[Spambayes] Using dialup up modem is tooooo slow

[Coe, Bob]

Make sure your spam folder is NOT on the Exchange Server. (Create a new local .pst file if you don't already have one.) Once Spambayes has established that a message is spam, you want to deal with it locally. Sending it back to the Exchange Server takes extra time, especially over a slow line.
