Daniel & Pete, Firstly thanks for the replies. But to clarify, I'm not talking about shutting down Evo at all. I'm talking about (eg) when I first fire it up in the morning. What I seeing is Evo (inc spam filter) running. No other web browsers reading the email. So I would think the unread email is indeed new... so shouldn't it be being filtered? I was wondering if it was spamd that somehow was either timing out or only checking a max number of emails or something like that... but I'm not sure how to check this in order to eliminate that...
