Just an observation really Some time back (March 2013) Sky changed from Gmail to Yahoo As soon as I heard I created a new Gmail account and swapped all lists over onto it and to the best of my knowledge receive all mail to all lists and virtually no spam (perhaps 1 per month) I have been in contact with others who initially stayed with Sky and therefore Yahoo and have had problems ever since I kept the Sky / Yahoo address as incoming mail only so I can still be contacted from the many earlier posts I have made and every day I receive spam purporting to be from Sky "your inbox is full" , "we are updating" etc - click this link and various I receive more spam per day on the Yahoo address yet haven't sent from it in over a year, than I do on gmail in a month or more Why do people still use Yahoo? -- Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK)

Nivard, what is Sky? How does one view it/use it? Your post intriguing.
