I switched from comcast.net and Outlook with SpamBayes to gmail several years ago. I get much less spam now than I did then. Gmail's spam filter does a better job, because you have hundreds of millions of users training it instead of just you. I maintained SpamBayes, Outlook and comcast for another few years for my tech-phobic wife. I finally got her to switch to gmail and dropped the whole PC mess. She is much happier as well.
It is easy to create a gmail account and set it up to POP email from your old address, so your old one still works with a few-minute delay before GMail's next POP request. I set up a Gmail filter to add a "ComCast" label to all that email. Every so often, I notify people I care about of my new address, change it on registered websites and so forth. It works quite well, and only a few mails come through with a ComCast label anymore. Disclaimer: I work for Google, but not on GMail. I started working for Google after I made the switch, but before I switched my wife.
