I am running > 64-bit Windows 7 Professional and Office Professional Plus 2010 according to other postings I've seen here, Spambayes requires you to use 32-bit Outlook even if your OS is 64-bit. once you get past that hurdle there are some others, e.g., you must not install spambayes in the default location. suggestinos I've seen include dropping the spambayes folder directly in the root directory. since I run spambayes on Linux, I have no direct experience using it on Winders so I probably cannot help beyond these suggestions. But I wish you good luck!

What would be the symptoms of that particular bug? The tokenizer was generating certain tokens which it assumed would be dotted quads (e.g., 73.73.103.110) but not checking that they actually contained four elements. The result was an IndexError exception. This error could only be triggered if you had either x-mine_nntp_headers or x-lookup_ip set to True. My fingerprints are on the relevant bit of code, so mea culpa.

Just for fun, I tried running with Python 3.6 and had no success.? So, I am wondering if it's something I did wrong or the possibility that Spambayes just doesn't work with Python 3.x? Perhaps, the dependencies change with Python 3, too.? This is on Debian Buster. Thanks for any info.

I doubt it would be terribly difficult, especially with some of the ancillary tools available like futurize, six and 2to3. Pull requests against https://github.com/smontanaro/spambayes welcome.
