Redrum, The PM that you sent did not come to my Thunderbird folder either in my inbox or a junk folder (I never did create a junk folder in Thunderbird). But in Thunderbird there is a settings page that allows spam to be rerouted to any folder that you want; I had not activated it but now have it, supposedly, sending spam to my inbox. The PM message that I did receive when I logged into Yahoo Mail was in the inbox and not the spam/junk folder. No, I did not find any of the older notifications that I should have received in the spam folder in Yahoo Mail either. The only recent message that I received was your PM in my Yahoo Mail inbox. Now that I have changed the Thunderbird spam setting could you, and any others reading this post, please try sending me some PMs. I have always found Yahoo Mail to be flaky but that is what ATT uses. One interesting item is that when I started with ATT a couple of years ago it was out of necessity because I can only afford phone line DSL and ATT is the only ISP left serving my area. And when I was setting up my email I talked to ATT and 3 different customer reps kept giving me incorrect email server addresses. I finally found the correct/working email servers through a serious search online. Hopefully I can get things working but it is really not all that important in the long run. It is just an irritant to have to go into the Slimdevices forum just to check for responses. And since I am in my mid 70s I have become more and more irritable which is both good and bad!
