I understand what you're doing.

Sometimes you get *good* mail with the words SEX, FREE, and PROFIT in the subject line? :O Wow, I never knew the life of a webmaster was so exciting! ;) >So, this is what happens.

So, the FIRST thing I do is >look in my SPAM folder. It's not there. I think for a second. So, it sounds like the only places where you should expect to find a personal message are in your inbox and your SPAM folder. If that's true, and the message you're searching for isn't in either of these folders, you should stop searching immediately. >I may look >in the logs folder, but get overwhelmed.

But you already said that you don't always see every subject line as it flies by the Connection Status window at DSL speeds. So it sounds to me like you *always* need to search your inbox and your SPAM folder whenever new mail arrives, just in case you missed something. And if you always have to search these folders, what difference does it make if you do or don't see a suspicious message flash by the Connection Status window? (By the way, if you *always* have to check your SPAM folder for messages, you don't really have a SPAM folder -- you have a second inbox.) ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
