Arnd> Can there be spam filtering for nnimap?

Isn't it natural when using imap to do the spam filtering on the
server? This way all your MUAs will benefit from the filtering.

The problem from the MUAs perspective is how to feedback
reclassifications to the server. The best I have come up with so far,
not tested, is to move the articles to special folders for
reclassification and then use a cronjob for feeding the articles to
the statistic engine and eventually the correct folder.

This scheme would suggest that spam.el should support a simple move to
a special mark-as-ham or mark-as-spam folder. A quick look at spam.el
doesn't reveal such simple functionality. It seems targeted to feeding
the articles to the statistics engine directly. (Or am I missing
something?)

Related: Anybody who have tried the scheme outlined above with imap
and spam filtering with statistics?
