Hi,

I received a spam message in my Thunderbird client addressed to my gmail account. Thunderbird is set up to download messages from gmail and leave the messages on gmail. Every so often I log on to gmail.com and clean up. I logged on to gmail.com to look for this particular message and couldn't find it. I've used Thunderbird this way for many years, many thousands of messages, and this has NEVER happened before. Also, the spam message shows a time of 8:45 PM which was several hours after the time I received it. How could this message get to Thunderbird without hitting gmail.com? Thanks so much for any help!

It occurs to me that the problem with the time may have caused gmail.com to sort the message incorrectly. When I logged on I just looked at today's messages to see if the spam was there and it wasn't. Possibly it was somewhere else. Unfortunately, I bulk deleted all messages. I should have done a text search to try to find the message before I assumed it wasn't there. Sorry!
