Re: KRnet> test
You might try turning off the spam filter at the server and deal with it locally. Thunderbird has a reasonable heuristics based junk/spam filter, so you would still have the same opportunity to verify whether or not your "spam" is still spam. Thunderbird will also move the email on the server based on your selection. It took me a while to get used to that and I am thinking about going back to Outlook and the MS Office Suite, but haven't decided yet. Mark W (N952MW res.)

Re: KRnet> test
Larry, Sounds like Frontier is not providing you what you want. GMail has one of the best spam filters, but some don't like the loss of privacy to Google's advertising platform. If best privacy is your thing, then go with ProtonMail. They are based in Switzerland (better privacy laws) and have a free account option for your level of usage. You can opt to not use the SaaS app (desktop and mobile) that both Google and Protonmail provides and always pull your mail to Thunderbird if you wish.

If you're still reading I'll share something else on the subject of smart phones and AI. My smart phone (Apple) is programmed to learn my routine. When I get in my truck to go home after work I remove my phone from the holster to check for any missed calls / text and without touching a thing it opens the GPS program and gives me the distance and ETA to drive home. This morning after our usual Saturday morning breakfast get-together I got in my truck, pulled out my phone to check, and the GPS popped up and gave me the distance and ETA to the local airport that I stop at every Saturday morning after breakfast. AI is not to be feared it's the people writing the software that should be feared, especially if they are the people in power. AI is nothing more than a totally obedient servant to it's master.

Re: KRnet> test
Well, if you are not having any problems with your smartphone email app, just your T-bird desktop app, then maybe you recently updated the app and you need to revisit the settings to make sure you are only pulling the mail from the inbox folder?

Steve, I NEVER check e-mail with my phone , only the desktop and I didn't update anything. Maybe Windows did but I must approve all updates and I've not done any in weeks. It is working o.k. now but after a couple of days of it screwing up and then my talk with tech support my scam e-mail is almost non existent. I'm just wondering what the tech did to knock my spam from 50+ a day to maybe 1 or 2 and if now I'm getting all my e-mails. It seems like I am so it's good for now. It's just that the mystery remains.. Larry -- KRnet mailing list KRnet@list.krnet.org https://list.krnet.org/mailman/listinfo/krnet
