Thunderbird junk filters are so much faster than Evolutions and seem to 
work better IMHO.  Again, I believe that this is an issue with Outlook 
Web Access which is the only way to get mail.

I have tried all the settings in Evolution to get it to check my mail 
every 30 minutes.  No luck.  I think those features only work with imap 
or pop access.

I wish I could compose my mail while Evolution is downloading mail but 
it is so hard to know what I am responding to when I have not read the 
mail yet.  :)

I guess I was spoiled by Thunderbird and I find that Thunderbird 2.0 is 
so much faster than the older versions.

I will do what I can to stick with TB as it works for me.
