That would not increase accuracy for you in particular unless:
a) You had a commensurate amount of ham to train with
and
b) You vetted every single message from the spam repository to make sure
that it was actually spam
You'd be better off simply using your spam corpus with a couple hundred
representative ham messages to train your filter as opposed to trying to
use a bunch of messages from a spam archive.
If you still want to train on possibly non-spammy spam, check out
http://www.spamarchive.org/.
