	Hi,
if I got your description properly, then your "Spidey Spam Stopper" is
independent of the mail reading application, the only limitation is that
the application should be able to read a Maildir folder, and that's
basically what you call "integration"?

You can create a new account in Evolution, of type Local Maildir, and
point to your ~/Maildir directory, which will create a new node in a
folder tree with your messages in that directory.

If you meant a different integration, like setup widgets and such, then
there are EPlugin-s for you. In Evolution sources see the 'plugins'
directory, where are stored all internal plugins.

Maybe specify what kind of integration you meant.
	Bye,
	Milan
