Just to make things clearer (I'm not saying anything new):

Alpine doesn't do SPAM classification or other blacklisting.
So Alpine cannot have a setting to change SPAM classification or other
blacklisting.

Going a little further:

If your upstream mail server sidelines some messages into a junk folders
then Alpine could pick up those other folders.

But I cannot imagine a way for Alpine to signal to the mail serverthat
certain junked messages should be taken examples of non-SPAM.

If you want to train your mail server (eg. gmail), you need to use its
facilities to do so. I understand that you cannot do that.
