How to Enable the Learning Bayesian Spam Filter in MailWasher

Of the many spam filtering tricks up MailWasher Pro's sleeve, the most potent is the Bayesian filtering. It lets you classify messages easily and learns with every action you take. Quickly, few interventions will be necessary and MailWasher Pro can spot most spam precisely while leaving the good mail for you to read in your email client.
