[Spambayes] Plugin interaction with Outlook rules?

As Kenneth said, it's much simpler to get SpamBayes to take action last
(this is a limitation of working with Outlook).

This sort of application is the reason that 1.1 will include the ability to
set an action to take for ham messages.  For example, you can have SpamBayes
filter your Inbox, moving all ham to a (eg) "Ham" folder, and then have
Outlook's rules process mail coming into that folder, rather than the Inbox.

I'm hoping to have 1.1a1 done next week (other work is finally settling
down), or you can run from CVS source, if you are able to set that up, right
now.  (The changes have been in place for some time).

As an aside, 1.1 also includes support for notification sounds.

Maybe you need to adjust the timer values for the background filtering
option?
