OK Fair enough. Are you that controversial ? ;)

Thunderbird's Bayesian filtering works great.

Like all of these filter mechanisms, it's only as good as how it's
trained/implemented by the end user (You).

So, to start off, get all the SPAM and good e-mail (in the hundred's if
not thousands) and tell T-Bird's JUNK filters which is good and bad in
mass. Then you'll have some good junk filtering capability from the start.

Then onwards, you'll have to tell T-Bird of each false positive and each
SPAM that makes it through -- So the JUNK rules keep getting updated.
Eventually you'll find that very little SPAM will make it through to
your Inbox.
