Deleted 7.01 and loaded 7.1 from Netsape CD. Only loaded Navigator/Mail.
Everything appears to be working fine after several days of use.

I can't figure out how to use the new marking of mail with JUNK or NOT JUNK. After the mail is marked, what happens? If I still have to manually delete each item, what is gained?

I don't know if this site will work for two posts in a row. It has been so slow.
The junk settings work, but you have to set up from Tools in Mail., so that the e-mails go in the Junk folder, at least. What has not worked, for me, is the automatic cleanup after a certain number of days. But, it is easy and fun to watch the emptying of the entire folder. I will stop here.

I only have time to give a brief answer, so hopefully someone else might fill in the gaps. My Junk Mail Controls work well in Mozilla 1.4.

Open mail. Highlight the account of interest. Click on Tools|Junk Mail Controls. Fill in the boxes for "Enable Junk Mail Controls", "Do not mark...", and "Move incoming messages determined to be junk." Then fill in the location that you wish the junk mail to be delivered to. (I am currently sending all junk mail from all accounts to Junk on Local Folders.) Then you probably want to check the boxes "Automatically delete junk messages older than ___ days" and "When I manually mark messages as junk" move them to the "Junk" folder (or delete them). Click on OK. I think that it needs to create this the "Junk" folder by itself, so you may not want to help matters out by creating this folder yourself. (I'm not really sure about this.)

If the Junk Mail Controls are enabled and it still seems not to work, try this: turn the Controls off, close Netscape, open Netscape, reactivate Controls, close Netscape. It will take several days for the Controls to learn what Junk is, so you must train it carefully until it learns it well.

This advice comes from an uncertain source, so post back with any more details so that others or I might try to help you.

Thanks for the heads up on where to look for the JUNK MAIL controls. Since everything else has been located under PREFERENCES, that is where I went. I will post on the success of the learning feature.

Beware, for the future, that Mozilla Firebird and Thunderbird put their goodies in Tools.

After a couple of weeks, the program has learned well. Only 1 item was marked junk when it wasn't. It is fun watching the JUNK automatically go from the INBOX to JUNK folder and then TRASH and then Empty without my help.
