Not a spam filter, but I moved from OE to Mozilla Thunderbird, and have 
never looked back. The Bayesian spam filtering works really well; took a 
couple of weeks to teach it by marking junk mail as such, and now only a 
handful of spam makes it into my inbox. False positives have been 
something like 3 out of 10,000 since I started using it ten months ago.

Thunderbird has a very similar UI to OE, so migration should be not too 
difficult; imported addresses and mailboxes without much problem.

Same UI, built in spam filtering, fewer security hassles and excellent 
reliability. Only niggle is a bug where drag/drop of text causes a 
crash. Don't know if this is fixed in current builds or not.

HTH

Cheers

Ian
