Summary: Saving options -> Msg for Review disappear

Initial Comment:
When I go to the options-page and save options (I must
not change any options to reproduce the problem), all
messages in the review page disappear. 

All additional columns also disappear, I only see the
columns Subject, From, Discard, Defer, Ham and Spam.
After restart I see all the other colums (To, CC,
Received and Score) again.

I see the messages again after exit and restart of
SpamBayes.

I use:

SpamBayes 1.0.1 on Windows 2000
Firefox 1.0
Eudora 6.2.0.14

Thanks for the confirmation.  That means that this is solved
by the fix for the column disappearing problem, so I'll
close this.

Your guess was right. I set the locations for the cache
directories to another location. 

I did the same test with the default directories and the
messages don't disappear. 

Thank you for your fast solution.

If you're using the binary, then the log files are saved in
the windows temp directory (I don't recall where this is
with Win2k - maybe C:\Windows\Temp?  Maybe C:\Documents and
Settings\{username}\Local Settings\Temp like XP?).  They are
called SpamBayesServerX.log where X is 1 to 5.  If you're
running from source then all log data is output to the
console window.

I'll try and duplicate this behaviour when I get a chance
(later today, hopefully).  My best guess right now:

You've set the locations for the cache directories to be
somewhere other than the defaults.  The bug that causes the
columns to disappear causes some of the defaults to be
reloaded until the next restart.  This might mean that the
default cache directory locations are used, which would
explain the behaviour.  You could test this by checking the
default locations (C:\Documents and
Settings\{username}\Application
Data\SpamBayes\Proxy\pop3proxy_ham_cache on XP, I think
Win2K is similar).  They should have the test2 message, but
not the test1 message, which should be in your
configuration-file-specified location.

Anyway, I can check this later, but I suspect that might be
the case.  The workaround would be to restart after any
config changes (until 1.0.2 is out later this month).

I did some more tests and maybe I found something new that
can help you...

I did the following steps:

1. trained on all messages, so the review list is empty.
2. received one Mail with subject "test1"
3. saved the configuration on the configuration page
4. received another mail with subject "test2"

The result is:

I can see the message with subject "test2" in the review list.
I connot see the message with subject "test1" in the review
list.
The additional columns are not visible.

Then I restart Spambayes:

I can see the message with subject "test1" in the review list.
I connot see the message with subject "test2" in the review
list.
The additional columns are visible.

Then I hit "save" on the configuration page again:

I can see the message with subject "test2" in the review list.
I connot see the message with subject "test1" in the review
list.
The additional columns are not visible.

Yes, after I restart SpamBayes, the messagees appear in the
review list.

What log do you mean? I found no logfile in the SpamBayes
path and no logfile in the "Documents and Settings" path.

The problem with additional columns disappearing is a known
bug and is fixed in CVS (so will be fixed in 1.0.2 and 1.1).

I don't believe the messages disappearing problem is the
same, however - at least I never experienced this when
tracking down the other bug.

Do the messages appear in the review list after you restart
SpamBayes?  Do you get any error messages in the log?
