IMAP Spam Software? Free?

Can anyone recommend SPAM software that works with IMAP email accounts?

Oh, and Id prefer it if you know it works rather than suggesting one that has it listed on the documentation.

A lot of the ones I have tried that claim to be IMAP compatible, aren't.

Sorry for sounding terse.

    I have been trying for ages to find a decent piece of IMAP compatible anti-spam software as I use a really obscure email client.

    In the end I decided to install MS Outlook (as it is compatible with a number of free spam filters) and downloaded SpamBayes. However, having set it up to work with Outlook, I find that it should be compatible to work with IMAP mail boxes directly (though I have only used it via the Outlook plug-in).

    So far SpamBayes is the only anti-spam solution I have found that works without either deleting legitimate mail or just allowing every mail into my inbox!

    You can download it here: http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/

    What Is SpamPal?
    SpamPal is a mail classification program that can help separate your spam from the mail you really want to read.

    What do I need to use SpamPal?
    A machine running Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, 2003 or XP.
    A POP3 or IMAP4 mailbox.
    A standard email program such as Outlook, Outlook Express or Eudora.

    It could have been worse. At least source code's not combustible, or you can bet somebody at McAfee would have lit it.
