I seem to miss the point with Evolutions SPAM filtering techniques. Ever since I switched from thunderbird to evolution, I try to get the SPAM filter to work. Using the spamassassin plugin, all I see is that it drastically slows down mail retrieval, using 100% CPU time. It barely filters any spam message though. I then tried to train it marking a bunch ( > 100 ) mails as junk. Then I marked some SPAM mails and selected 'Message->Check for Junk' to see how many mails will get filtered - but after using up some amount of CPU time, nothing happens. Then I tried the 'bogofilter' plugin that comes as a Ubuntu package but using this not a single message ever gets filtered out ( but that is done pretty fast though ). So far this is disappointing to me ( and renders evolution useless ) since using Thunderbird, a folder with > 1000 messages is quickly and reliably filtered. Am I missing something? How do I get SPAM filtering to work with Evolution?
Even though evolution (actually spamassassin) mail filtering should perform much better, the preferable location to do the filtering is on the server, which is in the position to not accept the message at all instead of putting it in the trashcan later.
