For those that are having problems with their ISP's server marking mail as JUNK before you even retrieve anything, you might be better served if you disable your ISP's spam filter entirely, download everything, and let your smart APP or email client program apply your own filters.
The disadvantage of this is that you'll be amazed at the quantity of email you now get with the vast majority of it ending up in your local JUNK filter. Those that may still be on a slow connection or even dial-up may find this too time consuming. The advantage is that you can decide what is and what isn't to be treated as junk, block all future mail from the same sender, and with a little practice install your own filters which can separate your mail into different folders on your local storage media. Oh, one final caveat. If you are downloading everything, make sure you have a good antivirus program which can sniff out your email attachments and links.

I have to periodically sign on to my email account through my browser to find these. I can then mark them as "Not Spam." Hopefully, at some point the ISP's junk mail filter will recognize my "Not Spam" designation and no longer so designate them. Depending on your local email program, it might have a setting to let you download more than just the ones in the server "Inbox" folder, including the remote "Junk" folder.
