Hello Stef, I respect your openness about the fact. But it has not reached the same volumes here as in the west i guess. Because except for Yahoo, i have 3 other accounts, which i have been maintaining, spam free, 2 of them for over 6 years and one for 3 months. I only have access to dial-up connection, which makes spam a huge disadvantage, because it takes so much time to download.. Except for yahoo (which does get a lot of spam because it is my 'registration' address, and that's why i ruled against using yahoo pops) i am getting mail from all accounts using a mail client. I like thunderbird a lot, yet it is not the fastest in downloading messages. That's why it is pretty important for me to avoid spam in any quantities. Nevertheless, i do appreciate your insight, and hope there is a way out... Julia
