Just looking at imapfilter.py as it is - appending the trained messages
to the mailbox will mess up the original delivery date on most mailboxes,
and may also make a seen but unrated message unseen again. The code also
doesn't seem like it's checking for UIDVALIDITY responses. 

The comment:
        # we can't actually update the message with IMAP
        # XXX (someone tell me if this is wrong!)

is correct. This is why you might want to consider using flags instead
of re-writing the message.
