Better handling of spam folder: Special folder, aggregate view, tag as "not spam", etc. #412

I received an email. Went in spam folder. I didn't think to check. It was an important email. Not spam. I had nothing prompting me to go check there. Not good.

We should:

Have a obvious way to see if there is new/unread spam.
Add Spam as a special folder like Trash and Sent, knowing that an external process is likely set up to move suspected spam.
Have a button to identify a message as "not spam" and move it back to relevant inbox. And if possible, teach the server that it's not spam (is there a standard for this?)

Thanks!

If there is any standard for that, I'm ok with this proposal. But if not (and I don't know of any), I'm strongly against yeat another button (or any UI extension in this regard) because the functionality is equivalent to "move to another folder" (duplicating functionality is UX anti-pattern).

I thought directly, did Marc not asked for the same a couple of months ago ?
