Hi there,
I'm having trouble with the spam filter of Mac Mail 2.0.8.
I've set the preferences to trust the email headers of my isp (which detects and marks spam quite well) - Mac Mail just plain ignores it.
Furthermore, I've been trying to teach it - it's been now 4 months that I'm marking spam as 'junk mail' before I delete it. No results with that, either. Since I'm getting about 60-80 spam-mails every single day, this becomes a major issue.
Any ideas about what I can do to fix this please??!?
Your help is very much appreciated.
