Thanks for the comments... Adding senders to the address book only works after the are "qualified." This is ok if the mail is only coming from known sources - such as family & friends & subscriptions - but not useful to us since much of our mail is from previously unidentifed - but legitimate - senders.

The good news is that PM sees the spam folder. The bad news is >> that it does not see AOL "Read Mail" I was referring to PowerMail - not CE. PM does not show a "Read Mail" folder for an IMAP connection to AOL. I'll check again re the read-vs-unread status of mail in the IMAP-AOL In Box - I may have faked myself out by the fact that I've been running test with PM and EM in parallel, along with AOL web mail and the AOL Mac client! >Sure it does.
