Thanks for helping - as it turns out - Detect and Repair finally did work -
I had never seen that before - when it had been mentioned earlier - I though
the person meant to search in Help for Detect and Repair -
Even if I had seen it, I would have thought it was for repairing the
mailbox - not something like this.

What might have been a reason for my junk mail filter no longer working,
all of a sudden - -

I even changed the setting for Junk Mail from Low to High.....still, it's
not filtering anything at all.
