fannymites,
David is absolutely correct. Your “pesonal” email has not been targeted yet but it could end up the same as your “general purpose” mail.
Forums usually are not the culprits, but other sites than can monitor the users on the forum and send spam-mail.
I suggest you install a simple to use email filter. I have had great results with K-9 which is fairly simple to install, use and it works fine with Avat.
You can find K-9 and other email filters here:

Good luck
