I am currently using Thunderbird 1.5 and I get about 15 spam emails a day. This may not be a lot but its very annoying especially since, for some reason, about 2/3 of those have a timestamp from last year and they go to the bottom of my emails.
Most of the offers are for (I assume) pirated software, fake drugs, and fake watches. However, even though the emails look identical, headers show EVERY email coming from a different place, so blocking just based on source is not going to work.
What do you guys recommend for getting rid of some of this garbage? Should I use Thunderbirds built in junk mail filters? If so, is there guide or something that shows you how to set it up so that its actually effective? What about 3rd party apps? I prefer open-source, or free, but I am open to pay options as well.
Thanks.
