Gmail spam filtering is quite effective and filters almost 95% of the spam. But the gmail web interface is not that great (no thread view, cannot easily delete emails etc.,).

I have tried setting up bogofilter & spamassassin in the past & I've always run into trouble;the process sometimes seems incredibly complex. Any help out there?MattThe above solution works 90% of the time but it is not the proper way of spam filtering (I think). But hey! it works and I dont need to spend time about reading thousands of lines of documentation.
That sounds like a pretty good filter rate. I'm relying on Thunderbird's built-in spam filter which is meant to train itself but it's no more than 60% to 70% effective. Adam
