Hi All,


Over the last couple of months, I've noticed that a lot more mail is 
going into the junk folder on the web. I don't like this, but I'm not 
sure how to fix it.


The problem is that some work messages are winding up in my Junk folder, 
and the only way to find them is to go on the web. Going on the web 
isn't a big deal. 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.


I'm using Thunderbird. About a week ago, I went into Tools > Account 
Settings > Account > Junk to tell the program to send me all my mail, 
whether it was junk or not, but that doesn't seem to have worked, and 
when I checked again a few minutes ago, none of my preferences seemed to 
have gotten saved.


Most of my accounts are Yahoo Mail (i.e., SBC Global). Back in the day, 
there used to be a setting in the Yahoo Mail web interface for sending 
all junk mail to the inbox, which is how I had things set. Now I'm not 
finding that option.



Any other ideas about what else I can try?


Thanks for any wisdom.


Ciao
