SpamBayes and Thunderbird, server and username (followup)
by Monte Jan. 9, 2006

Jan. 9, 2006

I got it working, set the server to "localhost", set username to "username" and it works. Here's something I ran into. I've got 3 email addresses I get with Thunderbird (Mozilla). Each one has a Server, Port, and Username. 2 of them have the same "username". Thunderbird won't let me set the server for those both to "localhost", I had to set one to "127.0.0.1". I've got each looking at a different port, 110, 115, and 120. Popfile handled this by making the usernames "mail.server.com:username", that would eliminate this problem, making all the usernames truly unique for the localhost server. Monte ##### previous message ##### I just installed SpamBayes to use with Thunderbird. I've been using Popfile successfully. I set the server to "localhost". The username has been set to "mail.server.net:username" (no quotes) for Popfile. This isn't working for SpamBayes, or at least I can't get it to work, there is a problem with my password authentication, it won't. I can't find anything on this "subject", searched the archives back 5 months. I also use AVG 7 for my anti-virus. Windows XP. spambayes-1.0.4.exe is what I installed. Thanks, Monte

Re: [Spambayes] Outlook 2003 Crash

Hi Tony, After a few tries, I was able to run the "Detect and Repair" successfully (it ended in a message that said it was successful), but I'm still not able to re-enable SpamBayes without Outlook crashing (as described earlier). What else do you think could solve this?

Your messageinfo database is corrupt; you need to remove the database file. The name & path of this file is on the configuration page, but it's most likely called spambayes.messageinfo.db and in 'C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Application Data\Spambayes\Proxy'. If you delete the file a new fresh copy will be created next time SpamBayes starts up. =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 and Thunderbird, server and username

I just installed SpamBayes to use with Thunderbird. I've been using Popfile successfully. I set the server to "localhost". The username has been set to "mail.server.net:username" (no quotes) for Popfile. This isn't working for SpamBayes, or at least I can't get it to work, there is a problem with my password authentication, it won't.

I start to get spams that were not even shown on the "untrained list". They were put in my inbox as ham, and could not be trained against. -STC

new Kmail feature
by Claude Jones Jan. 7, 2006

Jan. 7, 2006

I've just installed KDE 3.5 rc1 on my Fedora Core box. While going through the settings in Kmail, I activated the antispam wizard. The first thing it does is search for antispam software on the computer. It found Spambayes, and gave me some configuration options, mostly involving where to put detected spam and where to put unsure. Once I'd done that, a couple of icons appeared in the menu bar, one for classify as spam and one for classify as ham. If I tell it to classify some message as spam, the message is immediately removed from the folder and sent to trash. I'm wondering if this has been implemented in conjunction with the Spambayes team - that's one question. The second is more regarding how this works. If any one knows - if I click on the classify as spam icon in the toolbar, does that classification get processed into my spambayes database? -- Claude Jones Bluemont, VA, USA
