Hi Iain,

Yes, this is a good option. I modified my workflow a bit (Spam/Ham are not watched by Sup anymore. The mails should be copied to the Spam/Ham IMAP server for learning and are automatically deleted after 5 days).

Moving the mail from the | pipe in the thread view with

cat > ~/Maildir/SpamAssassin/Spam/cur/$(cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid)

works; The mail is synced to the IMAP server with OfflineIMAP. However, how can I pass the mail below the cursor directly to a pipe command?

The following code causes an error:

class Redwood::InboxMode
  def label_spamassassin_spam
   t = cursor_thread or return
   t.apply_label :spam
   t.remove_label :inbox
   multi_toggle_new [t]
   hide_thread t
   pipe_to_process('cat > ~/Maildir/SpamAssassin/Spam/cur/$(cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid)')
   regen_text
   Index.save_thread t
   flush_index
  end
end

Thank you!

Question: do the mails need to be moved, or can they be copied?

(Side note: Sup should de-duplicate copies of mails that appear in more
than one source, i.e., should recognise that it is a duplicate of the
same message, and not show it twice. Or for simplicity, don't tell Sup
to index the SpamAssassin Maildirs!)

If making a copy is sufficient, then you can write the email to a new
file in the appropriate Maildir (since a Maildir is just a collection of
files, with each file being one email). All you need is a random
filename. For example, you could pipe to cat to create with a random
filename (a UUID), using something like:

cat >~/Maildir/SpamAssassin/Spam/$(cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid)

Kind regards,
Iain
