Something else to consider is using another browser that is free and has a GREAT email filtering program. Very easy to use. The thing I really like about it (and I had always been a Netscape user before using this one) is that you don't have to drop out of your browser and start up your mail program to check your mail. It will even, if you wish, pop-up a window telling you that you have mail.
The browser is called NeoPlanet and (I think) the URL is http://www.neoplanet.com. If that doesn't work do a search or let me know. Oh, another thing - it is similar to the Microsoft Explorer browser to the extent that you can share "Favorites" addresses.
