I have abandoned such schemes because I find this is too much
"over-engineering". I now have
- normal folders: all mail that is not considered as spam goes here
(with classification based on various criterias, but this has nothing to
do with spamicity)
- Junk folder: mail that is probably spam goes here. this folder is
reviewed from time to time
- Junk/Trash folder: confirmed spam
- Junk/Error folder: FPs
The latter 2 are used for retraining.
I am not convinced that the "spamicity" is a rigourous measure. I
believe that the distance from 0.5 is important, but only when not far
from it. to be clear: there are only 3 cases: probably spam, probably
ham and unsure. saying that a message with 0.99 is more spammy than one
with 0.78 doesn't have sense to me.
