Best if you let it check incoming mail *as it is coming into the inbox*.

First make sure the spamassassin daemon is running.  Called spamc.
Next create a filter in Evo.  Mine is 

Pipe Message to Shell Command | /usr/bin/spamc -c | returns | 1
Then
Move to Folder | "Spam" in Local folders

That's it.

Read two manpages spamassassin and Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf.

Edit and use ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs.
