I wrote this little script to update the bayes rules. I can do this on my imap

Any comments on my script?
Bear in mind that spams which don't score high enough to be quarantined or
discarded will end up in your inbox, as will false negatives. Training all of
the mail in all of your inboxes as ham will train these messages as ham and
make any small error in classification much worse over time.
I will manually move spam to an Junk (not a .INBOX*
Good.
During the initial training period you want to manually review messages and
build a ham corpus and a spam corpus. Once bayes is running you generally only
want to train on misclassified messages. This decisionmaking process cannot be
automated, or the errors wouldn't occur in the first place.
You should set up per-user train-as-ham and train-as-spam mailboxes, and only
train from those, only for the users whose judgement you trust. Then, those
users should copy misclassified messages to the appropriate folder and may also
add samples of ham to the train-as-ham folder whenever desired.
The only user is me. :-)
:) Should be easy then.
Is there a way to convert my Thurderbird bayes to spamassassin?
Not that I know of.
