Comment myrealbox, Free and Spam Free (Score 2, Informative) 422
I've used a free email service for over two years and have NEVER received spam. I'm sure it's partially because it's less well known than hotmail but also because the have a serious commitment to blocking all spam and pursuing action against incoming and outgoing spam.
From the Myrealbox No Spam Policy:
"Spam is no good.
Don't do it.
It causes bad karma and cancer (and perhaps some other diseases).
Yes, this is true.
No, it's not a joke.
Oh, and spammers rot in hell."
"For each violation of the no spam policy, users will be fined ten dollars ($10 USD) for EACH E-mail sent. This damages provision does not preclude Novell from seeking other damages as well."
They give you IMAP, POP in addition to a nice webmail interface. I'm assuming they'll start charging for at some point but this is a good example of how it is possible to block spam if the service provider is committed.
