And this is often the problem, because - as I mentioned - users tend to
think that spam folder is something they don't need to look at, because "by
definition" everything in it is spam.

Thus, if a (non-spam) sender once lands in spam folder and is never "pulled
out" from there, a false signal is given to classify further messages from
that sender as spam, and thus a sender falls into a positive feedback loop,
continually increasing their rating as spam, which is almost impossible to
get out of.
