How to add IMAP folders to exclude list

I set up my gmail account with the Mail application, and it ends up downloading the spam folder. I know there is crap in there, and gmail will get rid of it after 30 days, but Sophos keeps complaining about it.

But when I try to add the folder to the exclude list, I can't. The folder is this:

/Users/USERNAME/Library/Mail/V2/IMAP-ACCOUNTNAME/[Gmail].mbox/Spam.mbox

But I can't navigate in the Library folder with the + dialog of exclude. Is there anyway to just type the directory?

Thanks

Just add any path using the [+] button. It is editable - just click in it and create the path you want.
Another way of adding a path in the exclusions tab is via drag and drop.
I hope that helps.
