spam box and aliases

[#1]

I look at my e-mails with IMAP and only just noticed that I dont have a spam box on my alias redirect Odds address.
been into manage my accounts and cant find how to create one, just to see if any go there.
How do I look?

As far as I'm aware the mail system automatically creates a Spam folder for each mailbox if it needs one. So the absence of such a folder implies that mailbox has not received any spam. Two of my mailboxes don't have Spam folders. Aliases wouldn't have a separate Spam folder, only the target mailbox.

[#3]

The creation of the 'Spam' folder is conditional and based on the following:

• You have the option enabled to move spam messages to the Spam folder under the 'Spam' tab in Manage My Mail (you have).


• An incoming message has been identified by the system as spam and an attempt made to move it to the Spam folder.

If the latter hasn't happened then you won't see a Spam folder in your subscription list.
As it happens though, you do have a Spam folder and a message has been sat in there since Saturday. You'll probably need to tell your mail client to subscribe to the folder though.

eventually did it Bob, that e-mail is in my blocked addresses list, but the last two are still slipping through

Hi pierre, are you still getting messages from @zanytop.com or is it just the last entry on your blocked list that doesn't work?  Have you tried terminating the last entry with a carriage-return to see if that makes a difference?
All the best
Chris
edit: sorry, this might belong on your other thread....
