Junk mail

Is there any way of editing the Junkmail filters?

I keep having to add the same address to the Junkmail White List again and
again and again, and mail from that address still seems to end up in the
Junkmail folder.

I have a filter set so what when I have finished reading them in New Mail,
when it is closed they are automatically moved to their own folder, but when
they end up in the Junkmail folder I have to move them one by one, and I
sometimes read them several days late.

I use spamhalter, and it's whitelist.

I inspect my spam folder say once a month,
and seldom there is a pertinent mail needing whitelisting
and rescanning.

Do you use spamhalter?

No, I've never heard of it.

And how will it stop Pegasus from putting things into my junkmail folder?

Strange.

Standard part of PMail:

Menu
Tools
Spam aand content controls
Spamhalter ...

Isn't it the reason of the existence of a junkmail folder,
to put things !in! it automagically?

I wouldn't think that would be significant unless you're deluged with
spam.

I used to use K9 a long time ago. I didn't realize it hadn't been
updated since 2004. Seems to now be abandonware.

Yes, but not things on the whitelist.

You need to be more specific. Are you talking about Spamhalter or
Content Control?

If Spamhalter, I don't understand your issue. When you add an address
to the Global White List, it should stay there. Unless you have
exceeded the number of addresses you have set as the maximum (default
is 500, I think) no address should ever just disappear.

If you're talking about Content Control, I don't know. I never could
get that feature working the way I wanted, and then I found I didn't
need it anyway.

Perhaps to do with the way you fill it?

I have set a maximum of 1000 entries and
automatic insertion of addresses used for sending.

I heve never knowingly seen a mail in the spam folder
that was whitelisted, but who knows.
