I'm requesting that change as it would positively identify the spam messages. They generally seem to buffer the spam on their side and allow users to access the spam folder though a web interface. However, some less technical users find it easier to go looking for messages that have been potentially mistagged as spam in a "Spam" folder in Outlook rather than by logging to the web interface. > Next question, why add it?

Yeah, spam dump would be an option, but it would be more like a digest that I would then have to parse and place in the Spam folder, so it would involve work as well. Going that route there would also be a delay with the arrival of the messages tagged as spam. If someone is expecting an email which erroneously gets tagged as spam, at least they will now have access to it immediately. The only downside with this setup is, I suppose, that if someone sends a message with a subject beginning "**SPAM**" it will erroneously go into the spam folder. But then, if someone sends such a message in this Age of Spam, perhaps their email deserves to end up in the spam folder ;-). Ville
