Novell has managed to compile Evolution for the Windows platform. The build is currently extremely unstable though, with Novell senior software engineer Tor Lillqvist stating: "You cannot run Evolution on Windows yet ... there isn't anything for end-users to beta-test yet." Lillqvist stated he can start serious debugging work from this point.

Update: Here is a screenshot and here.

T-Bird spam filter is bad

Submitted by Anonymous George on Tue, 2005-06-14 10:39.

The T-Bird's built-in spam filter is cool in terms of integration with the mail program, but it is bad in its main mission, that is, to filter spam. It typically misses about 10% of spam. Asa Dotzler of the Mozilla Foundation was lately able to improve this to around 5% by careful under-training, which defeats the purpose (if I wanted to inspect every spam message and decide if it should train or not, I wouldn't be using a spam filter, would I?)

No, if we could get the T-Bird's level of integration with a spam filter which actually works (I know SpamBayes from experience, and SpamAssassin from reports) that would be awesome.
