[Spambayes] timing problems in cached mode in Outlook 2003

[Ryan Malayter]

When running Outlook 2003 in cached mode (which only available when
connecting to an Exchange server), the intermittent downloading of
messages seems to confuse SpamBayes. I have the max background
processing delay of 10 second turned on, but this doesn't seem to be
long enough. Every time I open Outlook 2003, only about 7 to 10 of my
new messages get filtered. I have to manually run the filtering.
 
Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
 
My suggestions for ameliorating the problem would be
1) allow the user to make the initial processing delay longer than 10
seconds
2) have two separate delay values, one that is in effect when Outlook is
first opened, the other delay that is in effect at all other times
3) have a "polling" process that checks for new items without a Spam
field N seconds
 
And of course, background processing and reasonable default delays
should be automatically enabled when SB detects that Outlook 2003 is
running in cached mode.
 
Just wanted to get people's thoughts before I submitted a feature
request.
