[gentoo-user] [OT] Seamonkey and spam filter

[Dale]

Hi,

I have noticed that some people on this list get marked as spam.  I
think I hit the spam button a few times by mistake and it seems
Seamonkey remembers this very well.  Is there a file that I can edit or
delete to "reset" this?  Sort of give me a fresh start.

Thanks

When such a false positive arrives you could click "the spam button"
again (its tooltip should say "mark as not junk") this should fix the
problem.

I have been doing that for some time now and it still marks them as
spam.  It is not always the same people but certain ones do get picked
on a lot.  It seems to get it by subject too I guess.

Any ideas where this info is kept?  I thought of unmerging and then
cleaning out the directory and emerging it again.  I'm not sure that
will work either though.

If you are ready to delete all your settings un-merging won't be needed.
Just close seamonkey and move/delete your mozilla-home folder. The next
time you start seamonkey it would appear as if it was just installed.

for example:
mv ~/.mozilla ~/MOZILLA-BACK

But I would also loose my email.  I archive all these emails just in
case.  I also already have a ~/.mozilla.old as well.  There was
something corrupt in there and Seamonkey did not like it.  It started
after switching to Seamonkey from Mozilla.    When I tried to copy my
email over, whatever it was was in there as well and Seamonkey was very
flakey.  The only fix I could find was to rename it to .mozilla.old.

Makes me wonder though.

Thanks for the tip though.  May end up doing that, again.  :-(

No, you won't loose it. After you start seamonkey again it will recreate
its home directory. Make the settings as they were before (I mean the
server settings and the accounts) and close seamonkey. Then go deep in
the backup directory and you'll find a directory structure similar to:

~/$mozilla-bak/$profile/$unique/Mail/$pop3.my-mail.server.com/

$mozilla-bak    -   the name you used for backup
$profile        -   normally is "default"
$unique         -   a directory created by mozilla, e.g. "5r358tza.slt"
$pop3.my-mail.server.com - I think it is obvious ;)

Under $pop3.my-mail.server.com you'll find your mail as files
Inbox,Inbox.msf; Sent,Sent.msf, Trash, Trash.msf and so on.

Just copy those into the corresponding location of the new mozilla tree
and your mail will be there the next time you start seamonkey.

How about setting up a message filter for gentoo-user.  I believe if
you setup a filter to deliver the mail to a specific box, it will
bypass any spam filtering (been awhile since I used mozilla mail
clients, so not entire sure however).  You could also add the specific
people to your contacts, which should help the spam filter figure out
that they are not spammers.

I *think* it is in the training.dat file in your profile directory
(~/.mozilla/..).  Unfortunately this is not something that you can
edit.  You can however reset [1] the data through the junk mail
controls in seamonkey.

I already have those set up and it still catches them and moves them to
the trash bucket.

The screen that is in your link is not in Seamonkey.  It doesn't even
have a tab that I can see.  I guess there is some differences.  I
thought they were the same just split apart between mail and browser. 
Hmmmmm . . . .

This is weird.  May rename that file and see what breaks.  O_O

Thanks
