I had this same problem using bogofilter.  My solution was to install the evolution-plugin-spamassassin and 
spamassassin
packages from my Linux distro  and then go to Evolution Preferences->Mail Preferences->Junk and enable Spam 
Assassin in
place of bogofilter on the following option: junk filtering software:.  I still get a few emails that the 
filter doesn't
catch but it does catch most of them after marking junk mail as junk.  

I hadn't had a piece of junk mail in years as my email provider was stopping all junk mail, so these are 
pretty
sophisticated junk mail senders.  I'm not surprised that bogofilter was having problems with them but enabling
spamassassin seems to work pretty well.  

If you run Windows I have no idea what extra packages you would have install as I haven't run windows now for 
15 years
or so.  I would imagine there are online resources that will tell you what you need to do in Windows.

I run the 3.36.4 version of Evolution.
