I noticed something curious--I sometimes check my personal mail at work on a web page hosted by my ISP; I don't see spam on it, but when I open my email program at home, the spam rolls in. What's up with that?

Originally posted by mikelomIt's the same ISP. But when I'm at work, I'm not at home, so I check it on a webpage--a 'virtual inbox' (VI), if you like. You'd think that all my emails, spam or not, would show up in the VI, but that is not the case. The same applies if I close my email program at home and open up my VI. I hope I've made myself sufficiently clear.
