I use bogofilter (via procmail) to do spam filtering. "Out of the
box," bogofilter works very well. Tuned, it's extremely effective. My FP
(regular mail labeled as spam) & FN (spam labeled as regular mail)
rates are less than 1%.
I have my mail delivered locally. It might be tricky to use
bogofilter in conjunction with IMAP (I don't know, never tried).
Here's my procmail line for bogofilter ("/." suffix indicates MH-style mailbox)

Like someone else mentioned, ctrl-d in mutt kills a whole thread.
Another mutt nicety: "/" (forward slash) displays only messages with
headers that match a search string (great for searching subject or
from headers).
