Re: [Evolution] junk mail filter
My Bad. I did not have Show status bar checked. I do get a Learning Junk message there. So I suppose things are working and the junk I'm getting is just too diverse for the spam filter to have learned enough yet. Sorry for the confusion.

If so, you probably just need to train your filter some more. If not, are you sure you actually have a filter installed? Note that Evo doesn't have a built-in filter, it just uses SpamAssassin so you need to have that as well. Alternatively, there are patches for using Bogofilter instead. poc ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
