You've got 19 messages in the spam directory. This number is ok, according
to the output of ls. The number of messages in the ham directory, i.e. 3,
is probably ok as well. The other numbers are pretty suspicious. 92 failed
messages out of 19? 164 total messages?

It seems you removed old messages from the spam folder having had trained
them:

but did not told trainbogo.sh to clean it stats dir ("stats.tmp" in the
current working directory, probably your home dir, by default) and it
still remembers them and makes hopeless attempts to recheck them every
time you run it. Try running trainbogo.sh -c (if you really want to delete
messages that have already been used for training).

160 blocks occupied by files in the directory. It is probably ok.
