Hmm , actually I found I had to do it slightly differently

Here is the script that I was hacking away on, someone may find it 
usefull. It is run from cron.

I would welcome any feedback anyone wants to make about it.

#This script backs up spam and ham used for sa-learn into the defined 
#directory, the purpose of this is to speed up daily learning times. As
#you may have guessed I am using an IMAP based server (courier)

#'GLOBALS DEFINITION

#The reason for this is that I am using thunderbird's spam capabilities 
#to automatically identify spam on the client side. For me personally 
#but not for the rest of the staff this means that I will also be dumping 
#previously identified spam into the SpamEscaped directory. 
#There is no point in sending messages to be identified twice so this is 
#basically just a bit of housekeeping.
