[Spambayes] Reset for an Outlook e-mail account

[Michael Kallay]

OK, I have figured it out.  In case you are interested:

Following skip's suggestion (separate thread) to uninstall and reinstall
SpamBayes did not fix the problem. 

Answering the question below: The dialog I was referring to was the "COM
Addins" dialog box, accessed from Tools/Options/Other/Advanced Options.  In
my wife's Outlook account, trying to add SpamBayes there wouldn't do
anything. But it did work after I changed her Windows account type to
Administrator.  This seems to be a requirement.

I have made a donation.

Thanks for your responses,
Michael

That looks like a clue you should follow; maybe all addins are disabled? 
  Check "Help->Disabled Items" too.

I'm not sure what dialog you are referring to, but Outlook addins are 
always DLLs.

Uninstalling spambayes will leave all your training information behind 
should you later re-install.
