    I do not believe it matters. I have 3 pop accounts; evolution gets all
    the mail from the accounts every few minutes. Rather than dump all mail
    into the "Inbox" (which evolution would do), I have evolution filter
    through spamassassin and in to many folders. Any spam that is missed,
    regardless of account or folder, I move into the "missed_spam" folder.
    Probably about once a week I run sa-learn against the "missed_spam"
    folder. Been doing this for about 3 months now and less than 1% of spam
    gets through.

    Of course before I started using spamassassin I had been saving spam and
    so I probably had 3500 spam messages and 2500 ham messages to initially
    use with sa-learn. In the first month of using spamassassin I also used
    to need a "ham-missed" folder to keep for training spamassassin and may
    have had as many as 10 emails that were initially flagged as spam. It
    appears that with a sufficiently large enough initial training pool of
    ham and spam plus some ongoing use of sa-learn that spamassassin will
    severely reduce the problem of spam.
