   Yes, it appears to have been only a temporary glitch, which happened   
   to coincide with their warning message, and when I tried again next   
   day I was able to open my mail and delete my spam again. It's not my   
   main address, so there's not much there that's important.

   I reverted to an earlier version of Firefox when it became so bloated   
   that I was having to wait several minutes after clicking on something   
   while it swapped to disk.   
      
   They keep promising me a "better experience" if I upgrade, but waiting   
   ages for something to open is not my idea of a "better experience". Of   
   course if I were rich, as website developers assume everyone to be, I   
   could just buy a new computer every 6 months, to have the bigger   
   membory and more powerful processor needed to cope with software   
   bloat. and, of course, that's what keeps them in business.   
      
   There's nothing that newer versions of Agent do that my present   
   version doesn't do just as well, at least nothing that I need. And   
   when they changed the F key for Follow-Up to R for reply, thus   
   introducing an extra step into the process, I reverted to an older   
   version.   
      
   Sometimes new software does things better, and sometimes it doesn't.
