I've had my personal email address for over 20 years and the junk emails are a PITA. I know my email address has been sold a gazillion times.

TIA...just curious if others change their addresses

I have a "spam" one that I use to sign up for stuff and an actual personal box that I only use for job apps or with other people, etc.

My "spam" box has over 2000 unread

Haven't changed since college in 2008. Even then my email was basically the same with me swapping out @mycollege for @yahoo.com

If I didn't clean mine out a few times a day I'd have more than this per week which is why I asked the question.

My gmail account is going on 14 years (i believe) and the spam is minimal. The Yahoo account I migrated from that I still keep alive is ridiculously infested with spam. I mean its unmanageable

If you want to keep your current email address just start marking what you don't want to receive as spam, after a couple of weeks of doing it you will knock 90% of the crap out.

I've had the same hotmail address for 20+ years.

Why change?

Never. Junk filters appropriately for the past 20 years.

I've had my main Yahoo account since 1997. I was one of the first 1,000 Beta testers.

I got Gmail back when it was by invite. 2004 I suppose.

My hotmail from '98 is still active but everything except the junk that still comes in has long since been purged. Shame too, I had some... nice things in there.

I've had the same Hotmail address since the late '90s, but I'm seriously considering shuttering it soon for that very reason (and a few others).

I have had my Gmail over 15 years, it does a good job with spam. Wife has Yahoo, it sucks with spam.
