yahoo mail sucks big time, and their spam filtering is terrible gmail spam filtering is *very* good my local spamassassin is better Yahoo spam filter is awesome if you take the time to work with it.
My ISP also relies on Yahoo for email and I find it's worse that a decent email app. Previously, I was able to disable their spam filter, but for the past few months I can't. It often puts my email into the "Bulk mail" folder, including posts from this list. What's worse, I can't use my email app to mark it not spam. I have to use a browser to connect to the mail server and mark it there.
Buncha Yahoos!!! ;-) Just like Thunderbird you have to teach it what you think is spam.
I took the time to do it and on average only one or two spam messages get through to my computer a month. So, it does work if you work with it. only I download my email, fetchmail, and read locally. I do not want to *mess* with yahoo's broken spam filter at all. I *only* access it with a web client in order to un-spam most of what yahoo decides for me. and only use yahoo mail because at&t does.
I download my mail also. The way you teach Yahoo what isand what isn't is to not download continuously for a short time. Go to Yahoo webmail and choose what you want to see in your Thunderbird inbox and what you don't. In a short time Yahoo starts sorting it on it's own. What I see is that you want it to work without putting in the time to make it work. It doesn't happen that way. -- "The time has come," the Walrus said, "To talk of many things: Of shoes-and ships-and sealing-wax- Of cabbages-and kings-- And why the sea is boiling hot- And whether pigs have wings."
