Sorry.  Then just delete the databases manually.  The configuration page
shows the path to the data directory.

That's still much higher than we recommend.  However, if it's working, then
there's no point changing it.

Using the option to not cache bulk mail (configuration page) would help with
this; you wouldn't then see any of these (assuming that the mailing list
uses the "Precedence" header) in the review pages.

Ideally (see <http://entrian.com/sbwiki/TrainingIdeas>) you should set both
ham and spam to discard, and just train any false positives (ham identified
as spam), false negatives (spam identified as ham) and unsures.

Yes.  For example, the default thresholds for the proxy are 0.2 and 0.9 -
you will probably find after training for a while that you can change these
to something like 0.1 and 0.8.
