ok, so i've decided to give up screening my emails for junk ON THE SERVER (ie: before i download them) with a 2ndary program. ie: before now junkmail never reached my inbox, i killed it before.

so now i'm just gonna let thunderbird try out it's adaptive junkmail filtering. i hear you guys telling me it's good, so since i use thunderbird i may as well use it's junkmail filtering right?

so far i've got 54 junk emails, i've marked as junk, and they are sitting happily in teh junk folder. but new junk that comes in, it's only marking like %10 of it as junk so far.

how long does it take before i stop seeing junk in my inbox?

give it a couple more days. It really depends on the consitency of the spam that you recieve.

its main problem: it can only classify messages as junk, so its accuracy over time is going to be less than say, what popfile can do, since popfile requires a minimum of two categories to classify messages into.

i wish thunderbird had extensions for stuff like that. i'm not sure why it hasn't as yet. it doesn't even check mail against blacklists! even mailwasher did that.

its an adaptive classifier, not a simple binary filter.

It looks at the content of the msg, rather than the where it thinks it came from.

Sorry to butt in but wow, fliptw... thanks for the link to POPFile!

Time to train!
