Summary: Open External PST resets Filters

Initial Comment:
I opened an external PST file and SpamBayes 
immediately complained about an unkown folder and 
needing to be retrained.

I closed the PST, opened the trainer and in the folder list 
of known good folders it had <unknown> as part of the 
list.

During the retraining it seems to have rebuilt the 
Suspect and Spam folders (doing what? with the 
contents...)

So, um...
- what happened to the old folders (full of trained content)
- what happened to the old training (did it get overwritten)
- anybody else have this problem?

Thanks.

I've attached the file that comes up when "View Log" is 
clicked on the Diagnostics window.

It looks like it starts after the initial crash because I had a 
good 600+ messages trained before it told me it had to re-
train.

I forgot to mention above that I do have one custom VBA 
module in use (attached to a button on Outlook toolbar) and 
while SpamBayes is running on my machine (for testing 
purposes) it's watching a Inbox for another user who has 
granted me full rights to their top Folder and Inbox.

As far as deleting messages, I don't think SpamBayes 
deleted them so much as re-created the folder in which they 
had been stored possible causing the existing contents to 
go 'poof'.

Thanks for the follow-up!

If you use the Training tab, then the old database content
is only replaced if you tick the "rebuild entire database"
box.  Otherwise the database is added to.

Do you have a log file for this period?  This is very
strange behaviour, and not something I've heard of before.

SpamBayes 1.0.x cannot (there is no code) remove any
messages, so it's definitely not SpamBayes that's removed
any folders/messages.
