Summary: Can't train on items in "Deleted Items" folder?

Initial Comment:
Hello,

I've looked through documentation and haven't seen
anything about this, apologies if I missed it.

I keep about half of my archived mail in the Outlook
"Deleted Items" folder (and subfolders).  The SpamBayes
Manager doesn't let me select those folders to train
on.  Is this by design?  Is it a limitation of Outlook?
 Is there a workaround?

My scoring isn't going to be nearly as good as it could
be until I get that fixed, and I'm reluctant to shuffle
the organization of my stuff because I've got 7 years
of archived mail in other PST files that follow the
same pattern.

Thanks.

This is deliberate, sort of.  You might want to read FAQ 3.11:

<http://spambayes.org/faq.html#why-can-t-i-set-spam-to-be-moved-to-the-deleted-items-folder>

Although you're talking about training, not filtering, it's
the same code that presents the folders (AFAIK).

However, the best thing to do would be to simply adopt a
'train on mistakes' regime.  This is typically one of the
best methods anyway.  So you don't need to train on any mail
that you've already got, just anything that lands in the
unsure folder, or any ham in the spam folder and vice versa.
