Do you have POPfile doing other classification (work, home, etc), or just
these three?  I haven't ever used POPfile, but I would imagine I would be
somewhat more forgiving of mistakes made by software that was trying to do
more than just a yes-spam/no-ham(/buggered_if_I_know-unsure) decision.

BTW, does POPfile choose just one of the categories, or can you have it
select multiple ones?  It wouldn't be much use with something like Outlook,
but with mailers that work with a 'label' type system, where a message can
be in multiple views/folders (gmail/Thunderbird?) that would seem pretty
handy.
