Use Gmail to filter Spam

Spam on web hosts in San Diego such as roadrunner email can be a nightmare.  The built in junk mail is average at best.  Use gmail to filter messages then ultimately switch out of RR altogether.

1. Set up a free gmail account.
2. Check your existing POP account with Gmail under 'accounts' in the settings.
3. Tell it to go to a particular label, create one before or use the email address it automatically makes.
4. You can also send and receive your old account thru the gmail website.  You can also have your email client such as Outlook or Thunderbird check your email for you via gmail settings. Continue to send with your old account if you like.

This is a great way to switch to gmail.

See attached , the RED is the POP account it's checking,  All of these messages were delivered to the person's old regular Roadrunner account.  Gmail's Spam caught them!
