The documentation is unclear on this point, but you CAN train it on incoming e-mails. You go to a page marked history on the configuration page, where you see a list of all the e-mails you've received recently, along with a pull-down of which "bucket" they were classified into. If you change the bucket in the pull-down, you can train the software to recognize the correct bucket.
