I haven't done it, but looking at the long-term benefits,

a) it's a quick and easy way to get Bayes running, with confirmed
ham/spam information. Granted it's YOUR spam and ham, and may not reflect
properly the full range of emails for the company, but it's a good start.

b) Assuming you feed Bayes regularly from system-wide emails, your
personal tokens will slowly be replaced by system-wide tokens, since
Bayes ages its database.

I'd say do it.
