Evolution also has a button for flagging mail as junk, causing it to be moved to a junk folder. It also has some options for turning on spam checking on incoming mail, and supposedly integrates with SpamAssassin. However, I've never actually seen it do anything - it never seems to actually recognize anything as obvious as Nigerian scams or this plague of ebay/paypal emails. Flagging things as junk moves it to the Junk folder, but it doesn't make it any better at catching the next one. Anyone know how that's supposed to work? Maybe a setup detail that distros automate?
