What you did had nothing to do with the amount of spam received or not
received.

I have three email accounts and use to get quite lot of rubbish email

I changed the "Account Names" leaving
out the eMails addresses as the same.

I mean by "AccountName" is going to Menu
Tools Accounts Mail Tab
select "Account" (1st Col) Properties and
chantge the "MailAccount" from Smith
to John ( may be some unusal name) and do not alter anything else.
Click Apply OK.

It wood appear to me that all those bad
guys have gone away.

I am not an expert and guru of these things.
The result is lot of relief to me .

I would appreciate to have some comments on
this from the well qualified and expert users as
I may be totally wrong?
