Thanks.
I am trying it out, but when I set it up initially I didn't add
enough buckets, nor change the ones already there.
Is there a way to do it at this point?

Well, I used K9 for a long time and it worked very well, but recently I
swiched to PopFile and I am *VERY* happy: PopFile is less of a CPU hog
than K9 was, and it trained amazingly quickly. And its web interface
[to 'correct' its scoring] is a joy.
It also supports multiple-buckets, rather than just "spam/not-spam".
Depending on how capable your email client is this is either a big win or a
ho-hum feature [it mostly helps out the OE folk, I gather].
I'm not sure how you're set up for having multiple people using the system.
PopFile [as does K9] runs as a POP Proxy, so it'll happily deal with as
many POP mailboxes as you'd like. [in fact, if several folk are sharing a
mailbox, you can probably train it to use its 'buckets' stuff to
automatically sort out email for each person]. The only problem with this
is that all the users will be sharing the same Bayesean filtering DB, and
so training might be a bit strange [if one person keeps marking a
particular message as 'good' and another as 'spam']. BUT: I'd bet you can
just run multiple copies of it and have each user have their own copy
[you'd just have each version listen on a different POP port and HTTP port -
- that stuff is all trivially configured through PopFile's web interface]
PopFile is freeware and I heartily recommend it.
