I am a member of my local group, now called Freegle. I have set it up so
that emails come direct into their own folder within Outlook Express.
Filters dump 'Taken' and 'Wanted' messages into 'Deleted Items'. Works
fine. Just remember that these groups are run by volunteers and don't
really appreciate 'advice'.

I've done that before too (though TAKEN messages are useful IMO so I didn't
dump those). But that only works if the server bothers to send the message!


It has very little to do with "the server". It has everything to do
with the moderators, who are all volunteers. They aren't sitting
poised at their PC waiting for your message to come through so it can
be posted out to the group within seconds.

If you feel that the moderators are too slow, why don't you volunteer
yourself? I guarantee you would be warmly welcomed.

Or perhaps you just want to moan and whine about a service that is
provided entirely by volunteers, and is entirely free of charge.
