Summary: Add "ham" folder to sb_imapfilter.py (and others?)

Initial Comment:
A "ham" output folder would be useful.

ie:  Read folder "INBOX", copy spam to INBOX.SPAM,
unsure messages to INBOX.Unsure, and ham to INBOX.Ham.
 This option could be defaulted to whichever folder(s)
are marked for classification.

This feature will be useful on IMAP servers, as
messages are manipulated on the server, rather than
filtered through a SpamBayes application.  I don't
think it would be applicable to the POP3 filter or
procmail applications.

Why?

I will frequently notice and act on an email in my
inbox before Spambayes has a chance to classify it,
resulting in confused flags.  Secondly (and this might
be considered a bug in the mail app) if the mail app
retrieves the headers for a mail before it is
classified it will process it through it's filters,
which may then result in a second (classified) copy
being re-filtered and moved.  Adding an
"X-Spambayes-Classification" check to each filter rule
is clunky and has given inconsistant results.

Addition of a "ham" folder will allow me to monitor for
messages that have already been classified. 
Duplication, deletion and race condition issues
disappear with this setup, as it effectively turns
SpamBayes from another client accessing the mailbox to
a filter.
