Mark,
Have you gotten a knowledgeable computer person to adjust YOUR spam setting?

I don't know what you're talking about either. Adjust setting so I can get an email from the President of the US? His sons?
How about if we adjust Google, Facebook ,Twitter so they don't have a monopoly on fake Lefty news?

Mark,
What is the price you pay for using Google? Oh wait Google email is free. All of that said I almost never use my Google email account and have no filters setup for my other email accounts in my email program (ThunderBird).

Okay..good point. Suggest an alternative...I don't have cable. I travel all summer, and satellite is off budget

I'm surprised as anyone that you're not rich by now, Mark!



But I digress - I think the point that Stan was trying to make, and the website I shared to help you (You're welcome!) is that you can adjust the "spam" settings so you can receive these e-mails where you want them - IN YOUR IN-BOX.


Let's suppose, just for arguments sake, that you're not a personal friend of Donald J. Trump (and if you are, my apologies). Do you have any idea how many other people were sent those "fund raising" messages? Hundreds, maybe tens of thousands, of people on e-mail lists maintained by the campaign or a PAC or the RNC. Most of the time those kind of "blasts" or "bulk" e-mails end up in your "Spam" folder, by design, because most folks don't want to be bothered by scams or get rich quick schemes. Remember all those e-mails you got from that guy in the Caribbean asking you for you banking information so he could send you the money that he was trying to smuggle out of Panama? Of course you don't, they wound up in your SPAM FOLDER, just like they should have! You should also clean-up the folder when it gets that full, Mark!

You can also adjust the parameters of G-mail to always flag messages with "TRUMP" in the "From" or "Subject Line" and then they'll all wind up in your In-Box, just like you want them to. You can also save the e-mail addresses of Eric or Lara or DJTJ to your contacts list, although that isn't perfect because there is no telling how many different people are sending out these blasts.


G-mail works OK, you just need to "tweak it"!


Anyway, best of luck and remember "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean someone ISN'T out to get you"!

Mark,
Since you are using GMail you should be checking your Spam folder regularly. I don't know how many times I have had to have people check their Spam folder to find a missing email.

As Lew said get your filters adjusted (this may not be a time deal) and clean out the spam folder regularly.

I am old school and still use NEWS GROUPS About 4 years ago they became unusable until I filtered out everything about both Trump and Hillary.
