Popfile works by sitting between TB & the incoming email server - when
you check an account in TB, it goes through Popfile (but doesn't make
any noticeable difference to the download time). It looks for keywords
in your emails, & sorts them into "buckets" depending on the keywords it
finds. You define the buckets - eg you may have one for friends, one for
business, one for email lists & one for spam. You can have Popfile label
emails which get sorted to a particular bucket if you want (this is
variable by bucket). For example if you set labelling for the Spam
bucket, you can then - in TB - filter everything with that label
straight to Trash, or to a specific folder which you can check
periodically. If Popfile sorts an email wrongly, you tell it so, & it
learns as it goes along. I was pleasantly surprised by the level of
accuracy it achieved very quickly :-)

Also free, which is always a good thing (well, okay, thinking of MS
email clients, *usually* a good thing <G>)
