<title>Junk Mail Settings</title>
<p><app>Evolution</app> lets you check for unwanted junk or spam emails by using the <app>Bogofilter</app> or <app>SpamAssassin</app> tools. To use these tools, you need to make sure that they are installed via the software management tool of your distribution.</p>
<note style="info package">
<p>You might need to install one of these packages to perform these steps.</p>
<if:choose>
<if:when test="if:supports('action:install')">
<p><link action="install:bogofilter" href="http://bogofilter.sourceforge.net/" style="button">Install bogofilter</link></p>
<p><link action="install:spamassassin" href="http://spamassassin.apache.org/" style="button">Install spamassassin</link></p>
</if:when>
</if:choose>
</note>
<p>SpamAssassin works through a set of predefined rules, hence it can determine spam straight away. Bogofilter does not come with a default set of spam criteria so it will not automatically filter anything after installing it. You must <link xref="mail-spam-marking">train it</link> first to make it work. You can modify the actions of SpamAssassin by training it as well.</p>
<note style="tip"><p>The junk mail options discussed in this page refer only to POP and Local Delivery. For handling junk mails on IMAP, see the Evolution settings under <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Preferences</gui><gui>Mail Accounts</gui><gui style="button">Edit</gui><gui>Receiving Options</gui></guiseq>.</p></note>
