Fwiw, most people who keep messages in folders have a ready source of
ham to feed to sa-learn. I got around this (well, I fed sa-learn the
required 200 hams) by issuing the command
sa-learn --ham --mbox mail/archive/*
This alone feed 300+ messages to sa-learn.
Also, I routinely issue the command
sa-learn --ham --mbox /var/spool/mail/cbarnes
after checking my inbox to make sure there are no false negatives, but
before actually reading/deleting my new email.
