Oh sorry, yes, 'Read Mail is a folder I created to which I move all messages
which don't end up in 'Deleted Items'. I also have a SPAM folder and have
created a message rule which dumps all mail there which my ISP's server has
marked SPAM in the subject line.

May I draw your attention to my last paragraph regarding LiveUpdate? I
prefer not to have any Microsoft components automatically updated. Maybe I'm
paranoid but I have an instinctive distrust of Microsoft which is why I use
third-party antivirus and firewall software. So if I scrap Avast's email
protection am I vulnerable?

But what about this Read Mail folder? Outlook Express doesn't have such a
folder unless you create it.
