+ Why can't I set spam to be moved to the Deleted Items folder?
+ -------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ The problem with this is that you can also set SpamBayes to train all
+ messages moved to the designated spam folder. If you set the deleted
+ items folder as the spam folder (early versions of the plug-in allowed
+ this), then *all* messages that you delete would be trained as spam.
+
+ To get this restriction removed, you'll have to convince the developers
+ that there is a way to do this without confusing people - for example,
+ if we let you choose the deleted items folder as the spam folder, only
+ if the 'incremental training' option was off, people would get confused
+ about why it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.
+
+ Note that Outlook 2003 has a "Junk Mail" folder that has many of the
+ deleted items folder's properties, and you *can* get SpamBayes to move
+ spam to this folder. You may also find some good advice in the answer
+ to `the question about getting SpamBayes to delete spam`_.
