Re: [Evolution] How do you retroactively train Bogofilter's spam / ham filters on multiple computers using existing messages (on an IMAP account)?

        Hi,
you are right, the use case with multiple clients is "a problem".
According to a code comment, there is no indication that the message
had been marked as not-junk, which might confuse the users, maybe. The
idea is that you do not need to pass the same message multiple times to
the spam filtering software.

A "workaround" can be to add a message which was not mark as junk nor
not-junk yet into the folder and then select all the messages, which
will enable both of the actions.

As you mentioned, copying the bogofilter database can be done too, only
make sure you use the same bogofilter version on both machines, to
avoid problems in case the two versions would expect different database
format.

        Bye,
