I'm confused. First, my old computer running Evolution 2.2.2 and FC3
seems to just handle junk on its own without either Spamassassin or
Bogofilter installed or any other junk plugin. When I mark something as
junk on that system, I see a message at the bottom that says "Learning
junk." I don't get that with my current setup, Evolution 2.10.1 and
Ubuntu Feisty. 
   Second, I've installed Spamassassin, but it doesn't seem to be doing
anything. Under Plugin manager I have spamassassin checked and
bogofilter unchecked.

I didn't do any "training" of anything called Spam and Ham in my old
system. How do I do that? 

thanks.
