WinMail Junk mail and spam

I've never had a junk mail or spam problem before switching to WinMail.
Previously the stuff rarely got through and I was able to block certain
annoying junk/spamers. Now, some of the mail I need to receive
(non-junk/spam) is sent to its junk mail folder and the real spam it just
lets through no matter what and no matter what I tell it to do. This is a
180 degree from what should be. Does anyone know how to get WinMail to grasp
what's what?

As it stands, WinMail has its head up its ...

Re: WinMail Junk mail and spam

My experience is 180 ° from yours.
I am quite pleased with the junk mail filters.
Don't know what the difference is..

Re: WinMail Junk mail and spam

I don't get it either. Its got a thing against people who send to me from
hotmail and gmail. Spam domain names even when they've been blocked its been
like a invitation to a rave being hosted by my inbox and I didn't send out
any invites and no one's given ME a flyer. The spam needs to party
elsewhere.

The Junk Mail Filters may need some training.
If there is non-junk mail in the Junk Mail folder, right click it And choose
Junk Mail Options | Add to Safe Senders.
