Summary: certain-spam should be moved to deleted items folder

Initial Comment:
I'd like to be able to pick root folders, like 'Deleted
Items' or 'Junk E-mail' as the target to both certain
and potential spam.  This would allow me to save a lot
of time.  There would be a higher risk of lost emails,
but I find myself pretty much just rubber-stamping the
classification as Spambayes has left it.  I sort the
spam folders by score which helps to quickly determing
false-positives, but I can still do that in these other
folders.

I'd find it much more useful to turn off the automatic
tracking of move-to-spam to be able to 'real' delete.  I was
not able to set to Junk E-mail folder, created by outlook
2003 I think, but that was just an examle; not really much
more useful than Spambayes's SPAM folder, except if it might
help integration with other spam filtering tools.

The real issue for me is to be able to point to the Deleted
Items folder so that I don't have to constantly empty SPAM.

Thanks for the info!

You should be able to use "Junk E-mail" with no problems. 
Many of us already do.  "Deleted Items", on the other hand,
is specifically restricted.

The reason for this really has nothing to do with "deleting"
the spam without reviewing it.  The problem is with the
incremental training options, which are enabled by default.
 One of the functions of incremental training is to train a
message as spam if you move it into your spam folder.  The
way SpamBayes does this is by detecting when a message that
was classified as something other than spam is added to the
spam folder.

Whenever you use the normal Outlook "Delete" command to
remove a message from your Inbox, what actually happens is
that it is removed from the Inbox but also added to the
"Deleted Items" folder.  If you were to set the "Deleted
Items" folder as your spam folder, SpamBayes would then
detect this action as you moving a mis-classified message
into the spam folder.  As a result, SpamBayes would train
every good message that you delete as spam.
