This happens quite regularly because Outlook makes it all too easy to accidentally delete the entire folder instead of just the messages in it. Unfortunately, there is no way to prevent the folders from being deleted. If you use Outlook 2003, you can set Outlook's "Junk E-mail" folder as your SpamBayes spam folder and Outlook will not let this folder be deleted, but there is still nothing you can do except be careful with your suspects folder.

Subject: [Spambayes] deleted my junk suspects folder, now messed up
Importance: High

OK, I accidentally deleted my junk suspects box, now it says its not configured correctly and our computer person is out until Monday. Any help? I tried things on my own but nothing seems to work. Can you make the junk and junk suspects folders where you can’t delete the without being prompted?
