That's not sufficient for Bayes to start scoring messages. The minimum is
200 each of ham and spam.
It's generally considered a good idea to train misses and to try to keep
the ratio to something approaching your spam:ham ratio in email by
training regular email that doesn't score really high or low. I keep mine
at about 3:1 spam:ham tokens by training misses and anything in the 10-80%
range.
