What does a gold start appearing to the right of my email address on received emails mean? It would be helpful to have a glossary of all the obscure heiroglyphics used by TB.

That means your address book. Click any of these yellow stars and you will get an option to edit the contact entry. "Edit" will take you to the place in your address book where the contact is stored. My prediction is that it will be in the address book named "Collected Addresses".

Hey Vumbo

The star indicates that person who sent the email is in your contacts - it's been a feature in TB for quite a long time!

Thanks, but what does "in your contacts" mean? A site I have contacted before? I get an enormous amount of SPAM, but I also have contacted numerous internet site while unwisely using my usual email address. So I'm going to change both my personal email address and the one I use for internet sites. Possibly I will go to a PW Manager for them. Any constructive suggestions are welcome.
