He's done all that, nothing helps, my messages are not reaching his machine. As I said, this is a common enough problem with Google for them to devote many pages to the issue. Perhaps Google feels the same way about me that I feel about Google, and treats my messages the way I treat theirs. > In the same way you could benefit from using spam filter?

I use two, Pair's and Mail's, but that does not stop me having to go through scores of spam every day to find the occasional genuine message. I am now transferring all mail from people not in my address book and not in my previous recipients list to a new box and if that contains only a few genuine message after a week will then delete all such mail on arrival.
