This is perhaps not a question directly about Mutt, but members of this list might have useful insights to offer.
Mutt is preferable to any Web browser for accessing G-Mail, and this is particularly true for inspecting the Spam folder, since in Mutt it is much more difficult to unintentionally click on a dangerous hyperlink or open a malicious attachment, and various exploits that might be inserted into an e-mail message won't work in a text-based e-mail client like Mutt. (If I'm not mistaken, trackers, for example, will not work in an e-mail message opened in Mutt.) The only problem concerns false positives in the Spam folder. In the G-Mail Web interface, one can click on a button indicating that a particular message is not spam, and presumably this feeds into some machine-learning process making it less likely that similar messages will be caught in the G-Mail spam filter. Does anyone know if there is a way of doing this via IMAP connection through Mutt? It is certainly possible to connect with Mutt, go to the Spam folder, and save a message that is not actual spam to the Inbox folder; however, I don't know if moving the e-mail out of the Spam folder in this way has the same effect as clicking the "Not Spam" button in the Web interface. Does anyone have any idea about this? Best regards, Greg Marks
