Comment 8 for bug 62192

Is this not a duplicate of https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/9870 ?

I'm reluctant to mark 62192 as a dupe, as others may feel they are separate problems, but from reading 9870, it seems to me that spam filtering has been mangled in Evolution for years, this isn't something new.

For example, https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/48872 also concerns mangling.

To me, these seem to be symptons of the same underlying problem: Evolution's spam filter doesn't work out of the box, cannot be trained without counter-intuitive actions (mark as spam, then ham), and does not cooperate with user addins (which shouldn't be necessary, IMHO).

On that last note, https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/37878 seems to come from this same underlying problem.

Would the problem get more or less attention and TLC if these bugs were all marked dupe of a 2+ year old high importance confirmed bug?
