You are not alone :(  Just yesterday, a google search found this tidbit
related to Outlook 2002:

--
Outlook 2002 has probably disabled SpamBayes. Just do the following to get
it back: Start Outlook, go to Help, About Microsoft Outlook. Click the
Disabled Items button. Select SpamBayes. Click Enable. Restart Outlook 2002.

(It didn't say SpamBayes before though :)  I have no idea if this will solve
your problem, or indeed if it even makes any sense.  Please let us know
either way.

Thanks,

Mark.
