Hello,

I have implemented IMAP spam filter. This makes use of IMAP's SEARCH
and finds spam messages and refiles/deletes them in your IMAP
server. Thus, you don't have to fetch(scan) them to %inbox. This
filter works as a preprocess of "s" on %inbox.

* This works for %inbox only.
* Because of the limitation of the IMAP protocol, this filter is not
  effective if %inbox contains many messages.

If you are using bogofilter and want to refile spam messages to
%trash, put the folloings to your ".mew":

	(setq mew-imap-spam-field "X-Bogosity") ;; Do NOT append ":" 
	(setq mew-imap-spam-word "Yes")
	(setq mew-imap-trash-folder "%trash") ;; nil means really delete

You can also configure them with mew-config-alist.

Since messages in %trash increase automatically, you should not forget
to manage %trash. :-)
