Recently Google decided to flood me with softcore porn. Enough.

I tried about a dozen other free email providers. All I want to do is import my contacts and send email. I couldn't get it done. It was the usual software nightmare.

Anyone have a recommendation?

Odd. I've always been really impressed with gmails spam filter. The 3 or 4 that get through a week are scarily well targeted.

Where exactly are you having trouble with exporting or importing your contacts?
