Deb,

You are training through the web interface and displaying mail in
Incredimail.  You've selected the right package and it sounds like you
are training.  The next step is to get your email client to move
messages out of your inbox.

The Spambayes software sees your messages before the email client, then
classifies each message and tags it.  If you can see messages in the web
interface with classifications, this is already happening.  The
classifier result is attached to each message either as a visible
notation in the message subject or as a not so visible notation by
creating a special header.  Which you choose depends on the filtering
rule capabilities of your email client, and I couldn't tell from
Incredimail's online documentation which is appropriate.  I believe that
you can select between these two options in the web interface, though
the online documentation at SourceForge is not visible as I write this
so I can't give you specifics on that either :)  Once you select the
tagging method, you need to write a rule or two in Incredimail to move
spam into a spam folder and unsure messages into an unsure folder.
