One additional thing the Outlook plugin does is add a Spam
percentage column to your folder view, allowing you to sort
a folder by likelihood of being spam.   This makes training
new spam (and ham) a lot easier, in contrast with
Thunderbirds binary spam or not icon.

The Mozilla/Thunderbird community is 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 here. 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.

The plugin provides a toolbar with three buttons: "delete as 
spam" moves the currently selected message to the spam 
folder and does the appropriate training (this is not visible in 
the spam folder).  "recover from spam" does the opposite, 
basically.

The third button opens up a dialog that lets the user 
configure the plugin, train, and filter one or more folders.

Once setup, the plug-in also filters all incoming mail in the 
folders it is set to watch.

Let me know if you need any more details.

Can somebody describe me exactly what does the Outlook
plugin do ? I'm volunteer to create a Mozilla Mail plugin.
