This message should only be generated when the folder has actually been
deleted.  I used to run with a folder manually created under "Deleted
Items", and it worked just fine.  That message was in response to a bug - a
user accidently deleted the folder, and spambayes died totally.

003 may or may not prevent you selecting an folder already configured under
deleted items - I haven't tried :)

Delete the entire line, and see what happens.  It *should* startup with a
dialog telling you things aren't all cool.  The config dialog should then
prevent you from selecting a deleted folder.  If not, please do file a bug.
