In my case, the false-positives are really rarely. Mostly when user meets new eshop (or so) with broken email system (and need to be WL -- but that seems to be improved in last year). The biggest problem, which i meet with false positives was with one new user, which (as only one) communicate in Deutsch, because before he come all Deutsch mails was SPAM, thus we have to (re)learn bayes filter first. He do not need to contact me, all what was needed was to move email from Junk to another folder and after certain count of emails it was solved.
I'd love to use Ham/Spam filters, but in a very diverse environment (university campus) with users of all languages that's a difficult task to get right.
I've seen "fights" between users where one group kept moving emails to their spam folders while others restored them after the algorithm learned they are "bad".
And the complaints I get from Microsoft's mail services make it quite clear that you can't trust users to correctly categorize spam. :)
In other words, my users watch Junk folder mostly in cases when they expect some email, which do not arrived. Now i check stats -- 0,7 % of all delivered messages was to Junk folder. I do no gather stats how many of them was false positive, but it is really, really small number.
If it's only 0,7%, you should be able to press delete a few times more each day if those land in your inbox. Still better than to miss something important because it hid in a spam folder.
Also what about the other 80+% Spam you receive every day? Do you reject those?
