I use the bogofilter plugin, which *does* work from within Evolution (I
can mark false negatives as spam and false positives as ham and that
works).

I think it filters > 98% correct now (with no false positives), which is
okay for me.

One thing to remember is that you have to mark at least 1 mail as spam
and at least 1 as ham.  The latter can be done by marking a ham mail as
spam and then marking it as ham.  This can be improved of course, e.g.
it could be explained in the Ubuntu documentation?
