I'm at my wit's end, here.
I was hoping the beta webmail would implement what I consider the weakest link in Sonic's webmail: to create blacklist/whitelist entries straight from the webmail interface, if not then at least to teach SpamAssassin how to catch really obvious things. The whole idea of having member tools in one window and copying/pasting From: headers is very silly.
It also seems that you cannot intelligently "create a filter from this message" by selecting the message. Gasp. Even Gmail does this.
At the very least, multi-select drag-and-drop to the Graymail folder should make SpamAssassin "learn" from the spam placed there. (Think flagging as Junk in Thunderbird.)
I do get a LOT of spam in my inbox, not caught by SpamAssassin on default settings. Maybe there is something wrong here?
I do also use Thunderbird but SpamSieve, the most excellent spam filter add-on ever made, will not work with Thunderbird.
I am on a measured 3G modem service, courtesy of Bell in Canada. Downloading more than just mail headers (to use for an intelligent spam filter) would cost me an extra $1000/year or so. It needs to happen on Sonic's side, and I am very resentful to have to think about dusting off my old procmail skills.
Oh, right, procmail won't work for add-on mailboxes without shell access... Never mind.
