From ccw at vpslaw.com Fri Jan 9 18:36:18 2015 From: ccw at vpslaw.com (Cliff Whitney) Date: Fri, 9 Jan 2015 11:36:18 -0600 Subject: [Spambayes] SpamBayes and Outlook 2013 Message-ID: <005f01d02c32$c92b00d0$5b810270$@vpslaw.com> Is there any way to make the current SpamBayes work with Outlook 2013, or are there any plans to make it compatible with 2013? SpamBayes worked great with Outlook 2010, before I unfortunately "upgraded" to Outlook 2013 by unthinkingly clicking on some upgrade box that came up, only to find out later that SpamBayes does not work with 2013. I'm being overwhelmed with junk mail again after getting so much relief using your software. I will appreciate any information you can give me.

I have no clue why. having said that, I am using Outlook 2013, too, but haven't really tried very hard to make it work, since the company runs a pretty good spam filter so that only a little gets thru. good luck! Fred PS: I wish someone who was familiar with Python would pick up spambayes and fix up issues like these, it's too good to just let it rot. -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex at fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ---------------------------- Do you not know?

Timothy: Are you using the Outlook plugin? I am not currently using that, so this will be from memory (and at my age, memory isn't always that good...) I recall that my Outlook had somewhere upper-left-ish a little thing you could click on to set spambayes options. the instructions for the outlook plugin (or maybe some of the verbiage on the spambayes home page) should tell you how to configure that. But basically, you tell spambayes which folders are ham (good mail), spam, or unknown, and set policy for what it does when things get moved into one of those folders. Generally, you want your inbox to be for ham, and two other folders that you can create (unless you want to tell is to use the junk folder you get for free :) with Outlook for spam). You can also tell it via that same mechanism when/how to train, as far as I recall, things like "train when mail is dropped in the box" and/or other options. Sorry that's not more detailed, but it's been a few years. There IS documentation for it, you may need to dig for it, though.
