[Spambayes] Odd behavior with messages

[douglas cohn]

AH  sorry for the multiple message but that last part, about the message
being unavailable to move.

I tested it for the tenth time.  It is my default inbox that it goes to when
you click recover from spam.

I can shut down Outlook, and then be able to move those messages from the
inbox after they have been recovered from spam.  I do NOT recall this being
true with every message I recover from spam.  Only these oddball ones that
have 0% spam probablility. 

What is causing this delayed update?  If I move it from the Junk E-Mail
folder to the Inbox or any folder without clicking recover from spam I can
then move it again elsewhere.  Only when I use recover from Spam  (and I
think only with these oddball messages but not sure) does it occur.

Sratching head.....

Are you getting that score from the score column in Outlook or using the
"Show clues for this message"?  If not the latter, what happens if you do
use that?

Training (recovery) isn't about addresses, it uses the entire content of the
email.  The clues list (as above) shows the information that is used for
training.  Posting a clues list for one of these messages (before training)
to us might help.

What that means is that SpamBayes couldn't store additional information with
the message (this probably includes the score, too, so that could explain
why the score is always 0%).  If it can't do that, then it falls back on the
default store's inbox.  Is this an IMAP store?  The problem is reasonably
common with IMAP (and is addressed in 1.1a1).

I'm guessing from the error that the message has already moved, but Outlook
hasn't updated the display.  If you do that and then look in the default
Inbox, is the message there?
