I use severeal spam folders as an approximation of sorting all email by the number of hits. This lets me run with both a very low threshold, and makes it easy to identify FP's. > From our experience, most users delete the tagged > mail anyway. I do it this way deliberately to avoid temptation to do this. I think users would be more likely to skim over the tagged email, if it were easy to find FP's. No one wants to skim a hundred messages of junk for the one perhaps interesting message embedded in the middle. But if all of the likely FP's are on the first page, they may. > We do have a stipulation, that the quarantine folder > will auto delete after 5 days or 1 MB of storage.

When you run low on space, you don't delete the oldest email, but the highest scoring.
