By what twisted logic can a system where desired email is found when " 
they have to wade through a lot of spam"?

Have you ever inadvertently deleted a desired item in the middle of a 
delete-yes-delete-yes-delete-yes-delete-yes-delete-yes-delete-yes 
sequence that went on for "a lot of spam"?

How many times?  Did you recover all of the desired items?  How do you 
know that?

To me a reliable system is one that delivers what I want and only what I 
want every time.  And having to pick the pepper out of the flysh*t is 
not my idea of "reliable".
