Summary: Feature request: Training on root folders

Initial Comment:
SpamBayes should support training on root folders. This 
is especially useful when you have PSTs consisting only 
of ham (or spam for that sake) with lots of folders on 
the root level. (Friends.pst, Colleagues.pst, Spam.pst)

Hehe... ok... The problem is that with my setup, SpamBayes 
gets pretty biased training, because a lot of my "good" mail is 
moved to different folders in Outlook before SpamBayes gets 
to them. What I'm trying to achieve is to tell SpamBayes that 
those mails are "good", keeping Spambayes from guessing.

..and that raises another question... I have not looked at the 
source, but would it be easy to invoke SpamBayes from 
another Outlook plugin? eg: sbObj.FilterMailItem(myMailItem)?

Ack.  Sorry, there's a missing "against" in my second
comment.  It should read:

 2.  We recommend AGAINST training in bulk, so this should
almost
never be necessary.

1: Yes.. For instance i have a .PST-file with friends and 
acquaintances containing about 400 sub folders at root level. 
Of course one could go crazy with the keypad arrows and 
space, but I'd rather just check the root folder.

2: Training in bulk for me means training on five to ten 
different PST files

Two things:

 1.  Is it really that hard to just tick the boxes?

 2.  We recommend training in bulk, so this should almost
never be necessary.
