It only displays 'spam' that is addressed specifically and only to my 'favourite older e-mail address' (ie, not cc'd to a dozen other people with similar addresses, etc). That cuts down the 112 messages currently in my Spam folder to a much more manageable 9, making the list far easier to check through. I simply ignore the rest, confident to leave the job to SpamSieve. Would this work for you? Also, I maintain a 'dummy' address with the same ISP as the 'spam-magnet' address I want to keep. Any messages sent to both addresses (apart from mailouts by the ISP, natch) can automatically be discounted as spam without any further checking.
