moving emails labeled as SPAM

Hello,

i've AVG antivirus, and it filters my SPAM. AVG add the text "[SPAM]" in the
header of my email.

Well, i tried to create a rule that when i receive a email labeled as SPAM
in the header, outlook moves the email into one folder.

The problem is that avg don't renames the email in the same moment that the
emails come, avg renames 2 seconds (or similar) after the email is received.

I don't know if i can create a rule for this case.

thanks

Not sure if you can do anything automatic then since Outlook's Rules Wizard
operates upon receipt. You can either do something manually or use Outlook's
Junk Email feature(s).

No it doesn't. AVG Anti-Virus is an antivirus program only. AVG Internet
Security, a commercial product, does contain an antispam component.

Probably not, if the program works after reception. Antispam products that
act as proxies (i.e. that sit between the mail client and the server, acting
as server for the client and client for the server) can manipulate the
subject prior to the client seeing it, so it still is an incoming message to
the client and the rules will run. A short perusal of the AVG IS
documentation doesn't say a lot about the antispam funtion, although, since
it appears to support RBLs, it could be a proxy application, but the
documentation also calls it a "plug-in", so it's hard to say. Contact
Grisoft and find out for sure.
