Yes. Perhaps I shall study how to tokenize or how to use the tokenizer
then.
Thanks for the script.

I have the latest version of the add-in installed on Outlook 2003 under
Windows XP on my laptop and desktop. At first it worked fine on both.
Then it stopped working on the desktop, but continued to work on the
laptop. I tried reinstalling Outlook and Spambayes (about three times)
and Python, and following the instructions on the Troubleshooting page.
I eventually found that in Help>About Microsoft Outlook there is a
Disabled items button and there was Spambayes, because Outlook thought
that it was interfering! I hit Enable and it works. 

So I no longer have a problem and thanks for the tip, but you may wish
to update the Troubleshooting: the addin is NOT listed on the Com Addins
list which shows when you hit the COM addins button. The list is empty.
Re-installing did not work, as noted above.

The remedy is actually listed in the Troubleshooting page but for
Outlook 2002 not 2003.

Hope this helps. It's a great piece of software.

Regards,

Chris Rees

I recognize this bug is already being tracked:
[831291] Loads with error - "Could not watch the specified folders".
Per Bugs: Tracker Detailed View, there is no resolution as of yet.

I want to include my error message in hopes of helping you resolve the
problem.

I am receiving the same error upon launching Outlook.  I have the
SpamBayes Outlook Addin, binary version 0.81 (September 9, 2003)
installed.
The filtering is disabled when the error is displayed.  I can enable the
filter afterwards and spam filter performs as normal.  However, the
error is encoutered and filter is disabled every time I launch Outlook
2000 anew.  I also re-configured and re-enable the plugin, but this does
not help.

Also, the add-in is not listed in the COM add-ins.  So, I ran the
regsvr32.exe spambayes_addin.dll from the SpamBayes directory, this did
not add to the list in the COM add-ins.

Have you installed the bsddb3 package for Python 2.2?  You can find it
here: http://pybsddb.sourceforge.net/.

Python 2.2 includes a package named bsddb, but it is not the same as the
package of the same name in Python 2.3 and it has proven to be
problematic on Windows.  If you install the bsddb3 package, then it
should be chosen over the bsddb package on Python 2.2 systems.

Yes I had.

It didn't seem to. And since the comment in the code seem to say "get
2.3 
young man", I did even though I'm not *8=>).

hello, i've searched all the web and found quite a lot of commercial
outlook plugins that allow me to manually whitelist / blacklist an email
by a single click on a button. 

i found

http://www.hlembke.de/prod/disruptor/

very symphatic, but it's not freeware and has many features i do not
need (for example buildin blacklist server queries and such). i only
need a little cute tool that allows me to build up a whitelist simply by
clicking on a button or scanning a outlook directory. no filtering, no
server-blacklisting.

anyone here has an idea ?


thanks in advance, 

		andre
