Summary: Integrate into Mozilla Thunderbird

Initial Comment:
Some users of Mozilla Thunderbird are very interested
in improving the junk mail filter functionality of
Thunderbird using the SpamBayes approach. The current
implementation is apparently not working well for many
users and they are looking at SpamBayes as a better
solution.

You can view the current discussion about it at:
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=181534

In my opinion, building the SpamBayes algorithms directly
into Thunderbird's junk mail handling would be even better
than developing a plug-in/extension as proposed below
in [ 793478 ] Plugin for Mozilla Mail
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=793478&group_id=61702&atid=498106>
although there may be a complelling reason for not
doing so that I'm not currently aware of. It would be
sad to see talent wasted by having two different teams
work on the same feature when they could work together.
Specially since it seems neither sub-project has taken
off yet in a significant way.

I see that the Outlook plugin and the pop3proxy are
managed as different applications. Perhaps this could
be handled in a similar fashion.

Tim gets a lot of email and doesn't have time for it all. 
You shouldn't ever need to email any of the developers
privately - use one of the mailing lists, or this
sourceforge system.

http://spambayes.org/contact.html

You're welcome to develop a plug-in, although the general
consensus among the existing developers is that since the
Thunderbird developers are integrating spambayes ideas into
their filter, it's not worth duplicating their work.  If you
need any help, you can ask on spambayes-dev (see link above).

I want to develop mozilla mail/thunderbird plugin to
integrate it with SpamBayes. I've written a letter to
tim_one some days ago, there was no reply.
