Recently, I realized that there are actions that can be performed in response to junk mail when in Hotmail, that you can’t do in when accessing Hotmail through Outlook.

If you access your GMail account through POP3 in Outlook, or another application, you might still want to occassionally log in to www.gmail.com.
Reason: GMail’s spam filtering might be keeping something that is not spam but looks like it, and you will only see it at the website interface (unless I’m wrong about that.)

The reason for taking your contacts seriously as pointed out in this book: You have a ready supply of people whose interests/professions you know about, whom you could contact when you’ve run into valuable information they might be interested in.
This allows you to build a network of very grateful people ( and grateful people help you out also, but this is not about trying to get something, folks), whom you now have contacts for in a permanent sytem.
