It sounds like you may not have trained SpamBayes when you set up filtering. If you haven't given it some examples of spam and ham messages, it will classify everything as uncertain spam. Take a look in the folder you designated for uncertain spam. If my guess is correct, you'll find all of your messages in there. Select each one and click the "Delete as Spam" or "Recover from Spam" button as appropriate. (I may have the button text wrong; I use a different version.) As you train SpamBayes over time, its accuracy will increase. You should get good results within a day or two.

I set up spam filtering last night and the very first time I downloaded my email after that...about 20 emails landed in my inbox and ALL of them disappeared within a few seconds... long enough for me to know they downloaded... and ALL the emails were gone. I can't find them in any folders in my email folders. All of them were regular emails that I needed to read and responded to... there may have been one or two spam emails. I had read the emails online on a remote site earlier in the day... * the version of Windows you are using = 2003 * the version of SpamBayes = 1.0.4 March 2005 * any log files. ????? How do I retrieve these emails? How do I turn off the malfunctioning spam filter? L.Hammond [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
