Pat,
have you thought about downloading MailWasher? This way you can see your e-mail as it is still on your server.

Or another thought - you have WEBMAIL from Sympatico??
Some months ago Sympatico started spam filtering procedure. Up until recently it had reduced the spam to maybe 1 or 2 a day. I don't know if they stopped filtering or if the spam is just so enormous that it still keeps coming through. This past few weeks, I have been receiving 12-18 spams per day. My own filters aren't keeping them out this time.
I delete anything that I am not expecting, without even opening it to see what it is. Some of it is very realistic, and perhaps, may be the real thing. Tonight, for instance, there was an e-mail with the subject listed as ISP security alert #xxxx. There have also been e-mails with Microsoft listed as the sender and also called something like security alert.
I guess there is no way to check if any of these may be legit, other than opening the message. Hmmm?
