The thing that one must do; is to have your server keep all Spam email; Suspect email,etc. Then they will hold it and you can go to the address provided with your password and that will put a stop to your receiving all that unwanted mail. You have your server delete them for you. I go to the address listed for me and type in my password, and if I find that I have an email from someone I really know, is to have them to send it to my home computer. I have had as many as over 600 emails(Spam) and I could neither send or receive emails, since they filled my box up. I have had no trouble since. Then if someone you want to hear from; my server sends me an email stating that some person wants to email me and if I know them; I will give permission for them to sign that they want to get in touch with me. That way you can either reject or receive it. Have no problem since then.

Thanks for all the advise, I really do appreciate it. I did not mean to put such a swarm of bees in everyone's bonnets. Take care and have a good one.
