Or, another strategy would be to create a Junk and a Suspect, both
hidden from her and separate from her Inbox.

The Junk would be based on some good spamfiltering system.  Her Inbox
would be only whitelisteds.  The Suspect would be non-whitelisted
non-junk.  That way, you are in control of what isn't whitelisted, and
thus she should actually receive zero spam.  You would use the Suspect
to finetune instead of her receiving any spam at all, that way she
doesn't have to move any spam from her Inbox to a Junk folder as I
described below, and therefore she needs to develop no discipline.
