Is their junkmail filter now default on all settings? I had the filter on lowest or off but the last time I got a junkmail in my inbox was before the new layout [img]smile.gif[/img] .

They prolly just ran out of spammers to sell their lists to.

I've hardly had any junk mail for ages, just the odd one or two. Of course in Europe it's now illegal to send junk mail which may have helped. I quite like the new layout too.

I like the new layout too - but is it an 'improvement' rather than a 'change'? Seems a bit like when the people in charge at the paper we get decided to 'improve' the TV guide. They wrote a whole article about it - first they changed the name from TV Scene to TV Guide - apparently more such improvements were to come!

I wouldn't trust the junkmail filter where it just deletes your junk automatically - it might pick it all up, but it also collects non-junk as well. I use the 'keep for a week' filter.

I never got any junk mail. not a single one! I must be special! [img]smile.gif[/img] Either that, or some evil undead creature, with an aura that destroys junk mail as it approaches. [img]graemlins/firedevil.gif[/img]

I like the changes. I used to get 5-10 pieces of junk mail a day, now I do not get any. The only things that land in my junk mail folder is stuff that is legitimate but I did not set up as protected (I have my filter on the highest setting). Thus, I can go there, figure out who I really want to keep contact with, and get rid of the rest. And no one has told me that they sent an email that I did not get on my end. Much improved, IMHO.

I've never gotten one since I got my hotmail account. I consider myself perfect
