Anyone else finding that an increasingly large amount of important personal e-mails end up in the spam folder?

I had this for a while and fixed it.

You need to go into your "spam settings" in your inbox, but I think what I did, was dump all the spam settings for a while and still currently dump a spam message into the spam folder, without reading it. As most of them have similar titles they are not difficult to spend 5 minutes dumping them.
It`s interesting to note that I only get spam from my AOL account, on my business account, I have never had a spamming message ever and I only set that one up to buy the domain name, it just came with the e mail facility.

Therefore, I recommend "Squirrel mail" as it has been problem and spam free.
