[Spambayes] Training Question

[Jeff Pressman]

Sorry if this is not the best place to ask questions but I couldn't seem to get to the user list (http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes )

I am running Spambayes Outlook Addin 0.81 for Outlook 2000 on NT4 (sp6a).

We run Exchange Server 2000 and have setup a public spam folder where staff manually move spam.

The public spam folder contains nearly 2000 spam emails. When I run the training it doesn't appear to acknowledge any of the spam in the public folder.

My question is.. can public folder be used to train for spam?
