[Spambayes] Outlook plugin: Spam and MaybeSpam folders only havetoolbar button "Delete as Spam", not "Recover from Spam" button

[Otto, Michael]

Hi Tony

>>The Maybe Spam (unsure) folder should have both buttons, but the spam
folder
should only have the recover one (and no other folders should have the
recover one).  Does spam end up in that folder?  (i.e. spambayes does
understand that it's meant to be the same folder?)<< 

Yes, Tony.  The spam with a score of over 90% does go to the '! Spam'
folder, although it only has the "Delete From Spam" button, which does
nothing when I click it with a email selected.

My email with spam score between 15% and 90% goes into the '! Maybe
Span' folder as it should, but often I only have the "Delete from Spam"
button in that folder, with the "Recover from spam" button MIA.

I've tried reinstalling spambayes to no avail.  When I re-installed
Outlook 2003 it seemed to correct the problem temporarily, but soon the
buttons reverted back to their incorrect positions.  The problem seems
somewhat intermittant.

I did not encounter this problem prior to upgrading to WinXP and Office
2003 at work.  At home, I'm on WinXP and Office 2000, and I do not think
I've encountered this problem at home.

I still have not shut down my outlook so I have yet to try deleting the
outcmd.dat file.  I'm somewhat reluctant since that will probably wipe
out all my customizations of the toolbar, many of which I've forgotten
that I did.  But I will do it next time I need to reboot my PC.

Thanks

michael

The Maybe Spam (unsure) folder should have both buttons, but the spam
folder
should only have the recover one (and no other folders should have the
recover one).  Does spam end up in that folder?  (i.e. spambayes does
understand that it's meant to be the same folder?)

Great :)

No, that shouldn't matter at all.  SpamBayes tracks folders (and
messages)
by their internal Outlook ids, which are unrelated to their names.  (In
fact, if you rename a folder, as long as it stays in the same store,
SpamBayes should still recognise it).
