The directions you've read are for Outlook, which is completely different from
Outlook Express. (You can thank Microsoft for the confusing names.) SpamBayes
does work with Outlook Express, but it's not as integrated. See
http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/faq.html#does-spambayes-work-with-outlook-express
for further explanation and setup instructions.

Subject: [Spambayes] Can't get it plug-in to load
I've tried 3 times... once with all my security turned off.
It's on my computer because I've used add/remove to REMOVE it 3 times; I've
tried re-starting both OE and my computer.
Plug in does not appear in my Outlook.
I'm running Outlook Express 6 (2004).
In your troubleshooting you say:
a.. Check that Outlook shows the addin as enabled.
1.. Start Outlook, and select Tools->Options to display the main Options
dialog.
2.. Select the tab labeled Other, then click on the Advanced button.
3.. Click on the COM Add-Ins button.
4.. If the SpamBayes addin is not listed, then SpamBayes should be
reinstalled (Note that running regsvr32.exe outlook_addin.dll or
outlook_addin_register.exe from the SpamBayes directory may also solve this
problem).
5.. If the SpamBayes addin is listed but not checked, then simply check it
and close the dialog.
HOWEVER, I don't have a tab labeled "OTHER"... I have General, Read, Receipts,
Send, Compose, Signature, Spelling, Security, Connection and Maintenance. The
ONLY tab with an Advance button is Security. No where could I find the "COM
Add-Ins" .
Our internet provider is Comcast.
Any instruction you give me would have to be in the simplest form, i.e.
Instructions for Dummies
Thanks
