Well, I've been moving messages to 'Possible_Spam' for the last 6 hours,
and running:
sa-learn --spam --mbox ./Possible_Spam

against that mailbox...

On average, I still get 60 messages every hour which I recognize as
spam, yet sa-learn doesn't seem to get it yet...

Is there a point in time where SA begins to actually take a shot at
handling this?

I'd like to teach it --ham as well, but the last time I ran this against
my Inbox, it said that it read 3,200 messages (which is everything in
mbox, including the spam, and those directories aren't listed _under_
inbox).





Since installing SA yesterday, I've received 40 more spams; every one
except the one that I mentioned in my other post yesterday has been
automatically flagged as spam and automatically moved to the Junk
folder. I've received no false positives yet.

Note:
- Running Feisty
- Evolution 2.10.0
Edgy
Evolution 2.8.1

Well, maybe I'm doing something (or note doing something) that you
aren't/are... but I just looked in junk, and there are almost 1600
messages in there... WOW! (only 3 marked as spam)... Could I just empty
the junk folder and see if all of this activity is SA and not leftover
from me putting them there?
(If that's really SA's doing - even though it's not marking them all
explicitly yet, I'm really impressed with the performance...)

If they are there, they are most likely spam. Just click on one and see
if the "Not-Junk" lights up. I'd delete them all, empty your trash,
close Evo & start fresh. Can't hurt & you'll certainly soon find out if
it is working.

BTW: do you have the catch-all turned on for your email address? If so,
turn it off & I'm sure that you'll stop receiving so many.
