   I notice the same too today. Yesterday I retrained ifile using "-h"
   and I also downloaded several Mb of spam mail from: 

      http://www.em.ca/~bruceg/spam/

   and let Ifile run over half of it during the day. Then I made a
   script that goes through each of my folder and checks if there are a
   mail in this folder that Ifile thinks should be in another folder and
   use the ifile -d IFILES_FOLDER -u MY_FOLDER. After running the script
   several Ifile agreed with me, except in the Spam folder, but it will
   come over time. :-)
