Thunderbird Adaptive Spam Filtering

August 24th, 2006

The spam threshold is very conservative by default. To make more sensitive to spam, you can change the preference using Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> General -> Config Editor. Enter junk in the Filter field to show only the preferences that contain junk in thier name, and then double-click on mail.adaptivefilters.junk_threshold , enter a number (I choose 80) in the edit field and press the OK button.

Something else that’s interesting is to download http://bayesjunktool.mozdev.org/ and explore your training.dat file which maintains all the tokens for spam classification.
