Operation: Laptop Jayne — email woes

Well, for some reason Spamkiller isn’t blocking any spam. Sometimes it tags stuff as “[spam]” but sends it on. It doesn’t even tag or block the things I told it specifically was spam. I’m not sure why it’s not working on the new computer but it’s annoying.

Meanwhile, Thunderbird is getting on my nerves. I set up filters, but it still dumps half the stuff in the inbox and half of the stuff in junk — even the stuff I specifically said wasn’t junk. Plus, it marks stuff in the inbox as “junk” but doesn’t filter it to the junk folder. I can run the filters manually on the inbox. This sends 50% of the filtered messages to the junk directory and the rest to their right places.

I’m completely lost on what’s set up wrong. Normally I’m a genius when setting this stuff up. It works on my old computer…when my old computer is working…

By the way, I have an old “borrowed” copy of Adobe PhotoShop that I had been loaned by a former employer and I want to purchase something new to work with but I checked out the price of Adobe Photoshop and wow $600! Is there another cheaper software package that allows me to change colors of things in pictures and save pictures into other formats?

   I use Photoshop Elements which does most of the good stuff and is a fraction of the price…

   Thanks, I’ll check that out. I really just need a way to touch up photos and change the color of icons for web graphics.
