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.

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.
