Summary: Mail items are NOT always filtered automatically

Initial Comment:
I have configured SpamBayes to run the Outlook Addin 
1.0rc1 in background, with start delay of 2 seconds, and 
delay of either 1 or 0 seconds.  (I tried both trying to 
solve the problem reported here.) 

When spam email arrives it sometimes, but not always, is 
filtered and then moved to my spamkeep or spam_maybe 
folders.  Other times I have to manually invoke "filter 
messages" for something to happen.  They have not 
been filtered, e.g. switching to another folder does not 
cause them to move.  I think that once I have manually 
filtered in an Outlook session later emails will be filtered 
automatically.   This behavior happened with my older 
(about 1 year old) SpamBayes.  

But now I notice the additional bad effect: if I archive a 
folder (e.g. my spamkeep folder -- I keep it in case I 
need to retrain) the messages are archived,
but they do not *seem* to move until I click on another 
folder.  This behavior is new, and undesirable.

As requested by anadelonbrin I am attaching a log file.  
Except for the last 5 lines, this was the log file this morning 
when I noticed that the Outlook Addin was not automatically 
filtering messages.  Then I manually ran "Filter Messages ..." 
(which did move a few spam messages).  After this the log 
had 5 more lines.   Here are those last 5 lines, as output by 
running diff on the before copy and after copy of the log file.
(Formatting was changed when I entered the data, but you 
can see when each line begins by looking for the > symbol):

> Saving configuration -> C:\Documents and 
Settings\A071046\Application Data\SpamBayes\Default 
Outlook Profile.ini
> SpamBayes: Watching (for filtering) in 'Mailbox - Tolkin, 
Steve/_home'
> SpamBayes: Watching (for filtering) in 'Mailbox - Tolkin, 
Steve/Inbox'
> SpamBayes: Watching (for incremental training) in 'Mailbox -
 Tolkin, Steve/InboxMyMisc/spamkeep'
> Saving configuration -> C:\Documents and

Steven: could you attach a log file that covers a period
with the first problem (the messages not filtering)?  The
messages not moving until they are deselected sounds similar
to another reported problem, but, unfortunately, it's one
that we're not sure what the cause of is, yet.

huxley75: Any DBRunRecovery error means that the database is
hosed, and the only way to fix that is to retrain from
scratch.  This is extremely rare with the plug-in, and we
don't know why it happens in the remaining cases - any
chance that Outlook crashed in the middle of training at
some point?  The timer values can't be zero - fixing the
constraints is being dealt with in another tracker, IIRC.

I'm having a similar problem with my Outlook plugin, as
well. I'm using Outlook 2K on WinXP and the problem just
started cropping up (I've been running previous versions of
SpamBayes without a hitch until I upgraded to v1.0b1, when I
first noticed the issue). Looking at the SpamBayes log, I
found: "Bayes database initialized with 779 spam and 1337
good messages
*** - message database has 2095 messages - bayes has 2116 -
something is screwey" in the log. I had noticed that
SpamBayes wasn't adding new spam to its training database (I
had gotten up to over 1000 spam in the Junk E-Mail folder
but it never registered above 800 spam).

There is also a "Folders/Junk Suspects - pythoncom error:
Python error invoking COM method." error, "The timer is
enabled, but one of the timer intervals values is zero
You must set both intervals before the timer will enable",
and a number of similar "'DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run
database recovery -- fatal region error detected;"
throughout the log file.
