Summary: Outlook.exe process not terminated

Initial Comment:
After installing Spambayes 1.0rc1, I noticed I couldn't 
delete some Spambayes log files in my temp folder. I 
opened the task manager and saw 4 (four) "Outlook.exe" 
processes idling (but reserving memory) in the list. 
Terminating those processes freed the log files and 
allowed me to delete them safely.
It seems I can open Oulook 2003 infinite times, 
everything works perfectly and Spamnayes IS doing its 
work, but when I close Outlook, the process still remains 
active and uses up my RAM.
Eventually, after an afternoon of work, WinXP told me I 
had not enough memory to continue working (1 Gb RAM 
installed...).
Please solve this one, or I have to leave the project for 
something less memory-hungry!!!
:(((

Sorry, I doubt this has anything to do with SpamBayes.  All 
installations of Outlook I've used, on all flavors of Windows, 
have a habit of not shutting down completely from time to 
time, and regardless of whether SpamBayes is installed.  
Many people have reported the same.  In fact, do some 
googling and you'll find lots of reports of this, along with 
superstitious <wink> advice; e.g.,

My brand new OL2003 on my brand new WinXP Pro SP1 box 
failed to shut down the first time I brought it up, and that 
happened many additional times in the week before I installed 
SpamBayes on this box.  It still doesn't shut down sometimes, 
but I can't predict when it will or won't, and it doesn't seem 
to be any more or less frequent than before I installed SB.  
Likewise for Outlook crashes.
