Re: [Spambayes] Outlook Express and Windows XP

[Dale Schroeder]

I am not sure to which page you are referring, but this FAQ page - 
SpamBayes on Windows <http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/windows.html> - 
does point out that the plugin does not work with Outlook Express.  As 
you have implied, the configuration may seem daunting at first, but it 
is not exceedingly so.  As a proxy, SpamBayes is an intermediary between 
your email client and your mail provider's servers.  If you look at your 
server settings in Outlook Express, those values get moved to the 
proxy.  Outlook Express is changed to point to SpamBayes, usually 
localhost or 127.0.0.1 and port 8110.  The workaround for Outlook 
Express mentioned previously is required.


As you mentioned, if your spam situation has improved, then SpamBayes 
may not be needed.  However, for many, when 80% or more of received 
email is spam, the program is essential.


I hope this helps explain things.

 Mr. Schroeder;
If the plugin is for Outlook alone, why does the download page 
recommend the version for Windows XP and Outlook Express? Due to all 
the technicalities on the installation page, for those of us who don't 
know much about these things it seems better to leave well enough 
alone and not install it especially since the common spam expected 
wasn't received today. -Terry Stone paultst...@earthlink.net

Paul,

The plugin is for Outlook alone.  For Outlook Express, the setup
is the same as other mail clients, such as Mozilla Thunderbird or
Pegasus Mail.  In this scenario, SpamBayes is configured and
trained through a web page, usually http://localhost:8880. The
SpamBayes proxy is configured with your email server settings, and
Outlook Express is configured to contact the SpamBayes proxy.  You
will find more details here:

With Outlook Express, the 2nd paragraph of the FAQ above is essential.

Hope this helps,
Dale

  Dear Sirs;
   I downloaded Spambayes yesterday Version 1a6 (I think)
because a site recommended it for Windows XP  and
Outlook Express. So far, I see no way to access Spambayes to
start training it and the training instructions apply to Outlook
only and I see no way to apply them to Outlook Express. No icon
is on the Home Page. Where do I go from there? - Terry Stone
