You can delete the message_info_database.db file - the message info
databases that Outlook & sb_server use are not compatible (but this is not a
big deal).

You need to put the statistics_database.db in the data directory (e.g.
'/Documents and Settings/{username}/Application Data/SpamBayes') (not the
Proxy directory in there) and rename it 'default_bayes_database.db'.

It would be best to do this when Outlook was not running.  You will probably
have an existing database file in there, with whatever training the Outlook
plug-in has done.
