You inboxes likely contain spam messages that haven't been caught, so training
on inbox will poison your bayes in favor of more spam. Unless your inbox is
perfect (entirely devoid of spam and containing only desired messages) you
should not do this.
The documentation says to use your inbox. :-)

Learning
--------
Apache SpamAssassin includes a Bayesian learning filter, so it is worthwhile
training Apache SpamAssassin with your collection of non-spam and spam,
if possible. This will make it more accurate for your incoming mail.
Do this using the "sa-learn" tools, like so:
sa-learn --spam ~/Mail/saved-spam-folder
sa-learn --ham ~/Mail/inbox
sa-learn --ham ~/Mail/other-nonspam-folder
