Summary: Blackberry faster than SpamBayes

Initial Comment:
I've been running SpamBayes for over a year on Outlook 
(now XP SP3).  I've also had a BlackBerry for three years 
(have had a 7780 since the summer).  Over time, I've 
noticed ever more Spam hitting my BlackBerry, even 
though when I get home and check my Outlook Inbox it 
is not there, but (correctly) in the Spam folder.

And recently I've noticed that when I select an email in 
the "maybe SPAM" folder and click the "Delete as Spam" 
button, it takes several seconds to move it to the SPAM 
folder.

So I'm guessing SpamBayes has a linear (or worse than 
linear) time algorithm for updating the spam database.

SpamBayes Outlook Addin Binary Version 1.0 (July 2004) 
reports that this training database status: Database has 
30326 good and 16916 spam.

I assume one solution is for me to delete the databases 
and retrain.

Have you also considered some kind of automatic 
pruning to keep the databases manageable?

Here are the SB DB file sizes:
     1,316 default_bayes_customize.ini
42,049,536 default_bayes_database.db
 2,506,752 default_message_database.db
     3,521 MS Exchange Settings.ini

Of course the other possibility is to modify your DB 
algorithms so their running time is O(LogN) or faster...

Thank you!
