It seems like for about the past month when I send out emails rarely do I

about half the e-mails I've sent to a certain person, at least, seem to
have
ended up probably in their deleted items folder or perhaps their junk mail
file... Should this give me some sort of clue?

No, just have her mark it "Not Spam" if she finds one in the spam
folder.

That will stop it or maybe open a Yahoo account just for her.



Actually, I think it more likely that she just ignores some of them due to
whatever, gets busy and then never gets around to answering them because
they get buried. If one gets put into the junk mail and if it isn't removed
as "not junk" then all will end up in the junk mail bin so I would get no
replies at all but I do get some replies. Maybe this is just how the younger
generation operates?

I have a Yahoo account set up under a different name and it does work quite
well. I also have a Hotmail account but they don't do POP mail without
paying them for it. I have another mail account called Lavabit which is a
free POP and SMTP server and it has been working quite well using Windows
Mail as the client.

If you do any remailers and mail2news gateways you need a POP and SMTP
server in the Quicksilver client and lavabit is perfect for that. I also
found a little program called Free SMTP server (softstack.com) that is a
resident mail server on your very own hard drive. It wiggles it's way right
through your ISP and sends mail but, alas it's limited to ten emails a day.
