Yup. When you disable junk filtering of incoming messages in the
preferences the junk marking (sa-learn) still works.

Just select the message(s) you want to learn as junk and use Edit/Mark
as Junk or toolbar icon or popup menu. If running from the terminal then
you may see the debug output, which says it runs sa-learn. The
message(s) will end up in the Junk folder.
