I don't feel that's a medium / tool issue, I've found it's a usage pattern issue. I have many email addresses. My most personal is known to people I like and trust. I use it the way many people use IM. I get zero zero spam in it. The emails I use for business or subscriptions or untrustworthy friends of course is spammy. I imagine if one uses any IM service to enroll into dozens of services / products / subscriptions / websites / etc... Spam will come regardless of medium :)

My Messenger would remain spam free. Because ability to authn someone and ability to send someone a message were decoupled, which is just better than email.
