I like to check the spam from time to time as well, but am happiest to do it in 
Popfile and not have it get anywhere near Zoe or my mail client. You could 
probably argue that it doesn't make any difference, but perceptually it's 
more elegant, and in computers, as in life, perception is everything!

No, I just use a browser interface. My ISPs happen to have their own facility 
but if yours doesn't you should be able to use mail2web.com or a similar 
service. I don't mark as Unread, just forward the mail to another account. 
I have three accounts, all of which are fetched by Zoe and Opera M2, so as 
all my mail ends up in the same place it doesn't really matter which account 
it goes to. With one ISP the only option is to Forward the messages, the 
other ISP also allows Redirect (ie bounce). 
If you want to keep the message in the same account presumably you 
could send it to yourself (ie the same To and From account).

Like you, I have Zoe leave messages on the server, and I clean them out 
manually every once in a while. You never know when you might want to 
change software do you! Of course one of the great things about using 
Zoe for both SMTP and POP is that Zoe creates a copy so that you have 
an automatic backup of all of your messages.
