Good suggestions. I have changed step 3 to make it even easier:
* Create a label (mine is "SpamSpam").
* Select all messages in Spam, assign the label "SpamSpam".
* Click on "Not Spam"
* POP your messages (messages in labels will be popped)
* Open the Label "SpamSpam"
* Select all messages
* Click on "Report Spam"
* Open Spam
* Click on "Permanently Delete all spam"
* Done!
* Create a label (mine is "SpamSpam").
* Select all messages in Spam, assign the label "SpamSpam".
* Click on "Not Spam"
* POP your messages (messages in labels will be popped)
* Open the Label "SpamSpam"
* Select all messages
* Click on "Report Spam"
* Open Spam
* Click on "Permanently Delete all spam"
* Done!
HOW do you POP your messages? I mean, the pop is all set-up in my spamcop.net e-mail for Gmail Incoming Mail (POP3) Server - requires SSL: pop.gmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 995
... but how do I make spamcop.net go get it now? How do I make spamcop go ahead and pull the e-mails off the server?
