I don't think that the problem is the lack of a delete function (since I
think it behaves the same even if you move the spam to another folder
and mark it as Read (although, have you tried that?)).  I believe that
the problem is that Outlook pops up the new message notification before
SpamBayes gets a chance to process the message.  Even if SpamBayes were
to delete it, it would be too late since Outlook would have already
popped up the new message alert.

Hello,

 

I've used SpamBayes V 1.0.4 with Outlook for several years now, and it
works flawlessly.  Thank you, thank you, thank you.  However, since
upgrading my MS Office to 2007 (meaning I am using Outlook 2007) it
drives me nuts that I am constantly being notified, via the task bar,
that I have "new messages".  I've tried to figure out how to get
SpamBayes to just *delete* the stuff it identifies as spam, as it's been
100% accurate for so long that many times I just delete all the contents
of the spam folder without bothering to check each message.  But alas,
you've chosen, for whatever reason, to disallow such action.

 

So, I'm going to have to move on.  I'm just spending too much time
reacting to the 'new messages' notification.  I have a small B&B and
it's absolutely vital in my business to respond immediately to
reservation requests.  Just like answering the phone: if you don't do it
promptly, potential guests just move on to the next place.  So that
little icon is important to me.  No point in filtering out all the spam
if I have to stop what I'm doing every few minutes to go check and see,
"Is it real mail?  Is it spam?"  Sort of defeats the whole purpose,
doesn't it.....

 

I'll sure miss your program.  It is elegant and functions
head-and-shoulders beyond anything else I've tried.

 

Bye, guys.

p.s. And should you decide to add the 'delete' feature, please please
let me know!
