I'm sorry ~Zed, I must be a little thick. I did go read the evolution-hackers list archives back to last September or so and saw all the discussion of how spam filtering might work, but never actually understood how it actually came out. I'm using the latest 1.5 snapshot (well at least as of late this morning). I'm still trying to figure out what the various junk/not-junk/filter junk options and actions are supposed to do. Of course I realize that due to the nature of 1.5 they might actually be doing something else. <G> Here's what I've found so far. 1) I selected a message from this list, and pushed the Junk button. The message disappeared. I expected to find it in the junk folder, but it seems to have disappeared entirely. Note I did this experiment before I updated evo1.5 today, so this was from a version a few days old. If mail just disappears when you mark it as junk, what recourse do you have if you make a mistake. 2) I then tried making a filter which says: If Subject starts with [SPAM] then Set Status Junk I noticed that there was also a junk test in the if clause but I'm not sure what that does. I then opened up my Spam v-folder (which selects all messages whose subject contains [SPAM] in the inbox) selected all but the first message and picked apply filters, and nothing seemed to happen, but after a few seconds the selected messages just disappeared, but the unread message count in the Spam vfolder was still showing 3 unread I've gone away for a couple of hours now and came back to see the same 3 messages in the SPAM folder but not visible. But... playing around a bit more I decided to see if the messages were still in the inbox. That's when I opened the twistie on my e-mail account (which uses IMAP by the way) and discovered a second junk folder there. AHA! That's where the messages went. So now it appears that there are TWO junk folders, I guess that this one is kind of a vfolder, although you guys seem to be hiding junk messages when I view the INBOX, so I don't know where the messages reside physically. The other one appears to be a local folder, but it's not deletable (at least EVO won't let me delete it. Why is this one there? It confused me to no end. Long sigh.... So now do I have it right? 1) Hitting the Junk button flags the mail as junk which makes it show up in the Junk folder and hides it in others, at the same time it invokes sa-learn to learn it as spam. 2) Hitting the not junk button (which is only enabled when mail in the junk folder is selected) removes the flag which "takes it out" of the junk folder and makes it show up in other folders as appropriate, and runs it through sa-learn to learn it as ham. I'm still not sure what filter junk does. _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
