Junk Mail Slipping Through

When I first started using Thunderbird, I loved how well the Junk Mail
filter worked. Lately though, it seems to let more and more junk slip
through. Has this started happening to anyone else? Or just me?

 

I think the spammers have been changing M.O. a little lately...

Have you tried a program like Mailwasher which will let you view and
delete from the server before downloading to your system ?

 

Yes I have, and I'm aware of the *other* programs. However, I'm not
asking how to filter spam. I just want to know if anyone else notice
more spam in the Inbox vs. Junk Mail folder in *Thunderbird*.

 

Well, I've been filtering through Poptray, so I'm not seeing as much,
either caught by JMC or not. Still, I think David's comment is pretty
much on the mark. Spammers make their living by defeating spam
protection. No matter how good spam protection gets, spammers will
start finding a way around it.

To get more protection, Soz is on the mark. Poptray is an email
notifier with filter capabilities. Mailwasher is designed for spam
filtering, and would be a better bet for that purpose.
