+1.It's fundamentally no different from clients trying to replace the \Deleted keyword with a Trash mailbox, and has all the related issues, which we presumably all know. (Or else can find the attempt at documenting them I once tried).
This is compounded by the state being a tristate rather than binary - messages are "Ham", or "Spam", or else "The user has not expressed any decision". Should I move all my messages into another folder to mark them as good ham?
