The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

What to do with all my email....

Asked by dignified in Miscellaneous

Tags: deleting, server, thunderbird

Alright, basically, I use 3 different computers. I used to use Windows 10% fo the time and Linux 90% of the time. Few days ago I got a powerbook and now I want to use it most of the time since I can xhost to use some of the linux programs I like to use for programming. I currently work for the university I just graduated from. We get about 40 megs for an inbox. But just last month I got about 5000 junk mails.

On every platform I use thunderbird. I think it does a great job at spam filtering. It is annoying that so far I have been retraining thunderbird on each OS to detect spam. My best rules are set in Linux and I have been using windows and mac so far to only download email but not delete it off the server. In linux I actually download and delete it off the server and this is where I keep a record of everything.

I am looking to see what other people have done to get around this. I could use imap but I'm stuck with what to do about spam and I only get 40MB or so of storage. I want to have my thunderbird filtering files mirrored across all three computers at the very least.

I'm sure lots of people deal with this, but jsut wondering how they handle their email.
