How about a little advice here? I've had this email address since day one. For a long time there was little or no spam. Now it's really increasing.
That to Chris' prodding, I've been successful in implementing Mail Actions to the point where it's virtually 100% effective in putting the good stuff into my "In" folder, while putting the spam into my "Spam" folder. For example, today I got 5 good emails which landed in my "In" folder, but 19 spams which all landed in my "Spam" folder. In about a second, with one click, I got rid of all the spam, including their attachments, using the "Shred Messages" AppleScript. The question is, with this working so effectively, would I be better off to keep my longtime address, or to dump all this spam by changing addresses? What I'm afraid of is that, if I change addresses, something important in my past will try to contact me at the old address and I'll miss it. To completely avoid this problem I'd have to keep the old address along with the new, and check it periodically. If I didn't check it real often, the spam would fill up my quota on the server. Is there any possibility that something will happen to cut down on the amount of spam coming from out there? If that were a possibility, then I'd stay with my original address. So, gang, if any of you have a "take" on all this, I'd appreciate your advice. Thanks & best regards, Bill p. s. Just to weigh in, I also consider the ability to change the subject of an email as one of the essentials of an email program. Of course, you can always resend the email to yourself with a new subject, but that's so un-elegant. _______________________________oOo______________________________ William D.
