Try SpamBayes -> SpamBayes Manager ... -> Advanced and check the "Enable
background filtering" box.  That cures a lot of strange Outlook symptoms,
and will be enabled by default the next time the Outlook addin is released.
I don't know whether it will cure your problem (I've never seen it happen
myself), but it's easy to try.
