Summary: Problems after deleting certain spam folder

Initial Comment:
I have a customer running ol2000sr1 on winxp and I'd 
installed spambayes from cvs about three weeks ago.

On Monday, my customer deleted the target folder of 
the certain spam rule, fouling things up, and could not 
simply restore the folder to get things working again.  
nothing I tried would cause the filter rules target folder 
to remained changed.  Other changes would take, just 
not this one.

Today, nothing I tried would cause the filter rules target 
folder to remained changed.  Other changes would take, 
just not this one.

After a few simple attempts, I tried to force a clean 
install by scrubbing everything which included:
  --exit and logoff from outlook
  --uninstalling (unregistering) spambayes
  --uninstalling outlook
  --deleting outlook related info from disk & registry
  --deleting spambayes related files from disk & registry
  --deleting mail profiles
  --reinstalling outlook
  --download and install v.3 from exe installer

Even this did not work. 

I did get my customer going again by changing the 
certain spam filter to do nothing at 100% likelyhood of 
being spam, and redefining possible spam filter to move 
the spam to _junk at 85%.  Kludge, but it works.

So, one question...
How do you make outlook forget about spambayes 
entirely to do a clean install?

...and one bug?
Why couldn't I change the certain spam target folder?

Thanks,

Emile

It does look like this may be a bug (certainly many people 
have had this trouble).  I'll leave that for Mark ;)

Regarding the question - all you need to do is delete all the 
*.ini files in your spambayes data directory.  When you next 
start Outlook you will then be able to reconfigure the plugin.  
See faq 3.6 for details about where this folder is.
