Put learn_ham/ & learn_spam/ outside of the path notmuch looks for mail

now notmuch *should* notice renames for your spam/inbox folders
(but please keep sending mails if this is not the case)



Instead of copying you could try hard/symlinking, but then dspam may
modify the files (if that matters).
