Summary: managing spam folder

Initial Comment:
hi, i have read a bunch from the sourceforge/spambayes 
pages and if this is a duplicate, then i appologize up front 
for not finding it. i think users, me included, need some help 
in managing the space consumed by spambayes spam 
folder. it would appear from what i have read, that keeping 
some spam is helpful for retraining purposes. but from my 
experience training is best when the ham/spam training sets 
are about balanced -- since i keep ham in lots of folders, it 
is very hard to get the right set of folders with a good cross 
section of candidates selected for the ham part to balance 
the spam folder contents (this could lead to another 
discussion of making training easier for the user...later 
perhaps). and it is possible for a ham to get lost in the spam 
folder (although i quite checking some time ago as it has 
never been a productive exercise). so there must be some 
balance between all spam since the beginning of time and 
an empty spam folder. to begin with i don't know if the 
messages should be deleted by age or by spam rating or 
some other criteria. one also has to consider what 
the "right" amount of spam for training should be (and I 
have no idea as an end user).  i do think they should go to 
the deleted folder and not to the bit bucket . i am thinking 
that some high water mark (number of messages to be left 
in the spam folder) along with one or more user selecteable 
criteria would make an automatic spam folder management 
scheme. if you are tempted to write a response which 
describes a process i could follow, wouldn't it be better to 
codify that response as a new management feature of 
spambayes for all to take advantage of? Thanks, Jon
