That's basically what I do.

This is actually better than sorting a single folder by spamicity I
think because if it's all in one folder, where do you stop scanning? If
something pops into my unsure folder (around 3-5 per day), I normally
check it right away even though 99% of the time it's spam. And I
usually look at each email body or at least many of them that aren't
obviously spam from the subject line. I usually check the low prob
folder once a day scanning both sender and subject, the mid prob once
every 2-3 days quickly scanning senders, and the high prob maybe once a
week basically just glancing at senders as I quickly scroll down the
list. I think this is the most efficient way for me to sort and
double-check my spam with the highest accuracy and timeliest recognition
of errors.
I'd like to look into setting up a milter to simply reject the >0.8 &
<=1.0 range though. If there's a ham in that range (one in a billion
probability it would seem), it would be more efficient for the sender to
reword and resend than for me to scan this range weekly.
