Talk:Junk Mail Controls
From MozillaZine Knowledge Base
This page is very negative and it often states Thunderbird's junk filtering is weak. This is unfortunate. Afaik, it just comes with no training data (hence the phrase "it has default spam detection" is incorrect and should be changed), and it has its benefits and its disadvantages compared to having some training data included. The disadvantage is that you need to teach it before it becomes useful. I think that one of advantages is few false positives (just a general judgement based on a rough idea how bayesian filtering works), had anyone actually had any problems with false positive, that the article warns about?
