Is there any reason that you would rather use pop3proxy with Outlook
than the Outlook plugin? The plug-in is almost certainly the better
option.

Have you run "setup.py install"? What if you run "c:\python23\python
pop3proxy.py -b"?

Is the current directory on the path, though? "import sys;print
sys.path". Again, this sounds like you haven't run "setup.py install".
(Note that the 1.0a5 documentation has been improved).

No. You can set PYTHONPATH to a list of directories to search, but you
shouldn't need to do this if you *install* spambayes.

No. Once you have pop3proxy running, go to http://localhost:8880 and do
the setup there; you'll find it much easier. The options you are after
are:
"""
[pop3proxy]
remote_servers: mail.netspeed.com.au
listen_ports: 110
"""

No. Set the server to "localhost" (or "127.0.0.1", it doesn't matter).
You don't need to do anything else.

Hi there, I don't see this error on any FAQ or in the list of bugs.
I've tried to install the software( SpamBayes-Outlook-Setup-007.exe)
downloaded 3 times,
and every time during the installation process, I get an error message that
says:
============================================================================
==
C/: Programs/SpamBayes Outlook addin/spambayes_addin.dll
Unable to register the DLL/OCX: DllRegisterServer failed; code 0x00000000
Click to retry again, Ignore to proceed anyway (not recommended), or abort.
============================================================================
==
Retying does not work, and I will not try the "ignore" until I know what is
going on.
My computer details are:
AMDK 1700XP
1GB RAM
80GB Hard Drive
running Windows XP Pro
and Microsoft Outlook SP-3
thanks, have a great day.
