Similar for me. I don't know if you're having Alpine talk to MS365 using IMAP, or instead using something like fetchmail to get the messages. (I've done both of these, although I have more experience with the latter.) > Some legitimate e-mail is now in the Spam folder. How do I tell > Alpine that they are NOT spam? As someone said, it is MS365 that is marking them as spam, not Alpine, so you'd have to tell MS365 that it's not spam, not Alpine. There should be a way to do that through the MS365 web interface -- but you may have to do it for each such message individually. A couple things I'll add: With my work's setup, the spam folder is called "Junk Email". And instead or, or perhaps in addition to, telling MS365 that the messages are not spam, you may be able to connect to that folder directly (or get the messages from that folder directly). > A few legitimate e-mails sent directly to me -- that people tell > me they have sent -- are nowhere to be found.

These are probably the same thing -- some messages not getting through, some individual/direct messages and some mailing list messages. I've noticed this happen for me as well (maybe only for the latter case, since those you can notice by yourself, as you point out). I've investigated this in my setup, and haven't been able to determine for sure what happened. Now, my setup does have a virus/spam detection system as part of the overall system (I mean that my work takes care of -- I don't know or have access to the details of how it works), and I believe things they believe to be viruses and perhaps also guaranteed/100% spam they simply trash without even sending to MS365. So perhaps that's what's happening with these messages. But that's just a guess. If anyone has better hypthoses, or more definitive knowledge, as to what might've happening, I'd be happy to hear them. > Thomas Gramstad Milt Epstein mepst...@illinois.edu _______________________________________________ Alpine-info mailing list Alpine-info@u.washington.edu http://mailman12.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/alpine-info
