Re: [Evolution] Spamassassin, Junk/Not-Junk, Training

[Not Zed <notzed ximian com>]

You can do this already, simply set-up a filter where you filter on the
x-spam* header, as appropriate.

The junk/not junk will run through the sa-learn stuff, it doesn't
actually move the mail anywhere, the junk folder is only a vfolder.

If you already have the subject altered, you can similarly just mark the
mail as junk in a filter.
