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.
