The most typical reason for this error is that something has happened to
your unsure/spam folder (perhaps it was deleted or moved to a different
store).  Most likely, all you need to do is tell SpamBayes where to find
those again, and all will be well.  To do this:

 1. Open the SpamBayes Manager dialog.
 2. Click the Filtering tab.  You'll probably have to do this twice (it's a
minor bug).
 3. If either the unsure or spam folder has "<unknown folder>" as its entry,
click "Browse" next to that and locate the correct folder.
 4. Go back to the General tab and tick the "Enable SpamBayes" box.

Otherwise, you can try re-running the initial configuration wizard, as
suggested.  To get to this:

 1. Open the SpamBayes Manager dialog.
 2. Click the "Configuration Wizard" button.
