...I use a gmail account anytime I need to provide a real email
address but I don't really want more than the initial email from
wherever I am applying to. The have great spam filters, anything you
mark as spam will go to the spam folder and stay there until you
decide to change it's designation. I receive somewhere between 150-200
spam emails a day and any that I mark as spam I will not see again
unless I go in to clear out the spam folder...it clears itself
automatically every month, but I like to see the amount from time to
time.

...gmail gives you six+ gigs of space, you can email yourself
folders-files-pictures-videos and make storage folders for backup.
It's really too good to pass up.
