[Spambayes] Setting up an 'fpfnunsure' regime that expired for Outlook?

Are you wanting to use this for testing, or for your actual day-to- 
day training?

If you're wanting this for your day-to-day training, then there's  
nothing available.  The Outlook plug-in keeps things as simple as  
possible, and is really designed for fpfnunsure only.  There hasn't  
been any evidence (IIRC) that expiring messages is good, so none of  
the SpamBayes scripts have any support for it.

If you're wanting to do testing, then you can certainly do testing  
with fpfnunsure and expiring.  The export.py script in the  
Outlook2000 directory will export your mail from Outlook to the  
testing setup.  Then sort+group.py in the testtools directory will  
split up and rename the mail, readying it for using with the  
incremental testing setup.  Finally, incremental.py will run the  
incremental testing setup.  The incredmental readme explains this in  
more detail, or ask if you want more help (I suspect this isn't what  
you're wanting to do, though).  There isn't a regime setup for  
fpfnunsre with expiring, but it'd be easy enough to create one (in  
regimes.py in the testtools directory) - basically combining the  
fpfnunsure regime and one of the expire ones.
