K9 and PopFile are written by reputable people and most certainly spyware
free. K9 is a spam / no spam filter while PopFile can filter into any number
of categories, for example I have junk, scams, personal etc...

It is remarkably good at sorting into at least 5 boxes and you only need one
OE rule for each box if you choose to have that many. I do a bit of research
so I do have that many.

I have not tried the others except mailwasher and frankly that is more
trouble.

You can run "PopFile on another machine so it can be used to filter for more
than one person.

Looking for recommendations on a SPAM filtering program to use with
OE. The built in filters work but are laborious and repetitive to
setup and somewhat inflexible. They are also a PITA to copy from one
system to another...

Preferred software?
