If I don't have users drag ham/spam corrections to a shared IMAP
folder for re-learning, will bayes just be less effective, or
will it become completely worthless?  A very large percentage of
my user base will be unable to comprehend and perform the task
of moving false positives and false negatives to an IMAP folder;
as simple as it sounds.
