Yes.  In the SpamBayes menu on the toolbar there should be a "check for new
version" item, that would tell you this.  The website <http://spambayes.org>
also has this information.

> 2. how is it better?

I presume you're only interested in the Outlook plug-in.  In that case, it
just fixes a variety of small bugs, and a relatively common problem with
installation.

If you want details, then you can read the "What's New" file online, here:

<http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/spambayes/spambayes/WHAT_I
S_NEW.txt?content-type=text%2Fplain&rev=1.28>

Or if you want even more details, you can read the "Changelog" here online,
here:

<http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=215808>

If you want more details than that, then you can read through the archives
of the checkins list:

<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/spambayes-checkins>

I don't know if you can hide a folder in Outlook or not.  In any case,
there'd be no difference hiding the Junk Folder and any other Outlook
folder.  Outlook's help would probably answer this.

FAQ 3.9 answers the rest:
