Yup.  I have that.
5 private messages it missed this morning, one of them was from an old
friend I haven't heard for 15 years(!), and the rest are from list
members of some user groups asking me questions privately.  They all are
not in my address book, of course.

I thought so, but you do Cmd+A -> delete anyway so I thought Cmd+Y
instead of delete is just the same, no?

That's what I have been doing 5-6 times a day :-(

I don't mind spam being missed.  No big deal.  I really do mind legit
message being missed and I fear if I accidentally delete them. 
SpamAsassin never missed legit message.  This is where I am at.

Do you think SpamSieve can be trained so legit mail won't be sent to Spam
folder at 100% rate as SpamAsassin did to me?
