Retired18, I've noticed a very large number of spam/junk messages suddenly as well. About the same time messages no longer displayed graphics in HTML formatted emails. Most of the spam emails have random cryptic characters/numbers appended to the end of the subject line, so they are easy to identify and delete immediately.
