People do this all > of the time. So do I. I haven't said it's wrong to train from Maildir, the issue is that Ian's script trains from the new/ directory and then moves it to cur/. When you train from a Maildir that's accessed from a client you need to train from the cur/ directory (or both new/ and cur/), and either leave it in that Maildir or move it to another. > Ian does it. I do it. I don't know how many times I have to repeat this before you understand, but Ian doesn't use the conventional training folders that the OP was asking about. His scheme is reliable because his folders aren't opened in IMAP or an MUA. He acknowledged this in his own reply to my original comment. When I looked at Ian's script it was obvious that it either didn't work for Ian or he was holding something back that the OP needed to know. Either way a clarification seemed important. You accuse me of being negative, but all I've done is present technical issues. You've made little effort to understand them or address my points on a technical level, you've spent a lot of time misrepresenting my motives and accusing me of being confused. Which of us is being negative?
