Peter,

SpamBayes doesn't do anything like that. It only categorizes email based on the training you give it. It places that categorization in either a header or on the subject line of the mail, depending upon how you have it configured. As it does not have these capabilities, your problem has to derive from the mail client or something else.

In Thunderbird, check under Tools ==> Account Settings ==> Server Settings.
Look for "Leave messages on server". If the box is checked, uncheck it, and you should no longer have a backlog at the ISP.

If it is already unchecked, you will have to look for something else that may be causing the problem.

SpamBayes Proxy was leaving all the messages on my ISP POP3 server, so I was getting messages that I was at 70%, 80% of capacity, yada yada.

I made a new TB profile that directly DL'd the mail from the server and deleted all messages older than one month from the server, but perhaps there could be a SpamBayes setting that does this.
Or maybe there already is, and I'm just too dim to find it?

I am using SpamBayes Proxy Version 1.1b2 (March 6, 2010) (binary), with version 2.5.2 (release25-maint, Feb 23 2008, 14:19:11) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] of Python; my operating system is Windows 5.1.2600.2 (Service Pack 3), and Thunderbird 10.0.2. I have trained 712 ham and 459 spam. THAT part works great. I installed it back in the distant past when the TB addon didn't always install reliably.
Thanks for a great tool.
