Ah, Brian...

 I think you hit the nail on the head.  I have recently upgraded my Avast. Never thought of that. I will search Avast to see if I can find a spam filter.

Thank you so much, again.  I think you have rescued me.

A few years ago some of my emails on Pegasus began coming through with the label "**Spam**" attached to them. I use Gmail and I set up no filters for spam because Gmail was tossing too many of my emails into spam when they were not spam.  So, I removed all my spam filters in Gmail so that all of my mail would come to my inbox and I could just delete any spam from there.

But Pegasus was still marking some of my mails with **Spam** and I struggled to stop that labeling. I finally figured out how to stop it and that didn't happen until again recently.  So, now some of my mail is marked with **Spam** when it should not be and I can't remember how I got rid of that label before and can't find any instructions for how to do it now.

 Can someone tell me how to get rid of that label?  I don't want Gmail or Pegasus mail marking any mail as Spam or pulling them out. I want to be free to make that decision on my own.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Judi 

Use the Raw view to examine the headers of one of these spam tagged messages to see if you can identify what is tagging the messages as spam.  For instance, my domain host runs SpamAssassin on mail coming into my hosted mailboxes and adds message headers that look like this:

X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.4.1 (2015-04-28) on
 host215.hostmonster.com
X-Spam-Flag: YES
X-Spam-Level: ********
X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=8.8 required=8.0 tests=DKIM_SIGNED,
 HTML_IMAGE_RATIO_04,HTML_MESSAGE,INVALID_DATE,MIME_HTML_ONLY,
 RCVD_IN_MSPIKE_BL,RCVD_IN_MSPIKE_L5,RDNS_NONE,SPF_PASS,SUBJ_DOLLARS,
 URIBL_DBL_SPAM shortcircuit=no autolearn=disabled version=3.4.1
 

Also, use the Gmail web interface to see if the messages are arriving in your Gmail already tagged.  If you aren't leaving mail on the server you could temporarily do that until one of these messages arrives in Pegasus Mail and then compare the two.

Hi, Brian,

Thank you so much for responding to my plea for help.

Here is some of the raw text from one of the emails with the Spam tag:

I do keep my emails on the Gmail server and then delete them manually.  The **Spam** tag does not exist in the mail on the Gmail server, nor does it show in my Gmail app on my Android phone.  It only shows up in my Pegasus Mail on my computer.  And, strangely, this particular mail is from someone in my LinkedIn group and I have some other mail from him through the group which has this tag and some which does not, so it makes no sense to me.  The problem doesn't stem from LinkedIn because I get this tag in other mail from other sources. I've only been able to trace it to Pegasus. I want no spam filters at all, but Gmail culls out what it considers spam anyway. That, however, doesn't seem to affect Pegasus. I thought I had Pegasus set for no spam filters at all.

I have tried to set my Gmail on their server and on my Android so that there are NO Spam Filters, but Gmail still catches some keywords and dumps them in a spam folder anyway.  However, none of them have the **Spam** tag in the title, so that makes no sense either.  And those which do have the **Spam** in the title have NOT gone into the spam folder.  I'm really perplexed.

Years ago I had a similar experience and found a way in Pegasus to turn off this function, but I can't find it again. It's really annoying and sometimes I share these mailings with others and don't want them indicated as Spam.

I hope that this can be resolved again.

Again, thank you so much for trying to rescue me.

Looks like you are using Avast and have the Antispam capability enabled.
