What improvement rate are you seeing for this, please? |

My concern with these particular users, who are not particularly |
| 15 |
email-savvy, is that they ain't going to train the filters. I just |
| 16 |
don't see it happening. And if I teach them to train the filters by |
| 17 |
dragging & dropping into the "learn" folder then I anticipate perhaps |
| 18 |
just one of them complaining "but why can't I just right-click it and |
| 19 |
`mark as junk' in Outlook?". |

I'd really prefer all spam-filtering to be invisible to the user. I |
| 22 |
don't demand a high success rate: Bayesian filtering should get 99.5% |
| 23 |
or above, I think, but I'd be happy with 95%. SpamAssassin is |
| 24 |
currently getting about 33%, which is next to useless. |

IMAP server is Dovecot storing messages in maildirs in users' home |
| 27 |
directories - this makes it convenient for your suggestion, but I |
| 28 |
just don't really want to go there. |
