My publicly available address is a Gmail account. Despite being out there on the intarwebs for all the spiders to index, a remarkably small amount of spam arrives in my inbox; I guess I'm a fan of their filters as well.
I have an account with my ISP that I give to all of my friends/family, and use for any professional correspondence. Since it doesn't exist within any public space, it's spam-free.
They both go to Thunderbird. Back when I was spending most of my time in a Linux environment I found it convenient to keep Thunderbird running on a separate workspace, so that I'd be notified in realtime as emails came in. It made me feel like some cool techno-elitist or something.
Finally I have a hotmail account from high school that I use to sign into MSN and check about once a month just to be sure nothing important got sent there by mistake.
The thing that I miss most about being back in a Windows environment, as an aside, is multiple workspaces. Why Microsoft has yet to implement such a simple and handy feature is something I just don't understand.
