Hi All!

I haven't used YAM on my X5000 in over a year and am about to reconnect with my ISP's mail server after a prolonged time with no email downloads. Any suggestions on how I can handle the expected flood of emails?

Thanks,

I understand such a burden as dealing with all that email. First I would put some filters in place if you know a few common emails addresses. I find in YAM it's not the easiest to set up as you need to create dirs by hand then get the filter working. I always seem to have trouble setting up what should be a simple filter as obvious emails keep getting missed. You can apply the filter for downloaded mail as well so this could be an option to sort it out.

Apart from that you could use the selection window to select what to download and what to delete. Don't know about your ISP but mine times out after a minute or so which may not work well.

I also set it somewhere to only download emails under 25K in size. Don't know if yours are large. But using a limit can knock out HTML emails which could be spam.

I haven't used YAM to download for a month. Which is only a smidgen of 12. So when I got back into it I just wanted to press download first and sort it out later.

@Hypex

Thanks for yours and Niels suggestion about using YAM's filters. Since I already had some set up I went ahead with the download. There was only a little over 5,000 emails to download so it went fairly quickly. The largest amount (a little over 2,000) were sorted into my Team*Amiga folder. Only about 500 were left in the Incoming folder.

Again thanks for your help,
