My first try resulted in connection/login problems, but I was using SpamPal 1.50. When I upgraded to the most recent version (1.53), the connection problems went away. However, I don't see the inbox.spamtrap folder that was supposed to get created. I have shut down and restarted The Bat, tried synching all folders, showing all folders... still no inbox.spamtrap folder. Should I just create that? I just now verified that this doesn't seem like a TB problem - I just checked the account via IMAP web interface and that folder is not there.

Just follow the same instructions as with POP. Set your Transport settings as follows: SMTP Server: 127.0.0.1 (Provided you've set SpamPal up to process outgoing mail - see below) Mail Server: 127.0.0.1 User: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamPal is pre-configured to process IMAP mail to port 143.

Please disregard. I was thinking of something else. Spampal claims to work with POP or IMAP accounts. I stopped using it before because I didn't like the changing of subject lines (for false positives). I have since seen that you can disable this and filter on the SpamPal header entry. -- Ken Green Using The Bat! v1.62r on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 4 Current version is 2.02.3 CE | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Did you do anything different when setting this up? Or was the only different in The Bat! that it's using the IMAP protocol? I know you are having trouble with IMAP in general :( but would you mind posting any relevant details/hints/instructions for setting up SpamPal in The Bat using IMAP?

Interesting I was under the impression that Spampal was POP only. Sorry to hear about your access violations with IMAP - that definitely is a problem.

I've been testing Spampal with TB and IMAP. I've got several POP accounts and one test IMAP account, all running through Spampal (127.0.0.1). So far, so good. Spampal automatically set-up an IMAP folder called inbox.spamtrap. All the suggested spam goes in there. I found that to be very interesting. I have no filters set-up on the IMAP account. My main complaint is the frequent access violations I get with TB's IMAP implementation.

IMAP and spam
I know that both Spampal and K9 appear to be popular spamkill programs, but they are for POP3 servers (as are most client-side spam filters). What do people use for IMAP-based accounts? I do have the ability to enable Spam Assasin at the server level, which may be my answer.
