I check my spam box every couple of months and it's rare that I find even one mail has generated a false positive. This is out of 300+ messages a day about 250 of which are spam, which all go in the spam box before I see them until I next check my spam box. I used to check weekly and did find a few incorrectly marked spam messages but as I trained the spma filter more and Google improved the GMail spam filter less spam has been getting through and fewer legitimate messages have been marked as spam. I think the key thing is to spend a little time upfront training your spam filter to recognise the sort of spam you get and the sort of non-spam you get.
