Should I be worried?

I used to get all sorts of spam email showing up in my 'regular' email. I'd always mark it as spam, then delete it. Sometimes there'd be a dozen or more of them. But for the last week or two, I haven't received any, and I'm wondering if I'm also missing 'real' emails. I know, I know, I should be thankful for the reprieve but it does make me wonder.

I hope you are not missing real emails. It is possible that the SPAM filter of the email is working better.

If it continues, you might want to call your ISP.

@BarBaraPrz Just to check to make sure you are getting all of your good email.

I don't pay alot of attention to my emails, you shouldn't worry too much. Less is better on that front. The spammers like to phone and text people it seems. But none of it is good.

I don't text and don't get too many phone calls, from anyone, not just spammers.

I believe that if people really want to contact me, they'll send me a text message. I rarely check my email inbox... maybe once a month, if I happen to think about it. *shrug*

@BarBaraPrz Usually, I only have two or three emails in a month.

As far as I know I don't think you should be worried about this unless you are expecting an inmportant email taht is not coming then you should make inquiries,

One thing I don't think I would ever miss is spam email! But I do know what you mean. Check your junk mail, to be sure nothing you want to see is in there. Sometimes, that's where it goes.

@BarBaraPrz Oh, my. I don’t think my spam folder is ever empty. That is strange!

I used to get a lot of spam email in my email, too. It since quit for the most part--but sometimes "good" mail goes into my spam folder. I don't know what that's about.
