+ <h3>Installing the Outlook Client From Source</h3>
+
+ <p>If the Outlook binary doesn't work for you, you can install from source.
+ To do this, you will need three pieces of software:
+
+ <ol>
+ <li> The Python installer, available from the <a
+ href="http://www.python.org/download/">download page</a> of the Python
+ website. You should choose the latest stable release (that is, the
+ latest release with no letters in its version).</li>
+
+ <li> Mark Hammond's <a
+ href="http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/win32/Downloads.html">win32all
+ extensions</a>. Choose the version which corresponds to the version of
+ Python you downloaded.</li>
+
+ <li> The Spambayes source, either as a <a
+ href="https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=61702">zip
+ file</a> or <a href="http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=61702">via
+ CVS</a>. The zip file will probably be easier to handle, but there are
+ several significant improvements to the code which make the CVS version a
+ viable option (though you will have to have a CVS client for Windows
+ installed).</li>
+ </ol>
+ </p>
+
+ <p>Once you have all three bits downloaded, run the Python installer then
+ the win32all installer. Finally, double-click the addin.py script in the
+ Outlook2000 folder of the Spambayes distribution and you should be good to
+ go.</p>
