Summary: Error initializing: failed to load bayes database

Initial Comment:
Running Win2000 SP4 fully patched, Outlook 2000 SP3. 
After installing the binary and starting Outlook, I get an 
error message :
"There was an error initializing the Spam plugin. Spam 
filtering has been disabled.  Please re-configure and re-
enable this plugin. Error details:Failed to load bayes 
database.
I tried rebooting and restarting Outlook (Spambayes is 
the only add-in) to no avail.

The included spambayeslog1 reports a DBFileExistsError.

How strange!  Can you please try removing that file?

I have a file called
 __db.default_bayes_database.db 
in that directory.

Does the file actually exist?  It would be called
"default_bayes_database.db" and be in your data directory -
with Win2K this is something like C:\Documents and
Settings\{username}\Application Data\SpamBayes, IIRC.

Either way it's very odd - either bsddb is saying it exists
when it doesn't, or the attempt to delete it is silently
failing.
