I tried accessing my mailbox from alice&#8217;s web interface and, while it was true that there were no new emails, I noticed that there were about 860 emails in the junk folder, even though I had never set up a junk filter. A lot of emails were spam but a number of other messages were not. The website says that the emails in the junk folder are automatically deleted after 20 days. Now I&#8217;m wondering how many emails I lost all these years thanks to such a smart junk filter (which I hope I have disabled for good now).<\/p>\n<p>If you sent me an email and didn&#8217;t receive a reply, it is very likely that alice&#8217;s spam filter is to blame.<\/p>\n<p><strong>P.S. If you sent me an email on adding the latest release of the graphics driver<\/strong> then I&#8217;ve definitely received a lot of them but I haven&#8217;t replied yet since I&#8217;ve been very busy with some new projects which I hope to be able to show soon.
