The problem is that I leave it opened all the time (except when I have to reboot Mahogany to test new version) and so each new mail is filtered as it arrives. So it's very useful to read in the corner of the screen that it was an unimportant mail (job related) or important one (about Mahogany :-).

Yes, but I've really never heard of anyone complaining about seeing the messages about the spam being recognized as such and being moved to the trash. If anything, I'm *glad* to see them :-) Also, to be honest, I think it's nice to have a feeling of retaining some control over the program: at least you see what it is doing and can catch false positives sometimes. I don't like programs which silently do whatever they consider the right thing to be and don't even tell the user about what it is.
