I use a single folder for fresh spam.  When a user marks a message in
this folder as seen, but still leaves it in the spam folder, or moves
a message to this folder, it is considered "verified spam" and thus
a candidate for learning.  A second procmail script that is invoked
periodically (quite often) feeds those "verified spam" messages to
sa-learn (unless they have been autolearned as spam or have already been
marked as BAYES_999), then moves them to a "spam-lo" folder (keeping the
"read" mark intact) for reference and eventual deletion.

I put very high scoring spam that is already known to the Bayesian filter
(either autolearn=spam or BAYES_999) directly into the "spam-lo" folder.
It's marked as "unread", so people can easily check if they miss anything
or just want to make sure.
