I don't think SpamBayes has any current developers and most work dried up even before Python 3 was ready. Modern Outlook also hasn't been tested. So I suspect you are probably on your own here, but those of us left holding the keys would be happy to arrange any doc etc changes you might make get committed if possible.

Cheers,

Is there a recommended set of versions of tools and libraries for Spambayes development? (In particular, is there a recommended setup for python 3.x?)

I would like to get Spambayes to work on a Windows 10 64-bit machine. The current recommendation works on my machine: Use the 32-bit version of Office 365 Outlook and install Spambayes into a non-standard directory like C:/Spambayes. Given that the software works under those conditions on a 64-bit machine, it makes me think that there is some interaction (registry key, etc) missing for Outlook 64-bit to recognize Spambayes. Maybe this is something as simple as rebuilding the installer on a 64-bit machine? (Ok, realistically, I’m sure someone has already tried that.)

Additionally, is there any way to see the runtime error being generated? Outlook 64-bit recognizes that Spambayes is there but generates this message in the Add-ins window: “Load Behavior: Not loaded. A runtime error occurred during the loading of the COM Add-in.” Where can I see that runtime error? Maybe it’s a problem that’s already been solved? I remember seeing some DEP related issues with Outlook and/or the Spambayes plugin. I didn’t have any luck trying to disable DEP on the machine or disable it for Outlook (per the FAQ). Any other suggestions?

Thanks,
