Not Spam and have to move it to inbox. Why?

[#1]

So I have just spent a happy hour working through the Spam folder I did not know was active, and for all of the many false positives I had not only to say they were not spam, but had to move them to my inbox so that they would download to may email software.
Why the need for 2 actions?
If I flag something in the Inbox as spam, it moves to Spam. Why are 2 actions needed in the other direction?
Also, by what stretch of the imagination does the spam filter pick up newsletters from the BBC, and miss offers of a bigger d!ck?

Clicking on Notspam sends them in to help train the filter -- an optional move. Moving them to Inbox allows them to be picked up by POP3.

See the thread "Postini Feedback" for lots of discussion of these issues
