shouldn't break anything. if the MUA is caching "actions" (happens with
thunderbird at least), then the view in the client will be different but
this is not a big problem (at least for me).
So on the server I could run something simple like:
#!/bin/bash
bogofilter -Ns -B /home/karl/Maildir/.s-2B-scaned_spam
mv ~/Maildir/.s-2B-scaned_spam/cur/* ~/Maildir/.archived_spam/cur/
Afterwards the MUA 'view' of the folder might not be correct until thunderbird re-caches the
folder?
Is there a command line tool that would allow for moving emails that would do it in a way
that dovecot and the MUA would know to update caches?
.,.,
If I have two users share a mail folder, I would think the MUA 'view' would also get behind.
Is there a way to get thunderbird to re-cache a folder?

I'm looking into three separate issues: automating spam training, backup issues, and sharing
folders.
I really wish I could see a list of the ~/Maildir indexing files and what they do - probably
I don't need to know, but it might help me understand what problems I might run into
restoring a backup.
Where can I find a list of files in ~/Maildir/ and a note on what they
are? (And similarly for a ~/Maildir/.folder)
I'm wondering if everything needs to be backed up, or if I can/should
skip the indexes. What happens if any of these files changes during
the backup? (I'm thinking I shouldn't have to stop dovecot for a backup).

Misdirection is the key to being a good magician. Magicians tell
you they are doing something while they do something quite
different; much like politicians -- except we can afford magicians.
