Let us know if you find one. I don't think there are any out there.

I had one, forgot name, needed too much info for entry which was hard
to get on a phone.

The spam filter is only used for things like Trip Advisor and
companies that send too much junk emails.

I'm looking at it right now... K9 doesn't support filtering.

I'm pretty sure it does:

After you have trained it a bit, K9 knows spam from good mail pretty 
precisely. But if only K9 knows the benefit for you is negligible.

There must be a way for K9 to communicate this knowledge about spam to 
you -- or your email client for automatic filtering. As it turns out, 
there is more than one way.

You can have K9 mark spam in the Subject so you can spot it at a glance. 
This Subject-line marking is also useful if you use an email client that 
can only filter on a few header lines (Outlook Express for example).

If you want to have junk mail moved to a special folder silently, you 
can tell K9 to add a custom header line to messages it identifies as 
spam. Then your email client can filter mail based on this line.

To configure how K9 marks spam:

Open K9.
Go to the Configuration tab.
Select the desired marking method under Mark emails as Spam by....

That is not the product being discussed. In this discussion, K-9 is an 
Android email client. 

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fsck.k9

You are talking about K9, a trainable email filter for Windows POP3 
clients. Development ceased in 2004.

http://keir.net/k9.html

K-9 has no filtering features.

Sorry, I don't know of one for Android, possibly because spam filtering
is heavy on CPU. I'd tell you if I knew of one.

I prefer local filtering to server filtering, because I have more
control on what to consider spam and what not. My ISP silently rejects
emails without telling me, some posts do not even get to the spam
folder. And they are perfectly valid posts, like, for instance, asking
about if a certain URL is good or bad guys.

I don't know. You tell me.

a) You didn't ask that (or any other) question. You started the thread 
musing about Aquamail and that was all.

b) What is so hard about responding to a suggestion?

The heading is plenty vague. Are you asking about Auqamail or the "Pro 
version" or what? If you want a coherent answer, you have to ask a 
coherent question. 

Question marks help.

Well, you didn't ask an actual question. But I tried to guess what 
question you would be asking, had you asked an actual question, and I 
gave an answer for that question... an answer which you apparently 
didn't like.

You asked about "spam filtering" in the topic. Spam filtering is 
completely different from general filtering. It is so simple.

What is so hard asking if an email client has filtering ?

The article you quote is not about an email client. The fact that they 
talk about Outlook Express should be a clue that the product is not 
even for Android.
