SB with Outlook 2003?
by Don Ireland May 25, 2005

Will Spambayes work well with Outlook 2003? Although 2003 has it's own spam filters and does a decent job, it still misses alot of spam and I've already got it set on "high". TIA

Works for me. Since I can't turn off the Exchange server-side filtering, I have SpamBayes filter Outlook's Junk folders as well. SpamBayes doesn't move ham (yet), so I find messages in the Junk or Junk candidates folder periodically, in which case I know Exchange thought they were spam but SpamBayes knew better. ________________________________ From: spambayes-bounces(a)python.org [mailto:spambayes-bounces@python.org] On Behalf Of Don Ireland Sent: Wednesday, May 25, 2005 11:25 AM To: spambayes(a)python.org Subject: [Spambayes] SB with Outlook 2003?

Bill: have you tried looking at the FAQ entry that covers setting up Outlook Express? I've updated it to include setting up mail rules. It could be worth reading it to check that you've done everything that it outlines, or just following the steps outlined there, to check that everything is done. <http://spambayes.org/faq.html#how-do-i-set-up-spambayes-and-outlook-express > =Tony.Meyer -- Please always include the list (spambayes at python.org) in your replies (reply-all), and please don't send me personal mail about SpamBayes. http://www.massey.ac.nz/~tameyer/writing/reply_all.html explains this.

[spambayes-dev] - a new idea .... Spam filtering per hand with delete option also !?
by camel＠rocam.com May 25, 2005

May 25, 2005

hi, I known there is no delete function for SPAM-filtering for folders, because it would be to dangerous...but for spam-folder it would help me But i will tell you for what i would be very helpfull ... .) IMAP-System example ====================== I have folder "Inbox" , "SPAM" and "Trash" and also a lot of archiv-folders ....anyway... 1.) So in the options i only check the folder "Inbox" and move all SPAM-mails to "SPAM". 2.) sometimes i check manually per hand the spam-folder - after that i delete all messages and a copy is also in "Trash" after that ..... Well - NOW - how can i clean the trash-folder ??? With an "filter manually for SPAM and delete these messages" would be very helpful (and there can be also some warnings on "delete" of course :) When i filter the "Trash"-folder mit the normal SPAM filter option the mails would be moved to "SPAM", then i can deleted there once again and a double effekt would then happen :) I hope it is clear why an delete option would be great :) Cu camel

Could you email us a copy of a log file that covers a period when this happens? > Maybe you can plan a "email-not spam"-defaulkt folder option. I would really like to avoid adding more options, especially ones that are needed in such a small number of cases (i.e. only IMAP, and not even all IMAP servers, since some do allow storing additional information). The current solution (storing the information locally) should work, and gives a sensible behaviour (restoring to where the message originally was). If it isn't working then that's a bug, which I'll try to fix for 1.1a2 - the log file would help for that. =Tony.Meyer -- Please always include the list (spambayes at python.org) in your replies (reply-all), and please don't send me personal mail about SpamBayes. http://www.massey.ac.nz/~tameyer/writing/reply_all.html explains this.

Configuring Outlook Express
by Oliveri May 25, 2005

May 25, 2005

I downloaded Spambayes 1.0.4, server/proxy application, to be used on Outlook Express. I' not quite sure how to do two things: 1. set-up Outlook Express to receive mail from localhost rather than the mail server., and how to: 2. configure Outlook Express to use the spambayes port (8110). Any guidance would be greatly appreciated, since it seems I'm almost there. Tony O.

Re: [Spambayes] [spambayes-dev] ham goes not left to the original folder - Outlook2003

Please note that the spambayes-dev list is for discussion about the development of spambayes. General questions, bug reports, and so forth should be directed to spambayes(a)python.org. > ham goes not left to the original folder - Outlook 2003.... > > My original folder is (IMAP) inbox > Then after spam-filtering it goes to folder "SPAM" > Bu then i go to folder "SPAM" -> take one of this mails and > click an NOT SPAM"-icon Then the programm move it to thew > lokal INBOX - and not to the IMAP-inbox folder. Are you using the latest version (1.0.4)? If not, upgrading *might* help. If you look in your log, you will probably see entries that say something like "Moving back to original folder; can't find original folder, moving to default inbox instead" (I can't recall what the exact wording is). The problem is that SpamBayes tries to save information about the message (the folder it was originally in) when it moves the message. This means it knows where to move it back to. Sometimes Outlook stores (particularly IMAP ones) do not let you save additional information with messages, however. This means that SpamBayes can't remember where it originally was. It needs to put it somewhere, so it takes a best guess, which is to the default store's inbox (where incoming non-IMAP mail will go to). There are two possible solutions: 1. If possible, you could change the default store to the IMAP account, so that SpamBayes would fall back to the right folder. This will change where mail arrives, though, so you may not wish to do this. 2. SpamBayes 1.1 has as fix for this (the information is also stored locally, so it can fall back to that). 1.1 is in alpha at the moment, but IIRC there haven't been many reports about problems with the Outlook plug-in. So you could try downloading 1.1a1 and using that. =Tony.Meyer -- Please always include the list (spambayes at python.org) in your replies (reply-all), and please don't send me personal mail about SpamBayes. http://www.massey.ac.nz/~tameyer/writing/reply_all.html explains this.
