Simply copy the default_bayes_database.db file from the data directory on
the system you used to train to the data directory on each of the user's
systems.  When they open Outlook, they'll have training data already (the
logs will contain a warning about the message database count not matching
the token database, but you can ignore that).  Make sure you do this when
Outlook is closed, though.

I'd recommend only starting them off with a small database, even if you
don't expect them to train (maybe 100 ham and 100 spam), and ensuring that
it's evenly balanced.
