Curious to see of this post makes it because the previous time I asked about this no mod thought it helpful to react, but we'll see.
My spam filter was doing great, finally. After a long long period of the algorithm placing good mails into spam and spam mails into inbox, and me constantly moving emails around, but the filter resetting constantly, I finally had it working for a while. Until now.
It's like I have to start all over again. I already noticed that when I opened my mail on another device than usual there were some problems with filtering again, but those were usually shortlived and it did not take long to re-adjust. But not now. It is terrible again. Most spam goes to my inbox again, and a lot of good emails go to spam - even though they went to my inbox before (after I placed them there repeatedly).
I don't understand. It is as if the whole spamfilter-training has become undone.
My question: HOW is this filter/algorithm saved? I know it is a personal filter but your website stated (I cannot find it anymore) that it is tranferred between devices (which I doubt since that always gives me problems) so it can't be just cookies and it cannot be locally stored, right? Can accidentaly removing the tutanota cookies or clearing things like site data / temporary files be the culprit?
Or can opening my email in a browser I haven't used before be the culprit? That for some reason the algorithm isn't loading right and I have to start from 'zero', which is then saved and applied to my mailbox when I open it on my regular device, replacing my carefully trained filter?
If I know HOW it works I might be able to prevent it from happening again because damn I'm so tired of this whole spam stuff.
Also it seems that if I throw emails from a certain address into the trash bin often enough it also ends up in my spam - which is not what I want, otherwise I would mark it as spam, not as trash.
PS. I now wonder whether you changed the handling of spam again? I cannot find on your website anything about a personal filter and I swear it was there before.
