Thanks.

I don't have any version of Windows Server myself, but I've seen messages
from other people on the list who are using 2003 SP1 with SpamBayes, so it
ought to work - OTOH this is the sort of problem that could easily be
missed.

Ryan, Bob: were either of you using Windows Server 2003 SP1?  If so, do you
have any idea whether you've seen this problem?  (The 'mark as read' option
only sporadically working; this isn't the folder list update problem).

Moving the message and setting the 'read' flag are done separately - since
the move works, I'm guessing it's some sort of issue with the latter.  It's
done with a MAPI call, so maybe something did change with the new version -
I would hope that it would raise an error (and therefore create a log entry)
if so, though.
