I looked a little bit further and i found not a solution at all, but something that might help some more experienced user to find out the reason why spam filtering does not work:

- I cannot find nowhere any reference database where bsfilter builds its own "database" (where the learned patterns or so are stored). The only bsfilter referred files are in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Sylpheed
bsfilter
bsfilterw.exe

Differently from ClawsMail, there are no bsfilter referenced files in C:\Users\<myusername>\AppData\Roaming\Sylpheed

- With sylfilter the problem is the same, but at least i see there is a - seperate - folder C:\Users\<myusername>\AppData\Roaming\SylFilter containing
\tmp (a folder)
clean.db
junk.db
status.dat
sylfilter

And i can see these files are rebuild any time i use a spam filtering command in Extras (filter selected files spam respectively filter selected folder for spam).

May be to use sylfilter with sylpheed these folder/files should be within the C:\Users\<myusername>\AppData\Roaming\Sylpheed folder?

And for bsfilter there should exist something similar? And if so, how should i told bsfilter to build it?

Newly, thanks a lot in advance for any pointer!
