I've fiddled around with the spam controls, but have not found any way to "allow email from" then fill in the blank.

There is a list of hundreds of sources the program treats as spam that are listed in alphabetical order, but I cannot find Bass Forum or Bass Resource on the list to remove it, which should allow it to be posted in the regular email rather than as spam.

I can enter addresses which I want to allow, but that would be a tedious time consuming procedure. I can lower the level for the filter, but that would let a lot of junk/spam through.

AOL is my email carrier.

It seems that I should be able to right click on email in the spam folder and a menu appear with the option to allow messages from the sender. But no, there isn't. There doesn't seem to be any simple way to prevent wanted emails from going into the spam folder.

Please help the old guy resolve this minor aggravation.

What you want to do is add the BR email accounts to your CONTACTS. That way it wont flag them as spam when you receive an email

Thanks. I put it in the address book and that seems to have resolved the issue. Another question. My old computer apparently took a hit when lightning struck the transformer in front of our home. When I turn it on it beeps, one short, followed by one long. Did a search and the results said that code was for a motherboard error/problem. The old computer worked fine, and I have some photo files I'd like to get at. It's an HP. I have a personal media drive which should have backups of all the files. I know the photos were on it.

Any idea what a motherboard for an HP Media Center PC m7680n will cost?
