OK, you complain even when we do give information. When someone who isn't writing the code gives information, he/she doesn't always know exactly what info is needed.

Evo reports what it is doing at the bottom of the window. When I highlight the junk and hit the junk button at the top, it reports it's progress as it checks the e-mail and moves it to the junk folder. I guess it's trying to build rules for filtering (although it never filters on it's own). I have to go through the new e-mails and just highlight the junk. Maybe there is an easier way to get Evo to remove all the junk in a folder (even though it should do this as it brings in new e-mails). > > Someone said they tried to build Evo themselves from source.

Again, when I reported the problem some time ago, I thought someone would asks for specific information like this. I'm just surprised it took so long. When you submit an e-mail on a problem and weeks go buy and no one even comments, you wonder why bother to report the problem. > Now, enable debugging: > > export CAMEL_DEBUG=junk > > (or if you want more logging, use CAMEL_DEBUG=all) > > Now, start Evo with output redirected to a log file, like: > > evolution &> junk.log & > > Now, read some mail that should and should not be junk.
