Slightly off topic but with regards to Mary Whitehouse...

People often say that hom.ose-xuality is wrong because the Bible says so. However, it only says that now because of the pesky Americans.

Leviticus 18:22, 20:13- "man shall not sleep with man" used to say "man shall not sleep with a boy as he would a woman". The change seems to have occurred in 1946 when the American RSV edition of the Bible was published by Biblica.

An academic translated the original copy of Martin Luther's bible (1534). He discovered that the German scribes translated the original Greek word for child molester (arsenokoitai) as child molester (Knabenschander). He then went to Corinthians 1 to see how they translated arsenokoitai (original Greek word) and instead of hom.ose.xuals it said, “Boy molesters will not inherit the kingdom of God.”

The word hom.ose.xual did not exist in German Bible until 1983 until the American firm Biblica paid for the latest translation.

Yup, American bigotry has made life hell for as much as 10% of the population.

If you try your email, DON'T try your password!
Neat way to collect them up, from the same IP...

Google seems better than most. I have a virginmedia email and my brother AOL, and we find a load of emails from the likes of ebay go straight to spam, and we can't stop it.:mad:
 
I don't think there's a relationship between the junk/trash folders on your Email Client(mail), and the spam folder on your Email Server (gmail online)
 
Surely if you use an email client to access your Gmail you would expect it to map Gmails "spam" onto its "junk" (if thats what it calls it), trash to trash, etc?

It would be a pretty useless client if it did not replicate folder structures, contents, and to a large extent names.

I would expect that to be the case if you were using IMAP. If however you were using POP, I would expect the client to define the "rules"
 
1) It would be a pretty useless client which used POP in preference to IMAP.

2) It would be a pretty useless POP client which chose to obfuscate the structure of the mail server.

Google offer 15gb for free but that space is shared with your camera roll/etc. If you have 10 Gb of photos from your phone, you will soon use up the remaining 5gb in emails. In those circumstances it might make sense to use POP to store the emails on your PC and for your client to tell it to delete emails from the server after X days.

Only last week, I had to sort out a customer's Outlook, for some strange reason he had lost his folder view. I found the relevant pst file, it was 22gb. I ran the scanpst app, it took about 6 hours to repair the file.

That said, I take on board your point about obfuscating the structure of the mail server.
 
so on a daily basis I have to select these unwanted messages and delete them

I have gmail. I pretty much never look in junk. Only if I am expecting something and it's not in my inbox.
Gmail junk auto deletes after 30 days, so no need to delete it yourself.

All I want to achieve is delete my present email address and replace it with a different one so as to rid myself of the filth I am getting inundated with

They will find your new email. The moment you sign up to something that sells data, you'll start getting it again. Just ignore it.

Why?
IMAP has several advantages over POP

Id rather have consistent views of server-side mail from a multiplicity of clients and to use alternative backup solutions for all the data I care about, not just photos.

Same here.

In fact I checked earlier. Didnt find the email Ive been expecting.

But I did find that Im rich!

Have had loads of payments of tens of thousands into some account or other. Something to do with Bitcoin transactions.

I dont recall making any of those, nor opening this account. I should start clicking the links to get details of the transactions and verify that the payments went into my account.

I could use some of the funds to pay for the bigger p€n15 I can now get!
 
that pretty much sounds like my spam folder, along with invites from Russian ladies with NO FAKE PROFILES.
