The Bayesian spam filtering in Thunderbird was really good because it could be trained to the kind of spam you received personally. It was not a joke; I survived on that for my work email for half a decade before they finally bought an appliance to do the heavy lifting.
- kbenson 8y agoI guess it was, I'm seeing reports of it working well in the bugzilla for Mozilla from around that time period, so I'll concede that Thunderbird had filtering and it may have been fairly good. I think my larger point, that Spam was a major problem of the time period, and that Google was seen as having very good spam detection, still stands.
