I find the web mail interface somewhat tedious with a screen reader. I
therefore don't use it.
Instead I have set the system so that all e-mails are downloaded from the
POP3 account to Outlook. Can't remember how to do this but there is good
descriptive help for it on the BT Help pages.
I have the Outlook junk filter set up and also use the method described in
the BT Help pages to filter the bulk mail to a bulk folder.
An e-mail that comes from anybody in your e-mail address book will not be
sent to bulk.
I simply find it much easier to do it all on Outlook, even if there is a
little setting up to do first.
Another advantage is that once you have learnt how to filter mails like the
Bulk stuff it is a small step then to build some more filters for other high
volume e-mails, like the UK Access list. You then get to be able to read
your genuine e-mails easily first and then read the contents of list e-mails
at your leisure.

Hi.
As Sandra outlined, you need to log in to the BT Yahoo web site to check
what has gone to the spam folder. The following will hopefully provide a
guideline of what needs to be done.
1. Go to the BT Yahoo website www.btyahoo.com 2. Locate the sign in link
and press enter.
3. Locate the e-mail and password fields and complete them before pressing
enter on the log in button.
4. Locate the 'check your e-mail' on the next page and press enter.
5. Locate the bulk link on the following page. This will confirm the
number of messages filtered out by spamguard. Press enter to start browsing
the messages.
6. The following page will have up to 25 messages. To delete a message,
press spacebar on the checkbox. There is a delete button at the end of the
25 messages that will delete all marked messages.
7. To train spamguard to identify a sender as 'not spam'.
a) press enter on the link of the message in question
b) Locate the 'not spam' button
c) press enter
d) the message will now go to the outlook inbox
It's very quick to review messages in the bulk folder by using repeated
keystrokes of F and spacebar. The keystroke F will keep placing you on the
next delete checkbox and spacebar will set it for deletion. When you've
pressed F for the 26th time, you're on the delete button where 2 presses of
the spacebar will delete the messages and load the next 25. Each time you
press F it will not only land you on the checkbox but will read the sender
of the e-mail immediately so you can decide to select it or not. Generally,
spamguard works very well and I've had few occasions where I've had to train
it.
Regards.
Kevin
