This is not an answer to your question below but I wanted to mention a few things that might help you (if you decide to stick with Gmail a bit longer). When you see spam in your inbox do you use "Report spam"? When you see valid email in your spam do you use "Not spam"? I found it learns very quickly what I consider spam and what not. I also tend to go through the spam folder whenever there's 10 or more messages there. That makes it easy and fast and 99% of the time it's a simple select "All" + "Delete forever". If you wait until there's 800 mails there you're bound to make mistakes and it's a big job to clean it all up. > Does anybody know of a way to disable this stupid thing?

Sort of a get even thing there. :-@ Well, Don Quixote, I hope you'll forgive me for putting my money on Google anyway. ;-) :-P If you do decide to take on Google single-handedly ... keep a blog please, it should make for hilarious reading. ;-) :-) Cheers, Hilco
