I don't use them either for spam anymore- they always come in from a different
address, and using words were tricky. I still use mail washer, and it works
great for me. And I am content right now to not use the filters. Spam never
downloads to my OE in the 1st place now. In the past, I have used them for
viruse that kept coming in - and I have my newsletters and groups all going to
their own folders.

I used to do that... but, you know how crazy it is to everytime aadd a new rule
whenever SPAM gets through? Was taking up too much of my time. Using a filter
does it automatically. And K9, as with most other filters, you just have to
select the mail thats SPAM and hit the big SPAM button, and it adds it to the
filter.

  Have you ever used the email rules in OE? they can be very good at what you
  want blocked, including subject matter, words in the body of the text. Worth
  a look.
