How is it the same? Already read messages in inbox means the user has
"accepted" those messages without trashing them or junking them.
If you can make sure that your users *really* delete or move spam to the
right places, then it works, yes.
That, of course, is the crux of the biscuit.
I used to have a couple of users who treated their Trash folder as
long-term read-message storage. After reading most messages they'd move
them to Trash, and _never_ _purge_ _it_. I couldn't break them of this
habit, even after purging their Trash folder from the server a couple of
times. ("Oops! Disk failure! Well, that was trash, you can afford to lose
that.")
But I fear there is a chance that users just "walk" over spam and let it
stay as (depending on the mail client) it may just not be visible
anymore which may be good enough for them.
Or delete it rather than moving it to .Junk
I'll modify my earlier comment - it sounds good, assuming you have a high
degree of users behaving they way you want them to.
