[MlMt] Retrieving settings

[James Coffey]

Very true, but Gmail’s aren’t that robust for my needs, especially 
in sorting incoming mail and sending to junk mail where someone used my 
email by mistake (a disadvantage of an address that doesn’t have #’s 
after it) and so I get their mail.

SpamSieve works well for the normal spam and some of the misdirected 
mail.

My main use is to sort mail to folders so I know when I get certain 
emails, such as from clients.

For example, someone named Jax used my email by mistake in a job 
application and no I get all kinds of spam for that person. A 
standardized testing association sends me questions to review now and 
then despite my telling them I am not the droid they are looking for.

The flip side is sometimes it is interesting, like when I somehow got 
cc’d: on a lawsuit involving a major company. I’m sure they were 
embarrassed when I pointed out they were sending confidential papers to 
a random third party.
