Ok, I have a pop3 mail account through my ISP. I currently use Thunderbird, which spam filter is almost 100% accurate. The problem I'm having is I like to run a mail check applet to tell me when I have new mail, and most of the time when it says I have mail its spam. Is there any way I can setup some sort of a mail server on my computer that checks and downloads messages from my isp's pop3 server, filters the spam, and then I can connect to that server and get my mail (minus the spam) that way? I think it can be done with spamassassin? Any information would be appreciated.

You should be able to use fetchmail to get the mail and put it in some kind of imap/pop3 server for yourself.
