Note that if you are like me and want to use POP that doesn't stop you
from using Gmail. I have all my e-mail forwarded to Gmail from the
various addresses I have and then use a POP connection to download the
mail to my desktop. I just check the Gmail spam filter every few days
(it does a good job).
It has the added benefit that I can access my e-mail from anywhere or
find an old one that I've deleted from my desktop, without forcing me to
do web-based e-mail which I don't prefer.

Except we have seen Comcast blocking good mail as spam. Turning up your
settings will probably make that problem even worse. I would not trust
Comcast at all.
Agreed. Even with the spam filtering turned off, they still filter email
and incompetently at that. I switched to Gmail and never looked back.
If you decide to stay on POP3 email, Spampal is a good filter. Thunderbird
has a good native filter as well. Do yourself a favor and dump OE.
