I'm upgrading a few clients to CentOS 4.2. They have been using Evolution 1.x, so this is the first release that will have junk mail filtering. So I've switched from Thunderbird to Evolution on my own desktop tp better support them.
I have been dutifully marking the spam and the ham. But the filter has so far not flagged a single email on its own. (I've flagged about a hundred so far, so it's had time to learn.)
Is there something in the config that I need to set to get it to filter?
One possible kink is that my own mail account uses imap. My users will be using pop3.
Thanks, Steve

It works fine with pop3 ... I don't use IMAP, so I can't comment on that.
Make sure you have turned on Junk mail in:
Menu -> Tools -> Settings -> Mail Preferences -> Junk
My Junk box filters about 10-30 e-mails per day ... and misses about 10 others on an average day.
(These are all items that make it through my spamassassin)

Thank you for the reply. Yes, it's turned on there. "Include remote tests" was not checked. Perhaps that will make a difference. But I doubt it. The Bayesian filter should have come up with *something* by now. I suspect that imap mail is not getting filtered.
No biggie on imap. As long as it works with pop3 my users will be happy.

I use Evolution 2.0.4 and my junk filter seems to work very well, but only on the default (pop) account. Other imap accounts don't seem to get filtered for me.
