[Spambayes] Spambayes and my Outlook 2003

[George Lemos]

I KNEW I FLUBBED SOMETHING! After reading through some email messages on the
list, something sparked my interest and I went back to RTFM and got the idea
to look in the filtering tab of the manager. I have rules setup for several
folders. Guess outlook was taking them before spambayes could do its thing.
I told it to look in the folders for the email accounts I am having trouble
with and voila! Spambayes is now working in the way I wish it worked when I
went looking for an anti spam solution. Thanks for the memory jogging list.
