spam filtering with bogofilter

[Gour]

Hello,

I'm trying to modify functions for registering mail as spam/ham with
Spamassassin posted in the list some time ago, to work with Bogofilter spam
filter...

The code looks as follows:

;; handling spam with Bogofilter
(defun mark-message-as (type)
(let* ((path (mu4e-message-field-at-point :path))
(command (format "/usr/bin/bogofilter %s < %s" type path)))
(shell-command command)))

(defun mark-message-as-spam ()
(interactive)
(mark-message-as "-s")
(mu4e~proc-move (mu4e-message-field-at-point :message-id) "../spam"))

(defun mark-message-as-ham ()
(interactive)
(mark-message-as "-n")
(mu4e~proc-move (mu4e-messsage-field-at-point :message-id) "../inbox"))

(add-to-list 'mu4e-headers-actions
'("Mark as spam" . mark-message-as-spam) t)

The first problem which I encounter is that when I invoke
mark-message-as-spam, I can confirm that the Bogofilter's wordlist.db is
updated, but at the end I get:

mu4e-error: [mu4e] Target dir does not exist

and in Messages buffer I also see the line:

(Shell command succeeded with no output)

My setup looks as follows:

(setq mu4e-maildir "~/Maildir")

and the multiple accounts are setup as:

(defvar my-mu4e-account-alist
'(("gour"
(msmtp-account "gour")
(mu4e-sent-folder "/gour/sent")
(mu4e-drafts-folder "/gour/drafts")
(mu4e-trash-folder "/gour/trash")
(mu4e-refile-folder "/archive")
(user-mail-address "go...@atmarama.net")
(user-full-name "Gour")
(mu4e-compose-signature-auto-include t)
(message-cite-reply-position above)
(message-cite-style message-cite-style-outlook))
...
))

There is e.g. ~/Maildir/gour/spam folder, so I do not have clue why there is
error saying the 'Target dir does not exist' ?

Another problem is that despite having "Mark as spam" action added as header
actions (it's according to the
http://www.djcbsoftware.nl/code/mu/mu4e/Adding-an-action-in-the-headers-view.html
doc), still it's not listed in the Headers menu withing mu4e?

Any help is welcome...


Sincerely,
Gour

Better not use any internal (mu4e~...) functions; there are all kinds of
subtleties, so those are specifically not meant for use in user
functions.

I'd recommend creating a mu4e headers action instead
(`mu4e-headers-actions').

Cheers,
Dirk.

Ahh, thank you for pointing it out...Learning something new. ;)

Is it possible to e.g. use. mu4e-header-mark-for-move and pass the
destination folder as parameter?

Any example would be useful...

Something like this might work:

(defun my-mark-as-spam ()
"Mark as spam."
(interactive)
;; do bogofilter stuff
(mu4e-mark-at-point 'move "/spam"))

Cheers,
Dirk.

Thank you.

Considering that I have multi-accounts setup, I wonder if there is an easy
way to move message to the spam folder belonging to each account,
iow. /Maildir/account-x/spam, or I should be satisfied to simply create
common spam folder and move everything ther as in the above example?
