I did a survey of iconography and words for different mail ui's several years back, and i think hotmail and yahoo used the same iconography, one for spam the other for trash. The desire to use "junk" in place of spam is probably partially to blame, as well.
ahh, from 2011, here, it was Apple Mail and Outlook that were opposite: Evolution uses the red circle as trash, and crumbled paper as "junk", which seems backwards myself. Thunderbird uses an X for trash, and a trash can with a green "no entry" circle for junk, which again doesn't seem that clear. Apple Mail uses the red no entry for trash, and I can't tell if its a shopping bag or garbage can with a green recycle logo and letters poking out the top. Outlook appears to use the opposite from Apple Mail, a recycle garbage can for trash, and a folder or envelope with a red no entry symbol. Hotmail is an black X for delete and a red X on envelope for junk (with the words next to it) Yahoo mail is a trash can for trash, and a flaming envelope for junk (with words next to it) On Tue, Aug 30, 2016 at 5:53 AM, David Hofstee <da...@mailplus.nl> wrote: > The Live.com Spam-butten, in Dutch, translates into 'unwanted mail'.
