I never get any mature women after me. It's not fair!

@g.mail is not a valid email address - spam messages are never sent from genuine addresses, or the spammers would be much easier to catch.

For the record, I've used Gmail since it's early beta days in 2004, and almost never get spam messages hitting my inbox, and similarly I almost never get genuine emails hitting my spam folder.

Once though, I did get around 20,000 spam emails hitting my spam folder one day, and when I checked some were several years old. For some reason Gmail hard spewed back up every spam email I'd ever deleted. Seems they don't actually delete anything at Google, they just mark them as hidden. I wish I had their hard drive supply contract...

I don't have a hotmail email account... but I know several folk that do, about half a dozen or so. Now it may be just co-incidental but out of those 6 or so, in the past year 5 of them have had their accounts hacked, resulting in junk/spam/crap emails being sent from their accounts.

As far as I'm aware there have been no other untoward effects, but it does make me wonder. Why have none of my other contacts, without hotmail accounts, suffered like this?

I repeat, it may be just co-incidence!
