Sarah : I would recommend you use Mailwasher. This is a free programme which sits on your computer and lists all the emails sitting on the server waiting delivery to your PC. You can decide which ones you want and sort - in all sorts of ways - the ones you don't - before they are admitted to your computer.
Mailwasher will eliminate all the emails you don't want and - if you tell it to - send them back to the source. They'll never actually reach your PC.
The best thing of all is that Mailwasher will blacklist spam emails on yopur instructions so the next time a spammer sends you email he will appear - on Mailwasher - as a blacklisted source.
At the touch of a key that ermail gets bounced from the server back to the sender - again it will never actually get into your computer!
Result? A clean spam-free computer.
Just Google mailwasher and you'll find the software. The free version is fine but there is a more elaborate version which you can pay for.Hope that helps
