Do you have outlook set to download email as soon as you open the program up or do you initiate it?

| Once you set it not to download automatically & you purge the spam via web-mail, is it still downloading the spam when you initiate oulook to get messages?

| said by Johkal :Are you willing to experiment with a different mail client? Well, I figured it out all by myself. LOL I have 1 other e-mail account at Comcast and that is where the spam e-mails are coming from. Instead of downloading into the correct folder for the second account, they are just going into my main identities Inbox. Problem solved.
Thanks for all of your help Johkal and all others. Um which e-mail client were you thinking of Johkal? If it will solve this spam garbage, I'm willing to try anything. LOL

Chicago, IL | Thanks Johkal, have downloaded it and installed it and will play around with it for a while. Seems pretty cut and dried simple.
Thanks,
