Option 1: if you still have the messages you filtered to "nospam," delete
(-d) them from "nospam" and insert (-i) them into "nonspam."

If option 1 doesn't work for you, it's not super-easy :-(

Option 2: See question 11 in the FAQ file.  It briefly describes the 
format of the .idata file.  If you're familiar with perl (or similar 
scripting language), it shouldn't take long to write a script that does 
what you want to do.

Option 3: This would be nice functionality to have in the ifile 
executable.  Option '--move-folder' could move stats from one folder to 
another and delete the move-from folder.  Option '--delete-folder' could 
delete a folder.  I can offer lots of e-mail help if you take a shot at 
writing the code :-)
