Mark some mail as Not Junk. Just pick some folders that are representative of your mail, and that you know to be spam free - for instance, your Inbox, your Inbox <Known>, and perhaps your TBUDL mailing list folder. For each folder, select all emails and right click on them, choosing Specials -> Mark as NOT Junk. BayesIt is a fine filter, but recent versions of it seem to need to know what both junk and legitimate mail look like for you. I found that BayesIt marked just about everything as junk, until I went through a few folders and marked the mail as Not Junk. A> How can you tell what the score was given to an e-mail? There are some logs it produces - on NT/2K/XP systems, they're stored in \Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\BayesIt - look for BayesIt.log, and ~BayesIt.log - the latter is a temporary log which will be merged back with the main logfile when you close The Bat!...
