Cliff:

Others have posted here in the past that it CAN be made to work with
outlook 2013, but there are some things you need to do specially.
1. you must be using 32-bit Outlook even if you have 64-bit windows.
2. you must install Spambayes in some place other than the usual program
folder. I have no clue why.

having said that, I am using Outlook 2013, too, but haven't really tried
very hard to make it work, since the company runs a pretty good spam
filter so that only a little gets thru.

good luck!

Fred

PS:
I wish someone who was familiar with Python would pick up spambayes and
fix up issues like these, it's too good to just let it rot.
