Hi,
I was wondering if there is differences between the different junk mail filters in the individual accounts junk settings - SpamAssassin, Bogofilter, DSPAM, etc. Which one should I select, if any? Could anyone point me towards any info on the topic?
Thank you!

No, it doesn't but it does provide information on making use of one of those applications with Thunderbird.

It's hard to determine your knowledge level from the question, so forgive me if this is too basic ...ichthyosaurus wrote:Hi,

Unless you're planning on installing one of these as an application on your local computer, then you should select whichever junk filter your mail server has installed. They don't typically list this for you anywhere, but you may be able to tell by examining the spam analysis header(s) the filter adds to your messages. With a message selected view full headers via View | Headers (or Ctrl+U). The header names will vary with the filter used, but they will begin with X.

Sorry, I thought that when I post a topic I'm automatically subscribed to it, but apparently not, so I just saw your answer. Thank for which.makaiguy wrote:It's hard to determine your knowledge level from the question, so forgive me if this is too basic ...ichthyosaurus wrote:Hi,

Knowledge level is not too high in this regard. I was basically looking for a simple advice on which spam filter to select, if any.
This is what my header has:
