Category: Outlook Group: Next Release (example) >Status: Closed Priority: 5 Submitted By: Jon H. Peterson (jonhp) Assigned to: Mark Hammond (mhammond) Summary: managing spam folder Initial Comment: hi, i have read a bunch from the sourceforge/spambayes pages and if this is a duplicate, then i appologize up front for not finding it. i think users, me included, need some help in managing the space consumed by spambayes spam folder. it would appear from what i have read, that keeping some spam is helpful for retraining purposes. but from my experience training is best when the ham/spam training sets are about balanced -- since i keep ham in lots of folders, it is very hard to get the right set of folders with a good cross section of candidates selected for the ham part to balance the spam folder contents (this could lead to another discussion of making training easier for the user...later perhaps). and it is possible for a ham to get lost in the spam folder (although i quite checking some time ago as it has never been a productive exercise). so there must be some balance between all spam since the beginning of time and an empty spam folder. to begin with i don't know if the messages should be deleted by age or by spam rating or some other criteria. one also has to consider what the "right" amount of spam for training should be (and I have no idea as an end user). i do think they should go to the deleted folder and not to the bit bucket . i am thinking that some high water mark (number of messages to be left in the spam folder) along with one or more user selecteable criteria would make an automatic spam folder management scheme. if you are tempted to write a response which describes a process i could follow, wouldn't it be better to codify that response as a new management feature of spambayes for all to take advantage of?
