I'm afraid I don't understand. If the client is not connected, then it will not fetch (download) the message at that time. If it later downloads the message and immediately moves it into spam folder (immediately after download, not after the message arrives) then it is a mark of a filter action. The client must download the message first in order for the filter to analyze it and move it into spam folder; it can't move it to the spam filter without downloading. So if move to the spam folder occurs immediately after downloading, it is probably caused by a filter. It has nothing to do with message arrival time. -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa r...@rafa.eu.org -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub." _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
