Alan,

What You do with the email accounts all going to one account is very
nice.

I've never thought of doing anything like that.

I know that I probably could create another POP3/SMTP account in TB for
Juno email but haven't been interested enought to try doing it.

I use MailWasher Free to preview the email coming into my DSL account
before I grab it with TB.

The last month or so I have been seeing more SPAM messages in my
preview.

Yahoo! does catch a lot of Spam but misses some of them.

It sounds like Gmail is doing a better job of rerouting the Spam before
You see it in the Inbox, than I am seeing Yahoo! doing, but I can live
with it.

I think it was yesterday that I got one saying "Final Warning/Account
Verification" that said it was From "AT&T Customer Care".

It is nice that MailWasher Free lets me hover the mouse pointer over the
Sender of the message to see the address that a message came from.

A lot of the "Verification" messages are sent to me have a
sbcglobal.net or ATT.com address, but some of them are from addresses
ending with .it , which I think is Italy, and I'd think AT&T wouldn't be
using a company in Italy to handle email to a customer in the Lower 48.

A lot of people are wanting me to "Verify" my Users Name and Password,
and try to act like the message they send is Very Important and
Officially from AT&T, but I choose to put them in my SPAM folder.

Recently when I talked to AT&T DSL Support over the Telephone I told
them that ANY email I get in my Inbox saying it is From AT&T/SBCGLOBAL
I automatically put it in my SPAM box, and they've told me that is OK
with them.

A couple of months ago I got a message saying it was preview of my AT&T
Phone Bill, I looked at it in MailWasher Free and it had my Telephone
Number in it, so I called AT&T about it and found out that it actually
was from AT&T, the problem is, is that I didn't subscribed to Email
Billing and the Phone Co. Customer Service Rep. said the only way I
could stop AT&T from sending me emails about that was to Click on the
UnSubscribe Link IN THE email, and I certainly don't want to do that.

I'm Still Having Fun With Computers!!!!!!!
