That makes things a lot easier. > At the moment I am relying on the group name -- that sucks. :) If we do not move the mails away, however, we need to make sure that every mail is processed only once. Would it be possible to add an additional header or flag when processing a mail? The alternative to using a flag is one magic group such as mail.spam: Process all new mail, move it to mail.spam. If the user then moves mail from a group to mail.spam, we can undo the "good" scores for that mail and redo a "bad" score for it -- and the other way around. The current approach is very much like this (although still incomplete). Alex.
