Yes. I do not trust anyone else to filter my email because they can not do it
without also losing some of my good email.

It should work but will never be without problems of missing some spam and
claiming that some good mail is spam.

My email client is Polarbar. It has bayesian filtering which catches about 90%
of my spam with very little good mail getting filtered as spam. I never have
it set up to automatically delete spam but move it to a spam folder where I can
check to make sure nothing has been marked as spam incorrectly.
