Many people ask about how to use SpamBayes with a BlackBerry - particularly how to avoid having spam appear on the BlackBerry.

Robert Mezzone offered this advice on the [WWW]mailing list:

""" The BB synch with corporate email is immediate. There isn't much you do to delay it, I haven't been able to find a setting on the BB server. However, the following will work in a corporate environment with wireless email reconciliation turned on. Never tested in a standalone configuration..

Make the Junk Email and Junk Suspects folders subfolders of the Inbox and have the BB software synch your Inbox and it's subfolders. Set the handheld to hide filed messages. The email will be delivered to the handheld. Spambayes will process the messages and move it if necessary. After a few minutes the BB will do a wireless synch and move it to the corresponding folder on the BB. With filed messages hidden the message disappears, but still exists on the handheld.

The nice thing is, you can view the messages in the junk-suspects folder on the BB. If it's HAM, file it in the BB's Inbox, a wireless synch will occur, move it to the Outlook Inbox and Spambayes will retrain on the message. Same will work if you file it in the Junk-Email. folder on the BB.

So you can actually train Spambayes from a BB.... """

With SpamBayes 1.1, you will be able to set ham to be moved/copied, like you can with spam/unsure mail. I (TonyMeyer) think that this means that you will be able to get SpamBayes to move ham to a folder, and have the BlackBerry only sync that folder (or get Outlook to process rules on mail going into that folder, rather than all arriving mail). Time will tell!
