How are you moving it?  With the delete as spam button, or dragging it?
If you're dragging it then SpamBayes doesn't mark it as read.  (Whether
it *should* or not is another issue which Mark would be the one to
answer).  If you are using the button then it should be marked as read -
if it isn't, then you probably need to go through the filing a bug
report business & attaching your log.  (However, see below).

Your log file would probably provide the necessary clues here.  I
suspect that something in the config file is now invalid and so it isn't
being loaded.  If it continually happens it might be that the file is
being updated, but not corrected.  Then again, I note that there have
been a few bug reports lately about config files not saving - I haven't
been paying enough attention to these to say what the answer is, is
there is one (take a look at the reported bugs on sourceforge).  You
could also try deleting the config file and letting Outlook create it
from scratch.

No, it makes no difference at all.  "enabled = True" would also work.
