[Spambayes] Filtering with Outlook 2003

[Steve Crane]

Hi,

I have been using SpamBayes for quite a while now and have been very
happy with it under Outlook XP.  I recently upgraded to Outlook 2003 and
now have a small issue with SpamBayes, which I am using in favour of the
built-in spam filter.

I find that when I first start Outlook in the morning SpamBayes does not
automatically filter my inbox.  It sometimes filters a few new messages,
sometimes none, but invariably leaves a large number of new messages
unfiltered.  I think that this may have something to do with the Cached
Exchange Mode that I am using, which will start up in an offline mode,
before finding and connecting to the Exchange server and synchronising
the online and offline copies of my mailbox.  I suspect that the
filtering may be taking place before this synchronisation has completed.
I tried setting the Processing Start Delay to 5 seconds (I had it at 0)
but this did not seem to make any difference.  Once the synchronisation
has completed I am able to manually trigger the filtering but would
really like to make it automatic.  At morning start-up (when there might
be several hundred new messages) is the only time the filtering fails.
It works as expected for the rest of the day.

Regards.
