[Spambayes] Automatic filtering

[Will Pardy]

Thank you for your response, but...

The problem is that the "Enable SpamBayes" box (General tab of the SpamBayes
Manager) IS ticked.  Also, the 'watched folders' list is my 'Inbox'.
Nevertheless, when I open Outlook, all Spam (and Ham), are displayed in my
Inbox.

I then have to manually click on:
Spambayes -> Filter Messages... -> and then click on 'Start Filtering' to get
spambayes to perform the filtering of messages.  Once I do this, spambayes
filters as expected.

The point is that I want spambayes to filter automatically without me having to
instruct it to do so.

Any help would be appreciated.

Will

If the "Enable SpamBayes" box (General tab of the SpamBayes Manager) is ticked,
then all folders selected in the 'watched folders' list (Filtering tab of the
SpamBayes Manager) will be filtered when Outlook is running.

I'm not sure I understand this - filtering and training are quite separate. To
filter, follow the steps above.  If you want to train, then the best method is
to just use the "Delete As Spam" and "Recover from Spam" buttons.
