Guru, I'm beginning to feel very dumb.

What is POP, anyway?

I clicked your link, and at step 5, "when POPing your messages", the ATT/Yahoo e-mail (the one that excludes the spam) is set at:     Include Spam Messages.

But...but.... but.......that's the good e-mail app, that doesn't put spam in the inbox, but instead in a spam box.

Its URL is http://us.mg###.mail.yahoo.com 

The (only) e-mail account in OE under Accounts says pop.att.yahoo.net

If there were an option in OE to "exclude spam messages", I might be OK (if NIS 2012 didn't negate that, also).

Is there such an option in OE?
