Mail.app not filtering junk

External Since: Aug 31, 2003 Posts: 48

I ported to a G5 in October and Mail seemed to work fine. In the last
month for no apparent reason the spam filtering stopped working. I
checked the preferences but couldn't get it to work. Finally, I made a
new account and re-entered my comcast account settings. Ran on training
for a while and then turned on regular spam filtering. Again, it
doesn't filter. Am I overlooking something obvious? If not, what
preference file should I trash to try to fix this? Running OS10.3.2

thanks

On [1] you find some problems and solutions.

I read that you should have at least one personal filter active
that Mail.app filters junk mail. That's probably why Apple ships
Mail.app with a rule to mark Apple's mails.
