Hi ppl,
I am an user of IMail for the past 2 years. Have been thinking
of using a client email program to view/store the emails that have
been piled up. I have the emails in .mbx format. Is there any
email software help achieve my goal?
thanx in anticipation

The only one I've seen reading this *.mbx seems to be the IMail client

(import) the *.mbx - no success (yet).

My point is not be fooled into thinking that you are making a significant
contribution to reducing spam by spending time on header filtering rules.
Above hit rate of 500/29000 = 000.017% :))
Or, using new math,
We see a hit rate here of about 29% (or 00029% or 0.29) on our

What I'm talking about, specifically, is filtering on Subject: headers.

/path/to/grep.exe ^Subject: /tmp/harvest_bcc_headers.txt
Another advantage of building an archive of headers is that when you think
you've come up with a World Champeen spam-massacring magik phrase to filter
on, you can scan your headers archive to see how many hits it would produce.
