[X4U] Junk mail - Just wondering...

[Matt Gregory]

I can't say I have a definitive answer, but have experienced similar
behavior.  I think just clicking "Not Junk" is enough to adjust the rules.
After clicking "Not Junk" I always move the message back to my Inbox.  But I
take a peek at the Junk folder every couple of weeks or so and more often
than not there's a message or two in there that have slipped by.

I just think it's because junk detection engines aren't perfect.  I still
get spam in my inbox as well as real email in my junk folder.  It's just
those numbers are very low now compared to what they were becoming before
junk filters were integrated into email clients.  I have the same issue with
Thunderbird at work and Gmail.  But at least it's manageable.
