[Spambayes] RE: (no subject)

[Coe, Bob]

I don't mean to beat a dead horse, but I've always wondered why the answer to 3.10 is what it is. In Outlook, the "delete" operation is just a special case of the "move" operation, so it's counterintuitive that specifying the "Deleted Items" folder as your spam folder won't work. OTOH, I have no reason to doubt your testing to date. So assuming that Outlook somehow blocks you from moving identified spam into the current Deleted Items folder, will it work if you move it to the Deleted Items folder of another .pst file? I.e., would Outlook be fooled into failing to enforce its peculiar restriction in that case?

Or is it that the Deleted Items "folder" (in any file) is a fiction and therefore can't be referred to in some contexts where real folders can?

I suppose I could test it myself. Oh, well, one of these days.....
