I have several e-mail addresses, and most junk comes to addresses that 
are not my two main addresses, and the odds of an important false 
positive there is low, so I made a Smart Mailbox that only shows junk 
from the two main addresses from the past week. This is very easy to 
check: there are only a few e-mails in there on any given day.

I don't delete the e-mail in my spam folder, at least not that often, 
because I'm not sure that it wouldn't screw up SpamSieve. But if an 
account is mostly spam and few false positives, you can make a rule to 
automatically move it to the trash folder.

In the grand scheme of things I feel that if a non-spam e-mail goes to 
spam and I don't see it, the world will go on turning. But then I'm the 
kind who can let a phone ring off without answering it if I'm busy.
