I haven't been following this thread, so aplogies now if I tread on sore toes. I, too, didn't have much time to spare for configuration, though I did look at it briefly. I did find, though, that one simple change to kmail made a huge difference. In the filter configuration for classifying as spam, I changed it to the following: sa-learn -L --spam --sync The difference was immediately obvious. I understand that this is not the default setting because it is slower than the default, but it hasn't caused me any problems. Of course, manually applying the filter to missed spam improves performance also. Anne
