Ah. The answer is, yes. It works on my Exchange EWS account and on my POP3 account. For some definition of "works". Some junk is not caught and some non-junk is caught. There is no junk in my Gmail account, but I don't get much spam there.
So, is the junk mail filtering in Evolution:
a) Assessing the mail to see if it appears to be junk/not-junk, then filtering it into an appropriate folder? And, when you manually hit junk/not-junk buttons in your reader, are the assessment rules adjusted to take those particular messages into account?
It sounds like it. When I filter by hand, there's a pop-up that says "learning spam" or "learning ham" or something similar.
b) Looking for a junk/not-junk header in the mail, that some other processor has put there when it assessed the mail, and filtering on those junk mail headers?
Works in conjunction with spamassassin or bogofilter. So I don't know exactly, but I would guess that the processor modifies the header, and evo interacts with the processor to update the processor's filter rules.
