With most backends, mail storage formats -- be it local or IMAP -- "moving spam out of the Inbox" isn't sufficient to have it *clean*. The source message that's just "moved" out often still physically remains in the folder, unnoticed, until one expunges (compact in TB lingo).

Without that step, training the Inbox as ham might learn all those pesky, sneaky spam as ham too, which the user believes has been moved...

Oh, ouch. I didn't think of that aspect...

Just a side-note. :)

And a very good one. Thanks.
