Multiple (distinct) user accounts need to be able to share the junk mail
training data -- for example, my wife and young daughter both use mozilla mail
on the same linux box as me -- I'd like their accounts to automatically take
advantage of my consistent training for junk mail as it flows in. Perhaps using
Webdav is a possibility for sharing this file across an even wider set of users.

Rather difficult - different persons have different ideas what spam is. For me,
every Chinese mail is spam, but not for my collegue in Shanghai. When he tried
to use my mozilla-mailer (different account, but with my training data), he had
to search for his messages in my junk-folder.

What you really need isn't spam-filtering on the /client/, but on the /server/.
