First off, I think we need a "Windows section", labeled as such.

Text with blanks for community fill-in:

"""
The Outlook add-in was developed mostly using Outlook 2000 on Windows
2000 and Win98SE, in Outlook's Internet Mail Only configuration, and
not using Exchange Server.  Those combinations are the best tested, and
problems with other combinations are known.  If you have a problem, the
best way to help make progress is to look for a similar existing bug
report and add any useful information you may have, or to open a new bug
report if your problem seems to be a new one.  XXX point to bug tracker

Outlook Express:  The add-in does not work with Outlook Express.
Despite its name, Outlook Express has little in common with Outlook,
and doesn't expose programming interfaces rich enough for the add-in
to use.  You can use the POP3 proxy approach with Outlook Express
instead.  XXX point to something

Windows 95:  XXX I haven't seen any reports.

Win98SE:  The binary installer doesn't currently work on Win98SE.  The
add-in works fine on Win98 with Outlook 2000 if installed manually,
though.   XXX point to something

Windows ME:  XXX I haven't seen any reports.

Windows NT:  XXX I haven't seen any reports.

Outlook 98, Outlook 2002, and/or Windows XP:  There are mixed reports
about these.  Some people have trouble installing, others report problems
with the toolbar buttons, still others report problems with setting up a
spam score column in a custom view.  These are poorly understood by
the developers so far.  Because the source code for Outlook is secret,
making progress on these is difficult.
