Dear Ronni and Marcus, I really wasn't suspecting an accusation! Just clarifying that this was not a possible trigger. Because of the way our accounts are set up we have chosen not to use iCloud (probably an indication of our lack of knowhow). For the present, I think I will close mail on my phone and iPad and then when I see from my junk mail on the desk top that the spam has subsided, I can start them up again. There must be a lot of very strange and sad people in this cyber world! :-)
