Summary: Plugin loses categories field  when moved

Initial Comment:
I have a system when I process email through my Rules 
Wizard. I take much of my email and move a copy to 
many different archive controlled folders. Each email is 
processed and a copy made in the appropriate folder 
and the category is set to "Copy". I have the 
field "categories" in my Inbox header line and so any 
email that is marked "Copy" in my Inbox, I can read and 
delete quickly as I know that a copy exists elsewhere. I 
installed the most recent Outlook plugin today and my 
categories went blank. I checked to see if a copy was 
being moved to the appropriate folders and they do 
seem to be getting there so the Rules Wizard seems to 
be working correctly. In addition, the "categories" field in 
the target folder is set correctly. This implies to me that 
category information is being lost in the SpamBayes 
hold and move process. It is quite possible that other 
information that might be useful is being lost as well. I 
am using Outlook 2000 Server SP-4 (v5.x), Microsoft 
Outlook 2000 SP-3 (v9.x). I checked for similar problems 
and was unable to find any. 

Thanks, Eric

A couple of details which are probably not important but I will 
mention them. I have multiple PSTs on multiple drives and 
moves and copies go to several of them. Don't think this 
should matter. The setup for SpamBayes looks like this with 
junk going to Spam and junk supects going to Spam 
Suspects. They are also sub folders to Inbox.

|--Base PST
|   |
|   |--- A to B Folders
|   |--- CareerBuilders 
|   |--- D to H Folders
|   |--- Inbox
|   |    |--- Fuse Dddddddd
|   |    |--- Fuse EeeeWwwww
|   |    |--- Gmail Dddddddd
|   |    |--- Gmail WwwwwHouse
|   |    |--- Spam
|   |    |--- Spam Suspects
|   |
|   |--- J to Z Folders
|
|-- More PSTs
|   |
|   |--- A to Z Folders
|

Outlook 2000 uses local(?) PSTs. I do not have much mail 
yet to determine if there is any special pattern but I think I 
may have noticed something. 

The categories seem to get wiped out when the mail is 
returned to one of the sub-folders and not when it is returned 
to the Inbox. I will watch this and report on it when I am more 
sure of the pattern. 

Outlook seems to have no ability to create multiple Inboxes 
for each account so I have 4 rules like this, one to catch mail 
for each pop acccount and send it to it's own sub-folder:

Apply this rule after the message arrives
sent to @Fuse Ddddddd
move it to the Fuse Ddddddd Folder

I have many dozens of rules to catch email designated for 
archiving target folders which look like this:

Apply this rule after the message arrives
from CareerBuilder.com
assign it to the Copy category
   and move a copy to the CareerBuilders folder

The four pop sub-folder rules are processed first. The 
combination of 2 rules like this results in one copy being 
moved to the Inbox sub folder and another copy to it's target 
folder. Both copies are marked as category "Copy". What 
was left in my inbox was usually spam but not always.

What type of store is this?  Hotmail, IMAP, Exchange, local
PST file?
