greetings from sunny Sydney. I'm using Evolution 2.4, compiled from
source on a Mandrake 10 box. I've been using the "mark messages as junk"
junk button to train Evolution in junk detection.. so far +- 200 junk
emails.. I have the options selected (edit -> preferences -> mail
preferences -> junk) for automatic local and remote junk filtering on
input, but Evolution never seems to learn - similar junk mails keep
appearing in my inbox, I keep junk-buttoning them.  I read in the user
guide that Evolution uses Spam Assassin.. I had assumed that this was
now built-in to Evolution. Wrong assumption ? Do I have to install S-A
separately ? Or do I train it through some other path ?
thanks

so you have enabled "check incoming mail for junk" under "edit |
preferences | mail preferences | junk | general". this setting only
refers to POP and Local delivery (i know that you could not find out, it
is not part of the documentation, i'M going to file a bug report on
that).
if you use IMAP, make sure you have enabled "check new messages for junk
contents" under "edit | preferences | mail accounts | edit | receiving
options | options".
also, spamassassin needs at least 200 messages marked as spam or ham to
kick in, so you have to train your filter.

afaik you have to have spamassassin installed on your computer to use it
in evolution, it is NOT built-in. make sure the plugin is enabled (under
"edit | plugins").

all in all after reading this, the UI isn't really cool currently.

cheers,
andre
