POPFile? Never heard of it, will have a look. Whats the difference to
spamassasin?
Anyway, i made some excellent experiences using Mozillas Junk Mail
Control. After switching to thunderbird i'm not that satisfied anymore.
I'd recommend the one from mozilla. Also, after switching to thunderbird
i've problems to start mozilla when thunderbird is running, no problems
other way round...

You should have the option of opting out of their spam filtering.
Otherwise you could legitimately complain that some legit mail is being
mismarked as spam and it's interfearing with your ability to use their
email and you now want a discount.

Agreed ... and commercial customers can.

Thanks to this thread, I have now set KMail so it doesn't download email
>50k (user option), which solves the virus attacment problem with one of
my accounts. KMail shows the subject line, etc and one can delete the
messages on the server rather than download them.
