[Spambayes] unremembered spam folder bug

[Castiglione, Chris]

Hello,

Another new (and generally happy) user.  I too have experienced the bug discussed earlier this month, to do with SpamBayes not remembering the SPAM target folder.  I'm running the Outlook Addin binary 003 against Outlook 2000 SR-1 (9.0.0.5414) on Windows NT 4.0

Here's what happened:

I originally set up my target "certain spam" folder successfully, and ran with those settings for a day or two.  Then I decided to try enabling the "uncertain spam" option as well, and accidentally set both targets to the same folder (i.e., both certain and uncertain spam were filtered into the same folder).

After this, I couldn't get either folder to change.  As soon as I left the Filter Rules panel, the folder names would revert back to what they had been before.  I tried deleting the folder in question, exiting Outlook, and restarting it, in the hopes that this would somehow cause the settings to revert, but all it accomplished was setting both folders to <undefined folder>, which also could not be changed successfully.

The following message appeared in the log file during the times when I was trying to change the folders:

Eventually I got around the problem by locating and deleting my user ini file.  Though I had to reset my other options as well, it allowed the folders to be changed.  I've had no further problems since then.
