Hi everyone.

All the answers here didn't help me, I don't know about Elwyn.

No matter WHAT kind of mailbox I have my spam messages placed in sa-learn 
refuses to learn.

My first experience was with the Kontact default of maildir boxes and sa-learn 
couldn't even find them.  Off to the SA site I go only to discover that SA 
hasn't supported maildir boxes for quite a long time.  Not a good start.

Next up was the thought that a competant mail client should have no problem 
converting mailboxes.  Again, nope.

So..set up a new directory structure for my spam to be sent to and make sure 
it's mbox..  Copy the messages into it then delete everything in the old one.

New structure is a directory called spam1 with subdirectories called called 
filteredspam, missedspan and notspam.

Now I try to teach spamassassin on what it missed (over 700 messages):

sa-learn --mbox --spam /home/john/.Mail/spam1.directory/missedspam/*
bayes expire_old_tokens: lock: 24884 cannot create tmp 
lockfile /home/john/.spamassassin/bayes.lock.d207-6-227-249.bchsia.telus.net.24884 
for /home/john/.spamassassin/bayes.lock: Permission denied

Learned from 0 message(s) (0 message(s) examined).

Okay..this isn't good either.  There seems to be a lock file there somewhere.

For fun I try as root.

sa-learn --mbox --spam /home/john/.Mail/spam1.directory/missedspam/*
Learned from 0 message(s) (0 message(s) examined).

I'll chase down the lock file and try again.  But there is one thing that does 
bother me a lot.  And that's that Konq shows two of the files related to as 
plain text (filteredspam and nonspam).  So I'm not sure they'll work.

Help please.  In simple words would be nice. :-)
