Nope, I'm using Courier and Maildirs. I get a LOT of mail, and the folder in question can have upwards of 3000 messages. Again, I could tweak the timeout to stop this, but who wants to wait that long to do this? >>> 2) A way to quickly move messages to a Spam folder (probably user >>> configurable).
