I've not seen that problem, but I do have a very similar one (and was about to start a new thread). Every so often emails arrive in my inbox which are clearly spam but which are not marked as such by my filters. Now, I have PopFile doing all the work and putting an X-Classification header on the email. I have a simple filter (first up) which detects this and sets the color group. Normally when such an email appears it is a case of going to PopFile and reclassifying. Lately, however, I have been noticing that PopFile has *correctly* tagged it as spam. Just now I got one and decided to investigate. I can run "Test filters" against the message and that reports that the SPAM filter succeeded and would change the color group. BUT, it didn't! I have another account called "junk" which services an email address that receives ONLY junk (I use it once in a while when I absolutely have to give an email address somewhere I don't like). Anyway, it has a filter (also called SPAM) which detects "@" in the sender (!!) and sends it to folder \\junk\$JUNK$. Now, this folder does exist, but when the mail arrives, it appears to flick through another account's JUNK folder! That other account's JUNK folder keeps flickering between zero and 1 and normal and bold as the mail arrives! This filtering system needs some work!!! This is why Thunderbird is installed and I am teetering... -- Cheers, Allister :flag-newzealand: New Zealand / Aotearoa ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
