Summary: Training Bayes, Cannot Expand top-level folders

Initial Comment:
I think I've followed the instructions here, but I'm
having trouble installing SpamBayes with Outlook 2003
on Windows XP MCE PC.

I have an IMAP setup, so I installed from source. 
Please let me know if this was the wrong thing to do. 
I had initially run the installer, and I thought it was
successful until my screen froze on the SpamBayes
training screen.  This was when I found out you needed
to install from source if you are using IMAP.

So then I uninstalled SpamBayes, and tried to do it
over, this time installing from source.

I downloaded Python 2.4.3.,
pywin32-208.win32-py2.4.exe, and (mistakenly)
spambayes-1.1a2.zip.  I ran the installs for the first
two, unzipped the third and ran the addin.pl in the
Outlook 2000 folder.  Installation was unsuccessful
because I should have downloaded spambayes-1.0.4.zip. 
Nothing happened when I ran Outlook to indicate that
SpamBayes was installed, except the Toolbar Icons were
still there from the initial time I'd used the installer.

OK, next I deleted the unzipped spambayes-1.1a2 folder,
and downloaded the correct 1.0.4 zip file.  I unzipped
it, and ran addin.pl.  This is basically my current
situation.  I believe I degistered the addin.pl file
and deleted the spambayes-1.0.4 folder once because of
the problem that at long last I will describe.  In any
case, this is the problem that persists, and I am
basically unable to configure SpamBayes:

Now, when I open Outlook, I get the configuration
screen which prompts me to "train" SpamBayes as to what
it should consider spam.  I click "browse" to designate
the portions of my mail folder that contain spam and
those which do not.  Unfortunately, on the popup box
that tells me to select folders, I can only see my
top-level folders.  All of the sub level folders are
inaccessible despite the fact that there is a "plus"
box next to each top-level folder.  Nothing I do allows
me to see what's inside the top level and choose
appropriately.

Sorry to be so long-winded, but please somebody help me...
