+.SH ALLOWING APPENDS?
+
+You should be careful with allowing APPENDs to SPAM folders. The reason
+for possibly allowing it is to allow not-SPAM --> SPAM transitions to work
+with offlineimap. However, because with APPEND the plugin cannot know the
+source of the message, multiple bad scenarios can happen:
+
+.IP " 1." 4
+SPAM --> SPAM transitions cannot be recognised and are trained
+
+.IP " 2." 4
+the same holds for Trash --> SPAM transitions
+
+.PP
+Additionally, because we cannot recognise SPAM --> not-SPAM transitions,
+training good messages will never work with APPEND.
