Spambayes devotees, Before installing spambayes, I had set up holding folder (Folder A) for tens of thousands of spam items. I then carefully screened a fraction of them to be sure, and moved them to a folder (folder B) to really get trained. I trained on folder B but the items all stayed there (i suppose that is normal), so I deleted the items, and then had to empty the deleted folder. Did that a few times on batches of 500 or so and it took too many steps, each with an hourglass wait.
So then I just went into Folder B and Shift highlighted a block of them at a time, and hit "Delete as Spam” (seems like 250 was the right number, more than that and it was messed up). The items were removed from Folder B (yipeee-satisfaction) but they did not get added to the Junk Email count, and were not added to the Deleted folder count. (I know the count is just the unread items , but these POSs where 99.999% unread.) Then I checked and they seemed to not be added in the folder in reality (on theory that the count and reality might be different). I had already thoroughly read FAQs and Troubleshooting the plugin and noted that (a) a similar problem was described but it was fixed by going cache mode which I was already in, and (b) it was said that Outlook would not let Spambayes ever really delete items. The count numbers did not change even after I closed Outlook and reopened. So are these "deleted as Spam" deletions really training, and are they really deleted? Where are they going?
