My experience is that public spam and ham folders is quite usefull as
they let everyone benefit from each others training. However, I've seen
that you need to clear out the spamfolder quite often as it becomes too
big to process.

I've never had problems with users accidently moving mails into the
spamfolder.

I usually just do this manually, but I'm wondering if someone has a perl
oneliner of some kind for doing this via the imapinterface.
