#49 Don't count classified spam as new mail
I found what "turns me on" and "off" to spam filters is
their ability NOT to falsely indicate the arrival of new
mail. If a message is classified as spam, it would be
nice if SpamBayes would not indicate it as new mail
(sounds/tray icon envelope).

Please read FAQ 3.9.

All too clear now. Thank you for your prompt response. An
alternative solution would be to create a spambayes icon and
update it upon success or filter. An example that I have
seen is JunkOut (which uses a Bayesian filter also). Just a
suggestion. :)

Hmm. That is an interesting idea. I'll change this back to
open and see what Mark thinks of it.

Greetings.
With respect to FAQ 3.9, it says, "Until someone comes up
with a clever solution for all of this...".
It looks like someone has: the author of Spammunition, a free
bayesian Outlook add-in. Spammunition is similar to
SpamBayes (I like SpamBayes better; it's more effective), but
Spammunition includes an option to turn off the "new mail"
icon if it moves spam out of your Inbox and there are no
unread mesages remaining there. Outlook will still play a
sound/open a pop-up when something arrives, if you have
Outlook configured that way. With Outlook configured to play
a sound, and Spammunition configured to turn off the icon
when appropriate, you know spam has arrived because you'll
hear the sound, but the icon doesn't show up.
Spammunition hasn't been updated in quite a while, but the
author posted a news item on his web site saying he was
trying to make it an open source project, so perhaps you
could recruit him...
See http://www.upserve.com for information.
I've sent him an e-mail referencing this project.
Sincerely,

What might be a simple solution/work-around would be hto
ave SpamBayes play a sound when it classifies a message as
ham. I could then disable Outlooks builtin notification feature
which plays a sound whenever any message is received even
if its junk.
You could also do the reverse and play a sound when spam is
detected, I'm sure some people would enjoy hearing their
spam going through the shredder. :)

I just checked in a notification sound mechanism to latest
CVS. There isn't any UI for configuring it yet, so for now
you'll need to configure it manually as per the instructions
in patch [ 858925].

Update: there is a UI for this now, and it's in 1.1a1.
It's possible that this could be extended to a mail icon, as
suggested here.
