Subject: [Spambayes] Spam Bayes and Outlook 2013
Message-ID: <000001d2469c$46192060$d24b6120$@n2prise.org>

I have been using Spam Bayes for years on my older XP lap top with Outlook
2003/2007.  When I got a Lenovo P400 in 2013 now running Win 8.1, the
Outlook 2013 worked with Spam Bayes for a long time, until recently.  I get
the idea a recent UPDATE screwed up the program.  Outlook will not start
normally unless I disable Spam Bayes.  Anyone out there have the same
problem or fixed it?  I have tried the usual ideas like C:\SpamBayes for the
directory, and shutting of the graphics accelerator with no luck.  Does
anyone know a Microsoft KBxxxxxxx file number that could be the trouble?  I
would certainly delete it to make my Spam Bayes work again.

 

Thanks,

Based on other postings to this list, I understand that Spambayes works
on newer Windows versions (probably 8.x is included) only if you use a
32-bit version of Outlook.

I've also read about there being issues with where it is installed. If
you let the installer drop it wherever it likes, I recall having read
that it won't work. there was something about putting it completely
outside of the normal directory tree where windows installs things,
though I don't remember details.

good luck!

PS:
Or, a suggestion: you could switch to LInux. it works great on my
succession of LInux boxen. :) :) :)
