Are you saying that you are fiddling around with the mailfolder that evo
already has open over imap?  Effectively you have two imap processes
both trying to do things with the same inbox?

I've just had a look at the spambayes web page and it does indeed look
like it talks to the imap server directly.  In my exprience, multiple
clients connected to the same imap mailboxes is a problem - not just for
Evo, but for other clients as well.  I think it depends on how much they
cache and what the cache coherency algorithms are like - it also depends
a lot on the specific imap daemon the server uses.

10 minutes isn't by any chance the interval between checking for new
mails?
