Yes, I suspect that is correct - the error is some sort of problem with an
IMAP APPEND comment, which fits.

You haven't missed this; it's not there.  What SpamBayes does is try to move
the message back to the folder it originally came from, and if that fails,
move mail to the main (in Outlook's opinion) Inbox.  In your case, are these
both this folder that you can't write to?  It wouldn't be that difficult to
allow the default 'recover' folder to be user-selectable, but this is a
pretty rare problem, so it's hard to tell whether it would be worth
complicating the user interface to add it.

Yes, the training is done first, then the movement, so this should still
work (although you'll always get the error, which must be annoying).
There's also no guarantee that this will always be the same as new versions
come out, although it's more than likely that it will be.
