Summary: Allow Outlook plugin to move ham to a designated folder

Initial Comment:
It would be nice to be able to move ham messages from
wherever SpamBayes finds them to a user-specified
folder. There are at least two scenarios where this
would be useful:

- When Exchange is configured to filter messages, it
puts what it considers to be certain/possible junk in
Junk/Junk candidates folders. Since its filtering isn't
as good as SpamBayes (when well-trained), it's helpful
to have SpamBayes filter the Junk folders and put real
spam elsewhere. Without the ability to move ham,
though, any ham remains in the Junk folders.
- Guaranteeing the order of processing of Outlook rules
and SpamBayes filtering. See

Well, I take it back.  Turns out Outlook can't redirect email 
without changing the "from" and "reply to" addresses, so even 
if Spambayes puts all the ham in one folder, there's no way 
to get it to the Blackberry web client account.  Sigh....

Seems to me there's a huge unmet need here:  There's no 
way to apply *any* client-side spam filtering technology to a 
blackberry account that doesn't have either blackberry 
enterprise server or exchange server + desktop redirector 
running, which in effect means private individuals have to live 
with the generic server side spam filters their ISP's provide.

Sorry - this hasn't been updated for a bit.  The dialog has
been remodelled and you can configure this from it now
(which means this can be closed).

There's an estimate for the timeline here:

<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/spambayes/2005-January/015842.html>
(also one here: <http://spambayes.org/developer.html>)

As you can see, it's a little behind since 1.1 was hoped to
be out at the end of January, and it's the start of Feb.  If
you push all the dates back a week, that would be a
reasonable guess.

Glad to hear this is going to make it.  I don't think that this 
will be a rarely used feature, as it's the only reliable way to 
make Spambayes interact predictably with Outlook rules.  
This will enable a number of good things, for example reliable 
forwarding/synching of only filtered messages to a blackberry 
or PDA.  Suggest you reconsider and put a button on the 
dialog, but either way I'm delighted to have the functionality.

When will 1.1 be available?

I've added code to allow this (it will appear in 1.1).  At
the moment this can only be conifgured by manually editing
the Outlook.ini (or {profilename}.ini) file, since there
isn't really any room for another set of options in the
Manager dialog at the moment.

I don't want to resize the dialog just for this, since it's
not likely to be used much and is really and advanced
option.  However, if it does get resized for something else,
I'll see if this will then fit.  Leaving open until then.
