Category: Outlook Group: Source code 1.0 >Status: Pending Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: mewaters (mewaters) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Training Bayes, Cannot Expand top-level folders Initial Comment: I think I've followed the instructions here, but I'm having trouble installing SpamBayes with Outlook 2003 on Windows XP MCE PC. I have an IMAP setup, so I installed from source. Please let me know if this was the wrong thing to do. I had initially run the installer, and I thought it was successful until my screen froze on the SpamBayes training screen. This was when I found out you needed to install from source if you are using IMAP. So then I uninstalled SpamBayes, and tried to do it over, this time installing from source. I downloaded Python 2.4.3., pywin32-208.win32-py2.4.exe, and (mistakenly) spambayes-1.1a2.zip. I ran the installs for the first two, unzipped the third and ran the addin.pl in the Outlook 2000 folder. Installation was unsuccessful because I should have downloaded spambayes-1.0.4.zip. Nothing happened when I ran Outlook to indicate that SpamBayes was installed, except the Toolbar Icons were still there from the initial time I'd used the installer. OK, next I deleted the unzipped spambayes-1.1a2 folder, and downloaded the correct 1.0.4 zip file. I unzipped it, and ran addin.pl. This is basically my current situation. I believe I degistered the addin.pl file and deleted the spambayes-1.0.4 folder once because of the problem that at long last I will describe. In any case, this is the problem that persists, and I am basically unable to configure SpamBayes: Now, when I open Outlook, I get the configuration screen which prompts me to "train" SpamBayes as to what it should consider spam. I click "browse" to designate the portions of my mail folder that contain spam and those which do not. Unfortunately, on the popup box that tells me to select folders, I can only see my top-level folders. All of the sub level folders are inaccessible despite the fact that there is a "plus" box next to each top-level folder. Nothing I do allows me to see what's inside the top level and choose appropriately. Sorry to be so long-winded, but please somebody help me... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Tony Meyer (anadelonbrin) Date: 2006-05-12 13:44 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=552329 The problem you describe was a known problem with the 1.0.4 binary (actually with the version of pywin32 it used), but should be fixed in 1.1a2 (and wouldn't apply to running from source with 1.0.4 if pywin32 is up-to-date). My guess is that even though you downloaded the source and ran addin.py you're still using the old version somehow. Perhaps the uninstall didn't complete? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tony Meyer (anadelonbrin) Date: 2006-05-12 13:41 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=552329 If you are using Outlook, then we strongly recommend that you use the Outlook plug-in, and do not run from source. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=498103&aid=1486943&group_id=61702 _______________________________________________ Spambayes-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes-bugs
