I have a couple of Gmail accounts, but I’ve still found it’s sent perfectly innocent emails to the spam folder and missed others. Moreover, all web-based email programs are quite cumbersome compared to genuine email clients right on your own computer. I’m sure that’s why Dave uses Outhouse Express and sets up his own filtering. I also use Mailwasher to preview and screen my mail on the server before actually downloading it. Spam is very obvious.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18899086.post-14020695997377921462008-01-19T07:07:00.000-05:002008-01-19T07:07:00.000-05:00Three things.1.
