[Spambayes] Problem with POP3 Proxy

[Didier Morandi]

Let me add my two cents here.
I actually did that yesterday at a Customer's place. He was using Outlook
express.

I went to the mail server choice, and changed pop.free.fr to localhost (without
any port numbers). Then I called the WEB interface via the icon in the menu bar
(Windows XP) and entered pop.free.fr as the incoming server name and 110 as the
port (default value).

Then I called Outlook and Bob became suddenly my Uncle (I love that expression).

Voilà.

What is less evident is the training part. It took me more than half an hour to
find the location of the mail folders. Using SHOW HIDDEN FILES and NO NOT HIDE
SYSTEM AND HIDDEN FILES, I finally found them in an obscure coded directory that
I just cannot remember now, but it is somewhere in a local settings folder of
the user (not the Outlook one, another one).

Then I split my already received mail into two folders manually, JUNK and GOOD,
then quit Outlook Express, then went back to the SpamBayes WEB interface and
trained it with both folders. That's it
