The time factor really isn't issue for me; the time it takes to identify
and delete junk-mail is neglible compared to the time I take in reading
H-F, for instance.

And it really isn't all that annoying (unless they send the email multiple
times).

The problem is that of using limited resources which are being used as if
they are unlimited.

See the "Too Much Mail!" page at

One email package for Win32 that I've been seeing a lot of good things
about is Calypso from my previous employer MCS Inc

  http://www.mcsdallas.com/

According to the reviews and user comments I've seen, it seems
especially well suited to managing large amounts of email and includes
management features that us Unix users have been enjoying for over ten
years :-), but is also in a easy-to-use GUI with configuration
"wizards" and includes the standard bells-and-whistles like a
spell-checker, URL hot links, and auto-decoding of MIME attachments.
