[Spambayes] Deleted or not deleted, trained or not trained?

[Kaminator]

Spambayes devotees,

Before installing spambayes, I had set up holding
folder (Folder A) for tens of thousands of spam items.
 I then carefully screened a fraction of them to be
sure, and moved them to a folder (folder B) to really
get trained.  I trained on folder B but the items all
stayed there (i suppose that is normal), so I deleted
the items, and then had to empty the deleted folder. 
Did that a few times on batches of 500 or so and it
took too many steps, each with an hourglass wait.  

So then I just went into Folder B and Shift
highlighted a block of them at a time, and hit "Delete
as Spam” (seems like 250 was the right number, more
than that and it was messed up).  The items were
removed from Folder B (yipeee-satisfaction) but they
did not get added to the Junk Email count, and were
not added to the Deleted folder count. (I know the
count is just the unread items , but these POSs where
99.999% unread.)  Then I checked and they seemed to
not be added in the folder in reality (on theory that
the count and reality might be different). 

I had already thoroughly read FAQs and Troubleshooting
the plugin and noted that (a) a similar problem was
described but it was fixed by going cache mode which I
was already in, and (b) it was said that Outlook would
not let Spambayes ever really delete items.  The count
numbers did not change even after I closed Outlook and
reopened. 

So are these "deleted as Spam" deletions really
training, and are they really deleted?  Where are they
going?

Thanks, Ben
