Bah, I just went and installed it and it doesn't support the font I like.

Fraking AOL not supporting 5.9 on Vista ... I'm still looking for something to replace 6.1, it's ugly as shit compared to 5.9 with the Aero Glass effects. I tried using 5.9 but it starts refusing to start after a few tries. Grrr.

Trying Trillian, brb

it creates two folders. junk email and junk suspects. it's best if you have a few hundred junk emails to put in the junk folder initially for it to learn from. then based on it's analysis of the stuff you call junk it learns. if junk is in your inbox you click the delete as spam button. if something is close to being junk, but doesn't quite score high enough (you set the level) it'll put it in the junk suspects folder. i go through my suspects folder once a day to look for false positives (click recover from spam button) and true positives (click delete as spam). works great for me. on the default settings it only puts about 10-20 emails in the suspects folder per day and seldom are more than one or two false positives.

edit: yeah, the gmail option works. there's no reason i couldn't try that instead, but i've been using spam bayes for a few years now and i resist change.

Gah, it's even uglier than 6.1 :fly: :(

Seriously, is the development for Vista this bad?! I can't be the only one just wanting to have glass, it looks so fucking retarded to have like 5 windows open with this cool transparency blurring and one thing that's not. It's like Windows 95 is invading.

Did I miss the "turn all skins off" button somewhere?
