However I remember seeing an option to "perform filter actions before the Junk
classification" but cannot find it now to check the setting.
In Message Filters under "Apply filter when:" the "Getting New Mail:" entry for me is a drop down
containing "Filter before Junk Classification" and "Filter After Junk Classification".
Thanks, I see it now. I have everything set to "before junk", so automatic
junking is done last.
All my filters are of the whitelist type, and any messages that have no match
will either stay in Inbox (which should be empty)
or be moved to Junk (by adaptive junk filtering) where I can examine it and
then quickly hide it (mark as read).
My filter setup is the same and I have adaptive junk control active as well in
both global Junk Settings and Account level settings. When previewing an email
in the preview window I used to see a lot of messages about Thunderbird
thinking the email was spam (usually when the email source was an IP Address
rather than a DNS name), but that seems to have disappeared.
Basically there is one conflict. email from a list is categorized by List-ID,
and there is often some spam there, which I let the auto deal with.
Most lists do a reasonable job of blocking junk.
I have the filter for this list and the KDE list categorised by From, Cc,
Reply, List-ID, List-Id and To as I've seen emails on those lists using all
those forms. From memory the List-ID and List-Id entries I had to add manually
to the drop down for them to be usable and until I actually looked at the
headers from the list emails I didn't know that List-ID and List-Id were tags
that were used.
Personal email is categorized by From/To/CC/BCC (rarely by subject) and what is left is mostly spam.
I have never used Subject for any mail filter I've created and I don't
distinguish between emails sent directly to me or global list type emails with
filtering, I treat everything the same.
Not so simple for me because some sites (think PayPal) messages I prefer to
file with the specific shopping folder.
Also, I move '[PATCH]' (and related) items to a separate folder as I am usually
not reading these. These are high volume.
regards,
Steve
