I guess the answer is still "NO!". IMHO the reason for this is that when nnimap splits, it only loads the headers and not the bodies of the articles, so that the spam recognition which is based on the bodies may not be used. However, wouldn't it be possible to tell nnimap.el to download articles completly (with bodies) when doing the splitting. AFAIK, then the spam stuff should be feasable. (when articles are downloaded they may as well be copied to cache or agent as well). On a related note, if articles where downloaded completely they may even be split into non-imap backends. Can there be spam filtering for nnimap? Cheers, Arnd.
