Summary: Outlook Plug-in does not filter mail moved by rules from inb
Initial Comment:
Outlook 10 is configured to move email from inbox to
other folders based on email address of incoming mail.
Spambayes outlook plug-in filters the mail that remains
in inbox appropriately, but doesn't filter the mail that the
rules move. (either in the inbox prior to the move, or in
the destination folder after the move). All folders
inbox, and destination folders are specified for filtering.
When rules to move mail are disabled, (leaving all mail in
inbox), All mail is filtered appropriately.

The toolbar failure is normal, and SpamBayes just recreates
the SpamBayes menu. The next release should include an
improved message to indicate that this is expected.
When using background filtering, SpamBayes will not see
messages before they are moved out of your Inbox by
Outlook rules. If you want moved messages to also be
filtered for spam, make sure that you have included all folders
that messages could be moved *to* in the "Filter the
following folders" setting on the Filtering tab of SpamBayes
Manger.
How are you determining that messages are getting scored?
If you are checking them with the "Show spam clues"
command then that performs manual scoring of the message,
and does not indicate that SpamBayes scored the message
automatically.

I have now turned background filtering on and had it on for
3.5 hours, I have received more email and this is still not
being moved even though it has a high score.
I noticed this error message in every log put in at startup
time:
FAILED to add the toolbar
item 'SpamBayesCommand.Manager' - (-
2147352567, 'Exception occurred.', (0, None, None, None, 0, -
2147467259), None)

I can report experiencing similar problems. If I knew how to
add my logs files I would to assist.
I am running XP Home, Outlook 2002
Messages are moved from my Inbox to other folders with rules.
All messages are filtered, I get a score ( and a good one I
must admit) but they are not moved to the Spam or suspect
folders.
As very few messages are left in my inbox I can not yet tell if
those get moved correctly.

I can confirm that Outlook 2002 (winXP -v. 0.81) actually IS
filtering (even getting a score) my other folders but it does not
move the spams to the spam folder. (only applies to emails
that are moved by email-rules).
Main inbox is filtered OK and spams moved correctly.
I just read all the comments, since I am a new user, I will send
a log as soon as (if) I get the same results with background
proccessing enabled.

I'd like to see some logs for people who still see this
problem. Note that we know we have problems in this
scenario without Background mode enabled, so please make
sure you are using that before you attach the log.
Further, colforbin appears to have a different problem -
that the mail *is* filtered by SpamBayes but then ends up
back in the inbox! Everyone else seems to have the problem
that SB simply isn't filtering these other folders. Please
correct me if I am wrong.

I am experiencing the same scenario, the filter correctly (and
impressively!) identifies mail as spam, but the mail is not
moved. My environment is Outlook XP and Windows 2000
professional. I can see the e-mail 'visiting' the suspected and
junk mail folders while watching the folder view in Outlook,
but invariably they end up back in my inbox. I have turned
off my Rules, but it is still happening. BTW, kudos for
undertaking this effort, I will donate because this is such a
great cause (and I encourage others to not take a 'free ride'
also).

I submitted the original report. At mhammond's suggestion, I
installed .81 and after enabling the background mode, re-
establishing all the fields for spam scoring, and filtering the
recipient folders as well as the inbox, The folders handled by
Outlook rules were also automatically filtered as intended.
When mail arrives, I can watch the mail initially being moved
from the inbox to the separate folders by outlook rules, and
then subsequently being moved from these folders to the
Spam & Possible Spam folders by SpamBayes.

Same thing happened to me as well.
But, I checked and saw that the plug in does not appear in
the com add-in manager. I've removed the spambayes
software, deleted the spambayes folder under the application
folder, deleted the spambayes toolbar from within Outlook
and then installed the latest version 0081 of the plug-in.
Then I configured the add-in again but all of this does not
help. I can use the spambayes toolbar and click "delete as
spam" manually and it does the job right, but the automatic
filtering of spam while I receive emails does not work at all.
If anyone has a resolution for this I would appreciate it.
I'm using Office xp professional and Outlook xp (2002) with sp-
2.

I can confirm this for 0081. I am moving all mail from my
inbox into 4 designated folders. Moving the mail detected as
spam/unsure never works for me.
I have tried to select background processing. Including or
excluding Inbox in the list of filtered folders does not
help either.
Outlook XP (German version)

I just started using Version 0081 today and this problem is
still occurring. (It was also occurring with the previous version
I used, 007).
Like the other fellow, I use rules to move mail immediately
from the Inbox to one of 6 different folders. In my case, each
of those folders represents a different email account.
I've tried just filtering the Inbox, but the messages seem to
get moved by the rules before SpamBaye filters them. I've
also tried filtering just the 6 folders and not the Inbox and it
seems to work sometimes but not other times. I have a
feeling that I might workaround the problem by filtering my 6
folders (not Inbox), while setting SpamBaye to "filter in the
background", but I haven't done enough experimenting to see
if this works for sure.
