Re: spamfiltering / the Inbox-known-issue again
Hi again, Thanks for the reactions.. I thought I was gonna be skinned alive ;-)for bringing this up again. But I'm glad I did.. Made me think more about filtering and keeping the Inbox clean. And: I don't post much on mailinglist. And since posting to this one I got two spam-mails.. Normally I get one spam-mail per 2 weeks.. And I now have set up a folder which I call unknown and made my own basic address book filter.. The posts got in the folder.. :-) Saved me from being very disappointed and thanks to the spammers for testing it. :-) Now I was certain that it wasn't a post from a friend or a loved one. [stupid that I didn't think about this in the past] So a basic filter for beginners is in a way a good idea if it made sense: But I think you should also have an option to turn it of and on prob. in the preference-menu.. The folder and filter should be gone after disabling it.. So users who don't want and need this. could get rid of it. And I'm not even a beginner I just don't use TB! to its limits. And I still am a happy user. :-) With kind regards, Haico Current Ver: 1.60c FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
spamfiltering / the Inbox-known-issue again
Hi to all, First of all: Hope that I don't offend anyone for dragging a almost drowned horse out of the water. But since the discussion I read about creating a spamfilter I thought about this again. (and someone :) called this thing a zombie anyway, so.. ;) I was just thinking.. Why doesn't Ritlabs skip the whole idea of that Inbox-known folder.. If they got any sense on this matter, they would see how stupid it is. 1) degrading your inbox to a spam-folder. 2) the thing's name is too long and it just don't sound right. 3) you've got 2 folders with 2 blue arrows.. which looks very stupid. Why not make the opposite, and create something like a junk-folder. (this has been mentioned before)You can also make a basic-filter with more options for dealing with spam.. And give that folder a *RED* arrow and call it unknown. If Ritlabs would want to have an easy filter for beginners. Than you've got something that makes sense. And a folder with a red arrow would look very nice. :-) Greetings, Haico Current Ver: 1.60c FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: spamfiltering / the Inbox-known-issue again
Well, many, many of us just edited the filter to point it at a folder of choice and then got rid of the Unknown folder. Pretty simple.

And I'm sorry for bringing this up again, and this is the last I've got to say about it: I hate stupid idea's. And in a way I could have used this filter and a folder like that.. Because I don't get a lot of mail.. So most of my not-wanted-mail would have been seperated from my personal once.. I also like to see my personal mail on the mail-ticker.. And I'm VERY annoyed if a spam-mail gets on it.. So in a way I liked the idea.. But NOT in this way.. See it as a wishlist-thing! And you made my point.. If many, many of us deleted it, it's a bad idea and not wanted!

Hi Haico, On Tuesday, April 2, 2002 at 21:35:50 [GMT +0200], you wrote: H Why not make the opposite, and create something like a junk-folder. H (this has been mentioned before)You can also make a basic-filter with H more options for dealing with spam.. You have my vote for this one. And I know that a lot of people actually used this setup before it was built-in, with one folder for possible spam. It really appears more intuitive to me. -- Regards, Lars The Bat! 1.60c on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 |Lars Geiger | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]| Current Ver: 1.60c FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: spamfiltering / the Inbox-known-issue again
Agreed that the implementation was actually backwards from what was desired and actually didn't do anything that wasn't possible before. What it did do was make me think more about it and investigate the address book idea enough to make a spam filter that is very low maintenance. The nice thing about BAT and free will is that you can do what you want with the tools offered up and not have to take away from everybody something that happens to be irritating to many but not all.

If Ritlabs would want to have an easy filter for beginners. Than you've got something that makes sense. And if spam filters could be easily entered, sure I use it. Now have a box called spam...
