Sadly, Verizon FIOS, a great ISP, farmed out its email component to AOL. I use Outlook, Yahoo, and Yandex. NONE of those services rack up the amount of spam the way AOL does. If I get 5 spam emails a year with those other services it's a lot. With AOL...I rack up at least 25-40 spam emails A DAY. That's just insane. Yes, they go to my spam folder, but it seems as if AOL actually encourages spam, whereas all of the other online services block spam. If I didn't need AOL to get my Verizon FIOS bills, etc., I'd dump it in a New York minute.
