I can think of a few others:

- Ignore the new-mail icon.  That's what I do.  In fact, I started
  ignoring it long before SpamBayes existed -- its behavior never
  made useful sense to me.

- Devote a good part of your short-term future to figuring out how
  to write code to make this goofy icon do what you want.

- Pay someone else to devote part of their life to doing that.

I bet I get more spam than you get <wink>.
