Evolution is marking messages as spam because a) you have spam filtering enabled, and b) your spam filter isn't trained correctly. If you would rather not use spam filtering in Evolution but just rely on your mail provider, you can turn it off in Preferences->Mail Preferences->Junk. If you do want to use spam filtering within Evolution, you need to train the filter correctly. Evo has two optional spam filters, Bogofilter and Spamassassin, which are configured as plugins. Presumably you already have one of them or Evo would not be filtering spam. In many Linux distros these are optional packages so you may need to install the one you want if it's different from what you already have, then enable it using Preferences->Plugins. The details of how to train them depends on the specific filter. Look in the filter package docs for more information. As a general rule, Bogofilter is more suitable for workstations while Spamassassin is more designed for mail servers. poc _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
