Vista - Junk Mail Filter Sucks

The junk mail filter in Vista Windows Mail totally sucks, and that is being
very kind. The program does also, but the filter is by far the worst of any
email program I have ever seen.

Is there an way to uninstall this piece of junk and go back to Outlook
Express, or is there an alternative email program that a GOOD junk mail
filter that actually WORKS, like Cloudmark will work with?

It is only catching about half the junk mail - and it does not seem to be
"learning" as it should.

And about 25% of what it thinks is junk is NOT - and again, time after time
I have to keep telling it that every email from Yahoo or Gmail is NOT junk.

Sorry, WM's junk filter has no learning ability. You may want to
look for a third party add-on such as K9 or POPFile.
OE will not run in Vista.

And apparently Cloudmark, the best filter I have found for OE, will not run
with Vista.. sigh..

Cloudmark has been reported to cause big problems for OE.

I used Cloudmark for 2 years with OE and never had a single problem.
