I do the same - gmail filters most spam straight into the spam folder, then I have it set up to go to Outlook, via Mailwasher, so out of gazillions of emails, there are only a couple that ever make it close to my Outlook inbox - I make sure I go through the gmail spam folder on a regular basis in case I miss any wem's, but if you're organised, It's no bother dealing with the extra mails

Only thing is I have no idea how!

Same here - I've got very good AV sys in place, but I don't want to deliberatly put it to the test with dodgy emails! :rotfl:

Is Thunderbird good? I have Outlook cos I can synch my mails between desktop & lappy. Can u do that with Thunderbird do u know?

I read it as she always ticks the boxes to say it's ok to mail her agree it could read either way though!

Hi Everyone so I've you all. What I mean to say is I agree to receive all mailing from the company running the competition + 3rd mail contacts.

Like Toniq said earlier, you do get early notification of comps, + I still think the companies putting up the prizes want something back from us.

Entering comps on line is not the same as going into their shop, browsing, and then buying something to be entered into the competition IMO.

I would be interested in knowing a bit more about Mailwasher and anti-virus spyware. So if Toniq is around maybe she could arrange a masterclass.:D

I OPT OUT of all mailings & have won a LOT from this board, IMO it doesn't make a difference unless it says in the T&C's HTH

I can't see it. I know Gilliana usually puts it on, but I can't see one for last week either.

I'll put it on now.
