spam filter working but not...

[Poohba <po...@blkpoohba.dyndns.org>]

There are more messages in my spam folder(file) than what shows in
evolution.  Same goes for almost...  Procmail shows its sending emails
there but I don't see them.  If I open the file using a text editor I
see the emails but not in evolution.  Is something wrong with the rule?

The whole point of shunting mail to the almost-certainly-spam file is that 
they won't end up in your mailbox.

Have you told Evolution that there is a spam folder and where that
folder is? What mail box format is Evolution expecting. Procmail tries
to guess. But sometimes hints help it guess.
