| Guest | What's the point of the junk mail folder? I'm clearly missing something here, but could someone tell me what it's for? I mean, you still have to check all the mail in it to make sure it's not genuine. Ian ('genuinely' puzzled) -- |

| Guest | Re: What's the point of the junk mail folder? Presumably it saves time because you would only check your Junk E-mail folder once a day or so. Once you inspect the Junk emails you can mass delete the entire folder contents, which also saves a little time. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "Ian F." <wowfabgroovy@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:6hipf1Fm8lkmU1@xxxxxx Quote: > I'm clearly missing something here, but could someone tell me what it's for? > I mean, you still have to check all the mail in it to make sure it's not > genuine. > > Ian > ('genuinely' puzzled) |

| Guest | Re: What's the point of the junk mail folder? Yeah, but haven't you noticed? Nothing in life is perfect. Distinguishing spam from desired emails is more of an art than a science. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "locoeng" <guest@xxxxxx-email.com> wrote in message news:8045aa1ea00383424c18dd10b8c31cc9@xxxxxx-gateway.com...
