Mail's spam filter

cornbb

I'm less than happy with Mail's junk filter. I've missed several emails from colleagues because they've been incorrectly sent to the Junk folder, and several bits of junk mail that slip through the net make it into my inbox every day. Just wondering whether I'd be better off using a different email client for this reason, Thunderbird perhaps?

In 4 years of using iMail, it used to be an issue when I had a UTV mail address, but when I took it off the account and stuck to my .Mac, I have to honestly say that I have had very little mail incorrectly sorted. If it is, it's just a matter of re-marking it and sorting it; hardly a few seconds work, or switch your filter to training mode for a few weeks and do it manually until you think it is sorted. It may also be a case of mail provider more so, Corn, spam is spam so it has to get your e mail from somewhere. I have a yahoo and it's getting 10-20 spams a week into it's junk alone.

I use Spamsieve. It catches most spam.

2nd spamsieve, although I don't use it myself, my Junk Mail Filter catches almost everything after around 4/5 years of training, and if a piece of mail goes into junk, just right/ctrl click it and set it as not junk.

I find Mail's spam filter pretty good actually. It's often caught things that Gmail has missed.
