I have arranged so that spam-classified email is sorted into a
special directory "Spam" on my server. Then, from time to time, I
activate an imap account to look into this account. By focusing on
the subject titles, it is real easy to see what is spam or not. In
fact I just deleted some one thousand spams, which took about ten
minutes. This way, I do not get much spam in my daily life, but can
also ensure that no wrongly spam-classified spam is lost. Out of some
fifteen thousand spam-classified emails, I think less than five was
wrongly spam-classified.
