Well I guess I can accuse you of being hypnotized by the SpamBayes people who also think the unsure folder is a good thing. Well in my opinion it is not. What is good about having an extra folder to check for spam and ham?
"Hypnotized", I think, is unwarranted. They think it's good engineering. So do I. You don't.
There's only one of it, there's never much in it, and it means you *don't* have to check the other boxes in the same way. You can sort that one box in about ten seconds once a day. Because you *know* the e-mail is uncertain, you're not too pre-disposed to call it spam, which means you're more likely to *accurately* judge it. (It's well-known that humans often won't spot one "good" e-mail in a pile of spam).
If you want an antispam program to Just Work, then you're going to be disappointed -- it's Not Possible. If you're happy with one that works nearly all the time, but occasionally needs help, you might just get that.
