I have tried every form of Database rebuilding PowerMail offers in an attempt to improve stability. Still when I awoke this morning, and stumbled over to the duallie, "The Application PowerMail has expectedly quit." :/
The Bayesian filters, all work as well as one and another, which means, they're as good as they've been trained to be. But there's another hitch here, I'm always connected to the internet, and during the day, I really need to be checking my mail every minute or so (there's a lot of tag going on). And before you suggest a chat client, that's happening too, but a lot of my clients can't/don't want have/want that, and wrangling with them is unrewarding. The problem with the external filters is the obvious poplock problem, when the filter tries to connect at the same time. I would also like to get away from pop. Thankfully I run my own domain, and have been able to run some filtering at that level. Of the 150+ mail messages I get a day, ~3-4 are actually spam. I also used Emailer for a long time, years, amazing program, and I will grant that PowerMail may very well be it's 'spiritual' successor. When I mentioned that $25 for SpamSieve was a deal breaker, it's not that $25 is a lot of money, it's that I'd feel like a sucker for paying for something that's free elsewhere. From looking over the site, I'm sorry but I don't see anything particularly magical about SpamSieve. If anything PopFile seems more robust, but the same problems exist with either. -Austin
