Thunderbird's spam filtering has been working really well for me. It just needs enough spam to figure out what is spam and what isn't. Maybe you just don't get enough :)
T Goh: U're welcome! The bean moniker was from yuexiang actually - claimed i reminded him of rowan atkinson. But yes I've read the Ender series. Did you?
And yes Thunderbird's spam filters seem abit flaky for me too, as of 0.7.3. Trust me Jiahao I also get more than enough spam on my old school account. Oh yes and the emails designed to get thru Bayesian filters can get quite bizarre. Not to mention the commment spam that's starting to plague blogs as well.
Btw how do gmail's spam filters measure up? I have yet to get spammed there (if one doesn't count lousy forwarded jokes as spam), although I suspect this blissful state may be ephemeral.
I pre-trained my Thunderbird (0.8 is out btw) on my Yahoo account using my YPOPS! to download all my mail on it and aliased to my university account. I think it helped a lot for real traffic on my uni address, which is pretty heavily spammed (~100 messages a day). It kept screwing up and I had to keep training it until it stabilized. But now and then it still kinda screws up, on the order of 1 message/day. I do agree that Gmail's filters seem to be working better but still has false positives, which is pretty bad. Yahoo's spam filters are really good, considering I get 500+ junk emails daily on it and when I check once in a while, it never produced a false positive on non-spam.
Yes false positives are a no-no. Thunderbird gives me false positives once in a while. But it could be because I didn't re-train my filters after upgrading, as I've been using it since the early versions. Perhaps some re-training is in order when I change to 0.8
Thought about that before... problem is I think gmail has a size limit on each email, so can't just simply massively upload. Of course one could write a script that chops up the file and then uploads it, and a corresponding script that reassembles it again on downloading to get around that problem. But quite mafan in any case.
Actually I really liked the orginal trilogy. Re-read Ender's game many times during one June hols. Still remember Jiedong lent me his zapped copy.
The new series from Bean's point of view is not bad, but I think only the first book was on par with the old ones. The next two in the series weren't as quite as good.
btw bean this is for you:
