</div></div>Yeah, I tried to get server side filtering going on Gmail, and to no<br>
avail. It doesn't seem to support filtering, only "labeling". The best<br>
I've ever done is filter using Thunderbird, but then I have to maintain<br>
two configs, which is pretty frustrating.<font color="#888888"></font></blockquote><div><br>The really stupid part is that I set up a filter with the From address as <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a>, and the action to take as "Never Spam"... and it still doesn't work. I go to Google Mail and their resolution is "something's wrong with THEIR mail server settings. Unbelievable! If the only mail I can't get is MY OWN, then how is it possible that the Ubu mail server is the problem ?<br>
