The latest is that "Outlook doesn't have a Trash folder so a rogue mail
client must have made it"
I have another mail account on one of those Exchange servers, it has a
Trash folder, and it contains the usual sort of junk mail and spam that
goes there. Of course Claws-Mail manages that mail account, and I
didn't find any oddities there at all.

I realise that they have stopped attacking me personally and have moved
the attack to the software.
Now I have to believe that 
Claws-Mail made a new folder without my intervention; made up
nonsensical filter rules which overrode earlier filter rules;
transferred the mail into the new folder but remained non-subscribed,
and was not asked to check non-subscribed folders.

The second university with whom I have dealings and also an Exchange
account has two sets of tech support. One for the plebs, and one for
the nerds. Sounds like a good idea.
