kmail's spamassassin filters use the 'sa-learn --no-sync' option by default.  
This stores the "learned info" in a separate data file.  The option is on by 
default to speed up the spam filtering.  You can either change it in the 
filter (not recommended) or periodically run 'sa-learn --sync' (as a regular 
user) from the command line.  I do this once a day or whenever I mark a lot 
of spam.

While this scheme works very well, it should (1) be pointed out in kmail's 
anti-spam wizard so users know how to use it effectively, and (2) there 
should be a command in kmail that runs the sync (menu, toolbar?) for users 
not comfortable with the command line -- something like, "Sync Spam 
Identification Data".
