Last week I emailed someone and they immediately replied. I didn't know about it―the reply part, I mean―until today. That's because they were apparently flagged as spam and thus caught in my spam filter. Not for any reason I can see.
Anyway, I moved the replay email from the spam folder to my regular inbox and I'm hoping that means any future replies will just show up as a regular email. But it just goes to show that the phenomenon of letters being lost or delayed isn't a thing of the past.

How to train your email, an example.
Usually, my spam filters work very well but every once in a while something similar happens and I'll put whatever it is in my inbox before deleting it (considering it's been read, that is).
I'm glad to have g-mail for my deadzone emails - as in places in which I have a mild interest but don't want to hear from regularly like certain websites and all political parties - but I don't much like the setup of the service for regular communication. Although many people rely on it (Belle uses it, as does Larry, and even Geraldine in Ireland) I happen to like fastmail. Besides, it confuses people to hear the 'fm' in my address rather than 'com'. Keeps them guessing.
Email training is a necessity, it appears.
Yeah, moving it from the spam folder to the general inbox seems to work pretty well, although eventually you might have to repeat the trick.
I have a gmail registered but eventually stopped using it when the things I was using it for no longer applied. To the point where I forgot the login, although maybe I could get it back if I wanted it. Fastmail is an unusual one all right. The .fm domain name means "Federated States of Micronesia", a country I had plum forgotten existed.
