I have two yahoo e-mail addresses. I check both, but one is for intimate contacts, may be work-related, etc. The other, the one I use here, I use to sign up for on-line accounts, post where necessary, etc.
In short, one gets spammed and one does not. I deal with the spam in the one so I don't accidently filter out a message I would have liked to have gotten. And the other account is safe to be and is used at work.
This method works nicely for me.
As far as spammers, I worry about the crap they send my mother. It's not the stuff she can tell is junk, but the personalized, illegal crap made to look like you should open it. This makes me mad, as she does not need to be seeing the crap they send. She is still learning the ropes of being on-line, and is not interested in free xxx or coupons - much less spam designed to confuse the user.
