[Users] moving spam to unsure / trash. Spam already downloaded. Can it be done?

I have some thousand of messages already downloaded from a pop3 account.

Usually these messages are filtered during download, with the alrealy trained bogofilter plugin, and most (95% or more) goes directly to trash. Normally less than 1% need some actual attention.

When I leave the office for some days, these messages add to some (or many) thousands. Due to an odd bug of the bogofilter plugin, or claws, or my specific config (kubuntu 12.04 lts), the filtering proccess sort of "hangs" in this condition of too much messages. When I restart claws with --debug option, it seems that the firtering resumes, and I can follow the filter progress looking in the terminal output. But the messages are not moved to trash.

Now I have some thousand of messages already downloaded, and would like to run the bogofilter plugin on them, to move the selected messages to trash based on its own spamicity.

Can it be done? Just running the filters do not do the job. I have not found any obvious way to deal with them.

By the way, if I could program the bogofilter call in the filters table, this problem would be trivial to solve.

Regards,

Ivan
