If they are there, they are most likely spam. Just click on one and see
if the "Not-Junk" lights up. I'd delete them all, empty your trash,
close Evo & start fresh. Can't hurt & you'll certainly soon find out if
it is working.

BTW: do you have the catch-all turned on for your email address? If so,
turn it off & I'm sure that you'll stop receiving so many.
