 * install "spamassassin" via synaptic
 * launch evolution
 * go to Edit -> Preferences -> Mail Preferences -> Junk
 * enable at least the first option box.		  * On the top panel, visit '''System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager'''.
   * Search for "''spamassassin''".

   * Go to '''Mail Accounts''', select your email account, and click '''[Edit]'''.
   * Click the '''Receiving Options''' tab, and select "''Check New Messages For Junk Content''". MurrayCumming: My Evolution (in Breezy) does not have this option. Maybe it has been removed, because it seems like duplication. ["Matthew5"]: Nor does mine.

Spamassassin itself requires no setup in most cases. If you really wanted to know all that, open the Gnome Help browser ('''System -> Help'''), type ''Ctrl-l'' (for "'''L'''ocation), and in the box type "''man:spamassassin''". Alternatively, you could open a terminal ('''Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal''') and type "''man spamassassin''". There is additional documentation in "''/usr/share/doc/spamassassin''". ('''Places -> Home Folder''', type ''Ctrl-l'' ('''L'''ocation), then enter "''/usr/share/doc/spamassassin''".)
