I do not believe it matters. I have 3 pop accounts; evolution gets all the mail from the accounts every few minutes. Rather than dump all mail into the "Inbox" (which evolution would do), I have evolution filter through spamassassin and in to many folders. Any spam that is missed, regardless of account or folder, I move into the "missed_spam" folder. Probably about once a week I run sa-learn against the "missed_spam" folder. Been doing this for about 3 months now and less than 1% of spam gets through. Of course before I started using spamassassin I had been saving spam and so I probably had 3500 spam messages and 2500 ham messages to initially use with sa-learn. In the first month of using spamassassin I also used to need a "ham-missed" folder to keep for training spamassassin and may have had as many as 10 emails that were initially flagged as spam. It appears that with a sufficiently large enough initial training pool of ham and spam plus some ongoing use of sa-learn that spamassassin will severely reduce the problem of spam.

Thanks. I am getting so much spam that I just decided to start studying. BTW does it matter if you have multiple pop3 accounts in evolution?

A quick suggestion based on how I use sa-learn with Evolution mbox. I found that I needed to absolutely specify the missed spam folder mbox.
sa-learn --spam --mbox /home/mylocation/MissedSpam/mbox
Without the mbox at the end of the directory location, sa-learn would not work.
