No junk mail arriving

[Polarize]

Email from my Earthlink account comes into my Inbox fine (if they are in my
contacts), but nothing shows up in the Junk E-Mail folder. If I check the
account using Earthlink webmail - there are numerous msgs in the Spam folder
- some are ones that I would like to see (most are not!).

McAafee Anti-Spam came loaded on the PC and shows up as a folder in my Inbox
- is that what is blocking all the junkmail?

I have the Junk E-Mail Options set to Low.

Thanks.

I am guessing that Earthlink's own spam filter is catching this stuff. Go
to the webmail page and look for options, settings, etc.

If this is a POP account (most likely), then what you experience is normal.
POP accounts can only download whatever mail is in the Inbox folder on
the server. It cannot download from a spam folder. If you want to
download everything, check the available settings in your webmail.

Incidentally, your antivirus interaction with Windows Mail is likely to
corrupt Windows Mail sooner or later.

Yep, that was it - thanks!
