Not just now, but good to know for future reference.

SC Born and raised and always lived just outside of Winnipeg.

We drove from Toronto to Calgary one winter, and thought we would
NEVER get out of Ontario. The prairies were like a huge breath of
(cold) fresh air and an end to Ontario claustrophobia! Only stopped
briefly in Winnipeg, but love the prairies (my mother was born and
raised in Moose Jaw).

As a brief explanation from what I have been able to glean over the
last while:

Average Maximal Minimal - do nothing unless you are using more than
one spam filter, then it would use the average of the two scores, the
Maximum of the two scores or the Minimum.

Delete the message if score is greater than - should only be used if
set quite high, so you can have a chance to review messages before
they are deleted.

Move a message to junk if score is greater than - moves the message to
your junk folder, either in each account or a common folder.

Mark stored junk mail as read - is what you must have originally had
selected to mark your mail as read.

Move messages marked as junk to the Junk folder - is for manually
marked mail.

Use the Common Junk folder - ie instead of one Junk folder per
account.

If you use more than one computer to download email and you get the
same Junk mail on both computers, because you leave messages on
server, there is a trick to only having to deal with the Junk on one
computer. Let me know if this is of interest.

Hello,

How do I create a filter that sends messages to a common folder
Unread? They already go to the folder without a filter but are marked
Read.

Thanks in advance.

No, it is set to 15 seconds. This is a common folder so not really
attached to a specific account though... right?

Thanks Terry. Any other ideas?

Don't know if I understand your question but...I can change this
option for each of my accounts.  It is found going through the
account/properties menu.  So I assumed it is for a specific account.

How do I create a filter that sends messages to a common folder
Unread?

When I create filter the messages are moved to a folder and they are
shown as unread in that folder.  Have you created filters?
