Yeah, but I don't want to do that --- it ties me down to one specific IMAP 
server implementation.

I've found that uw-mailutils will *almost* do what I want. By using the badly 
documented command line:

mailutil move '{pyanfar/norsh/novalidate-cert}"Spam.Train as spam' \
    'INBOX'

...I can move messages from a remote server to ~/mbox, and vice versa... but 
it'll *only* work with ~/mbox, not an arbitrary file, which sucks. And I 
haven't figured out a way of preventing it from asking me my password *every 
single frigging time*, which makes it useless as an off-line script.

There's got to be something better around...
