Yes, obviously.

But I do not yet have the infrastructure to get mails delivered
directly (sad enough). Instead I was reading with upas/fs.

To use the bayesian filter, I planned to get the remote mails home. It
seems like I tend to try doing this on plan9 on a wrong way, e.g. I
thought it was good idea to give them to my pipeto file. The problem
with upas/spam was of the same kind like that occuring with that
approach.

But my idea seem bullshit at all.

Would it be a better way to 'msgcat /imap/my.imap.server/myaccount' to
get remotely stored mails given to the local upas/smtp?

Which way is the easiest?
