Did you have your account before the July 11 switchover? If so, is your email account "@me.com" or "@mac.com" getting spammed? If only one, give out the other to people and make a rule that anything going to the other gets filtered out.

i use @mac on my mail.app
and of course i use @me on a browser
but the thing is that when i log into my me mail the spam messages are there
so i dont think there is a difference

How did your "email get sent to a spam service" in the first place? Sounds like you posted your email address somewhere public, which you should never do.

You should also create some aliases and start using those for internet sites that require an email address. Once that alias starts getting spam, you can simply delete the alias and make another.

It's called Apple ID, and no, you can not change it once registered (unless you don't mind abandoning your current Apple ID and registering a new one for another $99).
