["Keith Barrett" <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ray,

Glad you are making progress.

I use imap to check and delete spam from the plusnet spam folder.

I try to avoid logging in to their web mail since they leaked all those e-mail 
addresses a year or so ago.  (still get lots of spam as a result).

Incidently, I have turned off their blatent spam blocking as some legitamate 
e-mails were being removed.
