Are you certain that your trained spam count is going up?  Under normal
circumstances, the Outlook addin does not train on *any* received
messages unless you tell it to with the Delete or Recover buttons.
Since the counts in the SpamBayes Manager show the number of messages
that you have trained on, neither should increment just by receiving a
message.

You might want to keep careful tabs on these numbers for a couple of
days to verify that your spam count is in fact increasing with every
received spam message.  If so, there could be several possible
explainations.  The most likely one that I can think of would be if you
have an Outlook rule that moves messages into the folder that you have
designated for Certain Spam.  SpamBayes will train on any untrained
messages that are moved into the spam folder.
