It's not *required*, it's *recommended*.  Because of the underlying math,
you'll start to get very odd-seeming results if there's a significant
imbalance.

Does any error occur when doing the uninstall?  Is SpamBayes still listed in
the Add/Remove programs list?  Have you installed versions after 1.0a9 over
the top of earlier versions?  The Add/Remove Programs control panel should
(and does for anyone else that I am aware of) do a complete uninstall apart
from the toolbar.

If it's not in the Add/Remove Programs control panel, then you could try
installing it again and then uninstalling.  If you want to do it all
manually, then you can run the outlook_addin_register.exe program in the
"bin" directory in the directory you installed SpamBayes into with
"--unregister" as a parameter, then manually delete all the files in that
directory, and the Start Menu shortcuts.

Possibly.  The troubleshooting guide has a lot of possible solutions for
toolbar problems (which are generally pretty rare).
