If you have a virus program, say from your isp, that advertises spam blocker - that's most likely why you see that. OE, used to be smart enough not to bother telling you that mail has arrived if it does a block sender. Things change though sometimes. I use another kind of spaminator. Oh,,fwiw\[/ for a long time in OE, I did use the simple Block Sender ... one day decided to clear them all out and start fresh. It was amazing how fast OE worked suddenly when it wasnt checking each mail for that huge list of blocks.

I use Road Runner for my email and I have to log in to see if I have Junk emails because sometimes Road Runner will place an email from a forum I post in, and place it in the Junk Folder. So anytime I post in the forum and expect a reply, I have to check Road Runner to see if it went in the Junk file. I check Road Runner every time I get email during the day. If the junk file gets a lot of junk emails, I have to empty it to keep it from building up.

There is a very effective program that you can download for free called "Spam-Aid", it will block ALL messages that are from anyone that is not listed in your address book.It is installed on your computer as a separate program and you can use it, or bypass it to check your email the usual way without anything being blocked. Just keep in mind when using Spam-Aid to check you mail, EVERYTHING is blocked and deleted at the server except for messages from those that are listed in your address book. It is very effective at what it does, I use it and am well pleased with it. I might add that the program does have a way for those whom you know that are not listed in your address book to get a messsage delivered to you by way of a "password" which they can obtain from a clue you give them in setting up the program. Just check it out, you may want to use it, you may not - but it works. http://www.topshareware.com/Spam-Aid-download-12249.htm
