Are You Checking Your Spam Folder Regularly?

As you may already know, I have a newsletter called, "The Everyday Web Expert eNewsletter." Well my wife is signed up to get my newsletter but hasn't received the last two that I sent out. She was trying to figure out why she wasn't getting it. I took a look at her email account with yahoo and noticed that the SpamGuard was turned on. This allows the spam folder not to get overwhelmed with junk email by deleting the emails automatically that are "classified" as spam. Therefore, she wasn't getting my newsletters. The point is, although your spam folder does pick up 99% of email that is junk an spammy, there are instances that it does pickup some ligit emails. You want to make sure that you are checking your spam folder regularly so that in case it is picking up a ligit email, you won't be left in the dark. So make sure to check it about once a week so that you don't miss that important email!
