I am new to Outlook, Spider Tech.
I always used Outlook Express; got a new computer
with Windows 7, no more Outlook Express.

I have no idea about what you are asking in your response.
I have a Pop3 account with Suddenlink.net. I don't believe they have any kind of spam filter, but not sure. I suppose I could call and ask.

Exchange Platform? I don't know.

I can access my mail by going direct to the web site
Suddenlink.net and logging in.

I have noticed that names on the Safe Sender list are
being retained. I have just started making the list up,
and so far the additions are not disappearing.

I appreciate your help, and I'm sorry I can't give better
answers to your questions.
