Summary: Background Filtering disabled

Initial Comment:
I have checked other bugs and they do not seem to 
address this specifically.

After about three runs of Outlook 2002 on Win XP, 
Background Filtering is Disabled.  Since I filter my 
incoming to several folders, when I recover an item, all 
items are returned to my primary Inbox, and I have to 
manually sort, or re-run my rules.  Since I get TONS of 
spam, this is very time-consuming.

My Background filtering Options are set as follows:

Enable Background Filtering:  True
Processing Start Delay:  5.0 Seconds
Delay between processing items:  0.25 seconds
Only for folder that receive new mail:  true

The applicable section from my log file:
******************************************
The timer is configured to fire way too often(delay=5.0 
milliseconds, interval=0.25 milliseconds)
Please adjust your configuration.  The timer is NOT 
enabled...
******************************************


If I re-adjust my setting to the highest (10.0 seconds), 
restart Outlook, it works fine.  I re-set my settings to 
5.0 and 0.25, and restart Outlook, and it is fine.  When I 
come to work the next day, Background Filtering once 
again interprets my settings as milliseconds and is 
disabled and the above excerpt appears in my log file.

I have attached the entire log file for reference.

The error message is misleading.  SpamBayes knows the 
values are in seconds, but the log message just displays them 
incorrectly. (I've fixed this in latest CVS for the next release)

The reason this fails is because SpamBayes considers an 
interval of 0.25 seconds to be too small.  Actual limits are min 
0.4 seconds and max 30 seconds.  This is currently only 
checked at startup.  We need better validation of these 
values to prevent configuring invalid values.

I apologize - my submission was not completely accurate - 
Outlook always boots up with this error unless I set the 
sliders both at 10.0 seconds before restarting.  THEN I can 
adjust the sliders to the delays I want and everything works 
fine for that specific Outlook session.  The problem occurrs 
when Outlook is closed and restarted with my preferred 
settings - the intialization of the timer fails, and I have to set 
the sliders at 10 seconds, restart, then reset the sliders.
