might as well use it. I'll probably stick to using hotmail and yahoo for now, no point in me getting a Gmail account(would also mean threatening someone for an invitation, and i get the feeling thats illegal... ) | |

I'm sure you could PM one of the members here that said they would invite you and they could give you an invite...I have like 90 left.
