How many total spam have you trained on, and how many total ham?  spambayes
works best if those are approximately equal numbers.  If you have a large
imbalance, close Outlook, find your default_bayes_customize.ini file and
change the line

experimental_ham_spam_imbalance_adjustment: True

to

experimental_ham_spam_imbalance_adjustment: False

then start Outlook again.  You don't need to retrain after this.  Then let
us know whether that helped.
