Outlook Problem

Dec. 1, 2003

I do not know what happened, but Spambayes was working great, then stopped! I tried uninstall and redownloading and reinstall, but it made no difference. Even after uninstall and before the reinstall, the "Delete as Spam" Icon and the "Spambays" drop down box were there, but clicking on "Delete as Spam" did nothing, and there was no drop down on the spambayse key. I used to get a drop down box re: the manager. What happened? Jeff Moss

Clues! Give us the clues! Here's one that (with no training since it was classified) has a spam probability of 0.84, and is classified as unsure. The spam cutoff is 0.8 I'm guessing now, but it's possible that the classification of the 'unsure' token (see earlier part of thread) may have taken it over the brink of 0.8 eg. It may have had a rating of 0.79, been classified (correctly) as unsure. had the (spammy) unsure token added and is now showing as 0.84. In which case it's the clues production thats incorrect.

Ooops - I've just looked at my question again and realise that the question looks ridiculous ;) What I _meant_ to write, was that I get some message that are classified as 'unsure' when the declared spam probability is 0.8 or higher. i.e. the spam rating is higher than the spam threshold. > Clues!

And I apologise for asking a repeat question :( I've been following the list for a while but somehow didn't read that thread - sorry. I've lodged a bug report.

Is it a bug?
by d'Hollosy Michel Dec. 1, 2003

Hello! Since our exchange mail server does not filter out spam, I installed your SpamBayes about 2 weeks ago and I'm very happy about it. It helps me so efficiently in filtering the useful from the garbage... However I noticed now that my AutoArchive doesn't work properly anymore. Today, I tried to force OL2000 to archive the inbox manually by selecting file->archive...->... (see picture); it did run the process but all the mails are still in the inbox, i.e. they were not moved as expected. I checked whether the Do not archive flag was set in those messages, it's not the case. The phenomenon does not appear in other parts of the mail box, e.g. the sent items are handled ok. Is this an issue that relates to your plug-in?
