Hi,
When I had an SBCGLOBAL account years ago I used to miss important mail fairly regularly because of Yahoo’s overly aggressive spam filter, and, as you say, the only way to get around the situation was to periodically check the junk folder.  I finally set up a GMail account and have had  very little difficulty with overly-aggressive spam filtering.

The big deal is that I didn't know I was supposed to go there. For example, this morning, I got a call about an assignment for later in the week being cancelled. It came as a surprise because the assignment email never made it to my computer inbox in the first place.
