I copied your approach; Filtering Inbox and JunkMail. It seems to work fine. My next gripe would be to not have the [SPAM] tag....
   
  Overall, it seems to work ok. Thanks for the suggestion.

      I don't think there's a way to kill Outlook's filtering altogether. I use a 1.1 alpha version of SpamBayes to work around this. The alphas allow you to tell SpamBayes to move ham as well as spam. I set up SpamBayes to move certain spam and possible spam into folders that I create for the purpose and move ham into my inbox. I have it filter the Outlook junk and junk candidates folders in addition to my inbox. Outlook does its filtering and then SpamBayes overrides it.
   
  Inelegant and inefficient (Microsoft's fault, not SpamBayes') but effective.

Subject: [Spambayes] Outlook 2007 Junk mail filter - interference withSpamBayes


  
  I have a windows vista machine running outlook 2007. Spam Bayes seems to work fine, but my outlook 2007 Junk Mail filter - even in the off mode - seems to be doing the same kind of "work" as spam bayes.  Thus, very little spam makes it into my spam bucket. Naturally, I prefer spambayes to do my spam filtering.
   
  Can you add to your faq - or send me the answer - on how to truly turn the Outlook 2007 Junk Mail filter off?
