I found out some few days ago that some important mails go straight into the junk.I don't understand why such mails should go into junk mail if it's that important but i can tell you that i was very lucky to have checked my junk mail box that day.

Most of the time, I just open the junk folder and skim through and check if there are some emails that I'm familiar with which aren't spam. Yeah, sometimes they do go to the junk folder and I really check them almost everyday or at least within 2-3 days. It's really tedious if you'll sifting through 100s of junk mail and you're looking for an important one that might get misdirected.

Thanks for the tip.
I try to use filters though and automatically send those emails I expect to a folder of its own. But a few emails will still end up in the junk folder accidentally.

Yep i usually check my junk mail. This has happened to me before too, it is usually new things that you have signed up to newsletters or survey sites etc. often get sent strait to the junk email list before you have even seen it. Alot of it is junk so the junk file is very useful i always have a quick browse through before i delete them.

Hi,
Whenever I check my email box (which is very frequently) when I get done with my regular inbox I check my junk email. I have a spam filter on my email which helps to separate the good from the bad but I also have to watch it because, like you, I have found things in there that are really mail I need to see.
I don't know why they go in there but they do. If I find something in there that doesn't belong and that I might receive email in the future from, I be sure and add it to my address group so it doesn't happen again.

Always. Because like what you said some important mails go to junk mails. I always check my inbox/spam/junks all of it. always do it when I check my mail.

I usually check my junk e-mail every day. I've had the same thing happen to me, where an important e-mail went into the junk folder. I usually get alot of spam, so I like to delete it so it's easier to spot things that are important when they come in.
Have a great weekend!
