>Summary: Wrong inbox is selected by default

Initial Comment:
Does not actively filter incoming e-mails and leaves
Spam field empty.  Appears to properly filter mail when
doing a "filter now" and "delete as Spam" works fine. 
The log file is attached and it does contain several
error messages that may be of help.  This is the binary
version running on Win2K using outlook2000.

Removed any default at all - the user must select their
Inbox now.

Checking in FilterDialog.py;
new revision: 1.18; previous revision: 1.17

I did both (make sure I had the right inbox & put unsure in
'Deleted Items" as well).

In my case, I needed to filter incoming mail from an IMAP
inbox, which I would think is a fairly common case.  I would
have preferred no presets or having a full path name for the
folder so that I could easily tell which it was pointing to.
 Having the wrong inbox, was likely the problem.

Was it pointing at the wrong inbox?  It's an interesting point 
that the inbox that is the default choice (Outlook's default, I 
think) might be the wrong one, and confuse people that have 
another folder called inbox.  Not sure what could be done 
about that (apart from docs).

If the solution was setting the uncertain folder, then there 
might be a problem.  You should be able to have unsures be 
untouched, and still filter certains.  I know I've never run it in 
this configuration, though (Mark might have).

It appears to be working at the moment--I sent the uncertain
mail to a folder as well and made sure I was pointing to the
correct inbox.  Thanks for the help--it seems to categorize
very well given a relatively small amount of training.

Cute - I left "Delete" out as an option on purpose - I
didn't think of setting it to move to "Deleted Items" :)

Can you please find a newer log file, and attach it?  I see
strange exceptions, but not ones that would relate to filtering.

Yes, I now have several hundred certain spam that have been
trained into the DB and have the enable filtering box
ticked.  I also delete all certain spam by moving it to
deleted_items.  I don't do anything to the unsures (which is
what I would prefer).   I also have set up the folders to
filter.

In the manager dialog, is the enable filtering box ticked?  
>From the log, when you first started you only had two spam - 
there needs to be at least 5 to enable filtering.  Later on you 
trained more spam, so there would be enough, but it doesn't 
show whether you enabled it or not.  (In addition, you need to 
set up which folder(s) to filter, which folder to deliver unsures 
to, and set the action to "move" or "copy" rather 
than "untouched").

Unfortunately the error messages in the log aren't of use; they 
are hangovers from the installer (that will be fixed in the next 
release).
