This extension was born from my frustration with Thunderbird's built-in spam 
filtering features. While I enjoyed the ability to classify email as spam/ham 
within Thunderbird, the built-in spam filter was not effective enough to make 
it usable on a long-term basis. Having past experience with SpamBayes, I 
immediately looked for the best way to integrate the two. Unfortunately, aside 
from an old rumor I found nothing. So I settled for the pop3 proxy distributed 
with SpamBayes. While this provided good spam classification results, it left 
room for improvement on the training procedure. The browser-based training 
mechanism, while effective, was not convenient and essentially required me to 
classify most spam that made it to my inbox twice: once to move it to the Junk 
folder within Thunderbird and once to classify it as spam in the SpamBayes 
web-interface. Hopefully this will put an end to the frustration.
