Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

Please make the Spam folders normal folders (like "Sent" and "Drafts") and make it possible to choose the Spam folder destination in the preferences just like "Sent" and "Drafts".

Advantages :

- makes the interface more consistant (no reason that Sent and Spam folders have to be treated differently
- makes it possible to add filters that move mails in this spam folder even if they are not marked as spam by any spam plugin (like filtering on sender name, subject, whatever)
- many people have already basic spam filtering server side but without this enhancement it's not possible to make the spams filtered server side and client side end up in the same folder
- when several people access the same account spam filtering must not be redone for each client as the mails would be actually moved into a folder
