Suggestion Box

Thank you for bringing back the related links.

I'd now like to suggest something about Spam. I've gotten four in the past day and while I know that's not much, I usually get one every month or so, not four in one day. That's fine and a fact of life but it's always a disappointment to log on, see I have new mail, and then find out it's just Spam.

I'm wondering if there could be

A. some kind of option (under account settings?) of changing it, manually, so mail that has been marked as "Spam" DOES NOT show up on the main screen as new mail, and the user will only see it if they go directly into their inbox and scroll down (where it has the message saying the Spam has been put in the trash bin); or

B. two "new mail" messages in the sidebar; one for actual new mail, and one for new "Spam" mail.

An example is Yahoo! Mail, which only tells you, on the main screen, if you have new mail if it's not "bulk mail" (Spam). You go into your mailbox and only there does it tell you that you have both new mail AND Spam, in separate folders. But only the actual mail shows up as "new" on the main screen (which in Writing.com's case would be any screen not in the inbox).

Just so users don't get angry if an actual message ends up deleted without their knowledge, if they were to choose option A, there could be a Writing.com disclaimer that they do so at their own risk.

Just a thought, to avoid getting excited over new mail and then finding just a piece of Spam!
