Summary: Easy-empty Spam, Potential Spam folders

Initial Comment:
I have my spam (Outlook 2K, Windows XP Pro, by the 
way) going into a folder titled 'Spam' and potential spam 
going into 'Potential Spam' (original, eh?). Any way your 
plugin could add 'Empty XXX Folder' to the menu list 
which pops up when I right-click on these two folders, 
as occurs now with the Deleted Items folder? That 
would save me the added steps of selecting all the 
messages in Spam, moving them to Deleted Items and 
then emptying THAT folder. I've got Spam set to 7-day 
message retention, and after that time deletion, but I 
try to keep my Outlook tidier than that when I have 
time.......

Kenny,
How do I roll your patch into my existing v0.81? I'd 
desperately love to be able to do this, as simply previewing 
some of these spam messages (which happens automatically 
when I select them to move them to Deleted Messages) 
indicates to the server that's sent the junk that my email 
address is alive (via GIF image load, etc).

Regards,
Brian

This actually isn't that difficult to do, and I've already 
submitted a patch (#831941) to do it for the Spam folder.  No 
decision yet on whether or not it will be included in a future 
release.

It probably isn't a good idea to do this for the Potential Spam 
folder.  These messages are, by definition, ones that 
SpamBayes is unsure about and need to be looked at 
individually by the user.  If you are getting a lot of messages 
in Potential Spam that you don't care to review, you might 
want to consider lowering your spam threshold so that more 
of these messages go directly into the Spam folder.

I don't know if you can add the menu item, but Outlook 2003 
does provide a SPAM folder with this feature. (not for 
potential spam though)
