Just set your inbox to only allow people in your address book. Everything else will go into junk mail. You will need to check the junk folder now and then to see if something went there that you want. Works for me. I get a dozen or so junk per day in my hotmail account. I get zero in my Yahoo and maybe 1 a month at home.
