I'd recommend http://www.mailinator.com/ for signing up for such things; a deliberately information-free email you can create in a second, so your proper accounts don't get snarled with spam.

I have to say I don't really pay attention to the number next to my junk folder. I checked for the purpose of this discussion and it says 894. Which means that is the number of junk mail I got in the last 30 days (older mails there get deleted automatically). I dont think it increased or anything. I suppose it's just constant.

Yes, I have nocted this. You always get a lot of Junk mail when joining these money making website, because when you put in your email, seems like everyone gets it.

That's why it's good to have several other email addresses to use just for signing up for things online.
I still get a good number at my regular email address, but I get thousands a week at the other addresses that I don't really care about.

That amount of junk mail is insane. I don't get that many in months. You must have signed up for quite a few things to be getting that amount of junk emails. I would set up a new email to use for signing up for that stuff to avoid sorting through to find the good stuff.

It is ridiculous the amount of junk mail that comes in, I am forever emptying mine because it gets chocka within a few hours. It was getting so bad that I have even stopped going on a lot of things just to try and stop it all. Luckily it does seem to be slowing up a bit now thank goodness.

I get a ton! I haven't bothered to look at the amount it has added up to but I'm sure it's astronomical. Most of it comes in from a person's name like Jim or Laura so you'll be more inclined to open it. I wish i could cut it down, but like you said it's the nature of the beast when you want to make money they send you spam.
