I use a two stage process - I have Popfile classify mail, and then have a Bat! input-filter set a corresponding colour-group from the X-Text-Classification header. I then have my virtual folders set up based on the colour-groups. When a message is mis-classified, I can then double click on the X-Popfile-Link header (which I display in the header panel) to tell Popfile, and also right-click in the message-list-pane to change the colour-group, this is then picked up by the virtual folders.
