A couple of points here. Firstly, Evo *marks* junk mail but doesn't move
it. You see it in the virtual folder called Junk, but it's still in the
same folder it arrived in, just hidden. Note that you need to check for
new mail in any folders where mail may arrive (e.g. via an external
procmail script).

Also, training Bogofilter should initially be done with a collected set
of spam/ham messages outside of Evo.

Many people don't realize that Evo has a FAQ accesible directly from the
Help menu. In this case, see
