If Gmail's spam "folder" is empty, that would indicate that Gmail is *not* filtering spam. > I've created filters for each spam (including subject, sender, and > recipient info) with instructions to delete immediately to no avail.. > I > still get multiple spams daily from the same senders.. i'm not a > subscriber to mailing lists or websites (except for evolution-list), > and even if i were, a filter should actually filter.. > This happened on the previous version of evolution as well, so > updating > to this version didn't fix it.. > I had to delete some filters because they were starting to bog > evolution's send/receive action.. ugh > How do I get evolution to stop pulling blocked spams from gmail (that > don't appear in gmail)? Hard to know without examples. I do all my filtering on Gmail (spam and non-spam) and it works for me. A good 99% of spam is caught by Gmail's automatic recogniser rather than specific rules I set up. These rules do not immediately delete spam, they file it in the Junk folder and delete it 30 days later. I don't use Evolution filtering for anything, but if you want to do that you need to train the specific spam filter (e.g. Bogofilter or Spamassassin). You can't do that from the Gmail side. You'd also be wise to avoid the two sides from stepping on each other's toes. poc _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
