I get about ten emails a day that are SPAM. All of them come from fake Rolex companies offering me 'the best buy'. Of course, I use GMX Mail, so it normally throws a lot of my actual emails into SPAM, which is annoying.
'It's been a prevalent notion. Fallen sparks. Fragments of vessels broken at the Creation. And someday, somehow, before the end, a gathering back to home. A messenger from the Kingdom, arriving at the last moment. But I tell you there is no such message, no such home -- only the millions of last moments . . . nothing more. Our history is an aggregate of last moments.'

Well it's normally between 4-10 of fake companies offering me all sorts of stuff. it ranges from viagra to watches to grosseries...but it gets filtered to the junk folder...but it still counts.
and then if you count chain emails...it goes up to about 20... o_O

I get about 10-20 spam emails a day, All of them are filtered to the spam box and I even get emails that I've authorized landing in my spam box.
Worse, is that they try to 'spoof' my email address to make it look like it's from myself. Probably a form of DoS but It's ineffective on my own spam filters. That aside, I own 2 domain names and can switch/change my email at any time. >:D I love confusing spammers xDD

I don't get that many, but I get really amused by the ones I do. On my G-mail, I get so many Viagra ones, it's ridiculous. XD I get a lot of ones tying to sell me "jewelry" and some really inappropriate ones that I can't say on PC, but are really funny to me nevertheless.

My WLM e-mails only get random junk from Facebook, and other random sites that I've joined over the past few months. Otherwise, I don't really get junk mail from those ones.

It really depends on which mail account you are talking. On my hotmail one, since it's the oldest I have, I must get about 10 or so spam in the Inbox per week (of course, the Spambox is always filled with TONS of garbage)
I have another account at argentina.com, which rarely gets any spam, usually about 2 per week (Spambox here doesnt get that many messages either)
And the newest one I have, at Gmail, which I have since around 5 months, I think I have only gotten 1 spammy post at all. Kinda like I was expecting that, since I heard Gmail is probably the best mail service.

I have all my email addresses redirect to one account. I get about 30-40 spam messages a day on it; I don't bother to check which ones are sent to which address but I don't see the point anyway. :P Very rarely does one slip through; gmail's filters are very good.

well let's see in my MSN address (yes it still requires the @msn.com ending) I get about 200 or so a month since I don't check it often. then there's my yahoo account, which gets around 500-600 per month (even when it deletes the spam box every week). in my Gmail I get a couple from places like Snapfish which I just delete quickly. I get nothing in my PC box.

Although I have many email accounts on many different sites, the only one I am currently using is my @msn.com email address and that so far has given me absolutely no spam at all and I've had it for quite some time now. It's rather shocking, but it could be because we are currently paying for the email account, the spam fighting software, the MSN Explorer, etc.

I have many different email account I use for different reasons. I use my @yahoo email account which has Zero spam because I never use that email to sign up for internet accounts. I use my @cox email account which gets about 50 spam messages a day.

I've had 10 spam emails in the last 18 hours. o.o

Luckily Gmail filters them all out; I agree with Lightning, their filters are very good. Unlike Hotmail, which still gives me the same spam messages appearing after I block them all. =\

In my older account, one or two per month, if we don't know the stupid "send it to 100 people or your dog will die" chains one of my friends LOVED to send me.

In my new account, I have only got ONE spam message in a year =D

So I'll say I'm lucky, because my mother gets 4-5 per day... >>;

I don't get an "spam"..

HOWEVER..
My inbox is filled with useless forwards from my contacts including chain letters.
Also Facebook notifications seem to be everywhere in my account. I'm too lazy to figure out how to turn them off.
coming back looking delicious

Mine's filled with updates and forwards (which I happen never to forward myself but take great interest in laughing at and reading the emails of the other unfortunate people who received it xD). I get about one to two a day, and an occasional piece of good ol' spam.
Even if the heavens must fall, justice will prevail.
