I’ve been using mozilla1.3 alpha for a while, and I couldn’t figure out why the spam algorithm would stop working after a day or two. Well, it turns out in addition to having to manually mark messages as spam, you also have to explicitly mark messages as not spam. In retrospect, this sounds obvious, but it isn’t because mozilla uses identical looking icons for messages that are not spam and messages that it couldn’t determine, so I thought it was saying messages were not spam when really it was saying that it didn’t know. Sure enough, after labeling a few hundred messages as not spam, all spam messages are now labeled as spam once again.
