Summary: Cannot set the Certain Spam folder
Initial Comment:
I installed SpamBayes-Outlook-Setup-003.exe on Win2k running Outlook2k, and everything worked
fine for about a week. Then my spam folder went away--I don't know whether I accidentally
deleted the folder rather than its contents, or if the spam filter killed it--and now I cannot set the
folder. If I go to the "Filter Rules" dialog, it will let me browse for a folder, and it will place it in the
edit box, but when I click OK and go back to the "SpamBayes" dialog, I get "Watching 'Inbox'. Spam
managed in '<unknown folder>', unsure managed in" (at which point the content is clipped).
I originally had the spam go to "Spam, spam, eggs and spam" and the usure go to "Bloody Vikings";
I've tried creating different folders for spam, with the same name as the original and with different
names (including the reccommended "Spam"), but with no luck. I've uninstalled and reinstalled
SpamBayes several times, shut down and restarted Outlook several times, searched the registry
and the SpamBayes folder for "Bloody Vikings" to see if I could manually edit the configuration, but
found nothing, and I've run out of ideas.

There was no "Outlook.ini", but there was a "Scot
Alexander.ini" that had "spam_folder_id" fields. Just to be
on the safe side, I deleted the whole SpamBayes folder and
re-trained. That appears to have solved the problem. Thanks.

As a workaround:
With outlook and spambayes closed (check the processes in
the task manager to be sure). Edit the C:\Documents and
Settings\<userid>\Application Data\SpamBayes\Outlook.ini file
removed the lines that start with "spam_folder_id" or just
delete the file. Restart outlook and reconfig Spambayes.
