I got IMAP to work with Evolution by specifying "mail/" as the namespace (thanks to David Woodhouse for this). But I still can't figure out how to get spamassassin to work with Evolution. (This is a separate issue but it may be related to how the mail is fetched.) I'm willing to use offlineimap to fetch my mail, especially if I can get spamassassin into the flow. Do you have any experience with spamassassin?
