This bug has been opened since 2004. Isn't there some kind of interim fix that can be presented like putting some kind of spam filtering proxy in as an option that circumvents Evolution's nasty way of doing this? Or perhaps a preconfigured fetchmail/spambayes pairing that is installed together with Evolution? Or something?
