If you have configured your account to filter spam to a spam mailbox or use the spambox feature available in your control panel, there are often times when you wish to move valid email to your inbox, or just delete all the spam without logging into webmail or use a full imap compatible email program. Also using webmail or an email program can make it difficult to determine who’s mailboxes are taking up how much space etc.
We highly recommend a free product called IMAPSize that we have recently found that allows you to manage your email accounts via IMAP. It has a lot of features that make it very easy for your site administrator, or even a single user.
