Spamming and phishing
A recent survey by Yougov says the ISP is also responsible for the email related problems like spam, phishing etc. One-tenths of the surveyed people says the email service provider is also to blame for this issue.

I will fully agree with it, since I have an email account with almost all free email service providers, I could say the difference. Google and Yahoo mails are excellent as they have good spam filters. I feel Google is slightly better than Yahoo.

Still, there are some clever spams reach the mail boxes easily. Anybody can give suggestion to prevent this?

No there is no real way of tackling spam its a huge problem in society.The only way is to turn the spam filters that come with your email supplied by whichever company to high priority blocking lots of spam.Be carefull though it does not block decent mail.

Ninety percent of mails that I get are spam. So I have decided to leave this free email account for a email package. I get to know that Be customers get a email bundle for a fixed monthly cost.

Any Be customer can share their experience?
