More gathering of numbers. At home, ThunderBird downloads three days worth mail and finds 29 non-spam, and 413 spam mails, 442 in total. A quick scroll through the spam mails reveals no false positives. Just looking at subject and sender, I was able to find 17 more spam mails in my 29 non-spam mail. One more email required a look at the body to determine it was spam. In total, I therefore got 413+17+1=431 spam emails. Thunderbird only identified 413/431=95.8% of my spam as spam. It would be nice to see this climb up to 98%!

I still get an amazing 431/442=97.5% spam.
