My guess is that unless you ALSO have a new Airport Extreme or Time Capsule that broadcasts 802.11ac you'll see very few SSIDs that could show you the enhanced performance.
I've read that people who've bought the new base stations are seeing faster comm rates even in 802.11n, and I can report that my first gen Retina MacBook Pro is reporting Transmit Rates from MY new Airport Extreme 802.11ac router almost triple what they used to be with my old "Pizza Box" Gigabit Ethernet Airport Extreme (2nd Generation) router. Also, I'm not losing my WiFi signal as I used to.

The big thing I have a 100% better Wi-Fi signal and stay connected to it
under AC. The main thing I live in a apartment complex and have so many
access point near me. But the connection to Wi-Fi is so much better and it
might be a bit faster. I am over all happy with the new Airport Extreme.

Gmail has excellent SPAM recognition. The least "false positives" I
have ever seen.
Because I ran a busy website from 1996-200 and am on a couple hundred
YahooGroups I get 100s of legit emails every day and 1,000+ SPAM
messages a day that Google hides away in SPAM folder but unlike
hotmail, yahoo, everyone.net and many email systems I used I don't get
false positives i.e. no good mail ends up in my SPAM folder. But on
hotmail, yahoo, everyone.net, etc. a lot of legit mail (personal and
group) ended up in SPAM folder and a lot of SPAM ended up in in box.
I use Gmail's FREE domain mail i.e. I have my own domain @learnasp.com
and Gmail handles it all under the covers so I don't even have to use
an @gmail.com address.

> Basically, your suggestion boils down to "spend some time TRAINING Mail.app'
I clicked on a few incoming messages that follow the format I described earlier and landed in my INBOX folder and marked them as Junk, and I'm already seeing some of the SUBSEQUENT scum that would have made it to my inbox being diverted to the Junk folder. However, I'm nervous about making training Mail.app'
Maybe I need to look into what you're discussing about having gmail do it. As I read your post, I get the sense that I can keep my current email address but somehow take advantage of gmail's sophisticated filtering? When I went from POP to IMAP I had a nightmare configuring the IMAP folders so that everything was available to all my Macs and iOS devices. Everyone told me then that gmail has a non-standard way of handling the INBOX folder that can create problems.

If you mark that one mistake as not-junk, Mail will learn. All spam systems will make false positives. No system is perfect.
You do not need to see how Apple's Junk Mail filter works.
That is how Apple keeps it from the spammers. Since it will put suspected spam in the Junk folder, you see the results, but not it works. If the results are wrong, mark as not-junk and the filter will learn, making the filter specific to you.
Another selections, open the headers for several of the spams. Look for other common recipients that you do not know and create a rule to move emails to them to the Junk folder. It will change and you make have to make several Rules before it ends. If your ISP lets the email through, you will not lose it with Apple's Junk Mail filter. It does not delete emails, it only moves them to the Junk folder, like the one from your security system company.
You have to give it a month or two to learn you and your email patterns. If you don't give it a chance, it will never work for you. And it will continue to learn over the years. I still find unexpected emails from companies I sometimes do business with in the junk folder. But it is always when _they_ change their domain.

However, I'm nervous about making training Mail.app's Junk filter as my "total fix" because just now I had a service tech at my home working on our security system. I gave a credit card number by phone to the central monitoring station; they sent an email confirmation to my email address; Mail.app diverted THAT email to my "Junk" Folder. As I mentioned earlier, I don't know how Apple's Junk Mail filter works behind the scenes; one guess is that the confirmation was sent from <noreply@thecompanysdomain.com > (not the real domain name, of course).

I tried Apple Mail's junk filter, and it never did a good enough job for me. (I get hundreds of spam messages a day due to all of my Web sites.)
So I got this spam filter, which takes a bit of training and then it works like magic. It's the best spam filter short of a challenge/response setup:

I use an app called: Cookie from SweetP Productions. When I quit Safari, all cookies are deleted immediately except those I choose to stay.
But that calls for training. Some folk's don't seem to want to train anything. They want to use a computer like a dumb TV box. Turn on and turn their mind off.

Hello there.
For some reason the driver for my Canon 5600f scanner became uninstalled. I have tried several times to reinstall it. Each time I get a message saying that the installation was successful, but then I can't find the driver when I go to scan. A spotlight search doesn't show the driver anywhere.
Any suggestions as to what's happening? i've run disk utility, rebooted, and unplugged/replugged the scanner. Anything else I should try?
Thanks,
Barb

I had a similar situation with a Canon printer & I think that Image Capture was able to recognize & launch it. Might be worth a try.
