If you are planning to use POPfile with Outlook and Outclass ensure that you don't configure POPfile at all. Outclass only works if POPfile is not running and not configured through its own interface.
If you are interested in Outclass then let me know. For some reason development seems to have stopped, but it still works fine. Trouble is it is only guaranteed to run with certain versions of POPfile, and you may not be able to download those versions anymore.
(I have just checked an the POPfile download page has old versions so this should not be a problem)Also Outclass was released in a later version (Outclass1.3.0.0a-r for popfile 0.21.x) on the site and was quicker but for some reason it is not there any longer. I have been running it for over a year without any problems so if you'd like a copy I can let you have the installer.
(I have just checked and althought there is no information about this version on the main page it is at the top of the download page)The links for anyone interested are:
http://www.vargonsoft.com/Outclass/http://popfile.sourceforge.net/Note that POPfile will work with ANY POP email client, but Outclass is specific to MS Outlook 2000/XP/2003 using Exchange, POP or IMAP.
As I said POPfile should only be installed and not configured or run if it is to be used with Outclass.
If you are not using Outclass then the POPfile installer walks you through setting up the system and is access via a local webpage interface. Once you have gone through the learning phase you don't really need to have much to do with POPfile - it all becomes automatic. Basically it grabs incoming email before it gets to your client, tags it and then your email client can organise the new mail using the incoming tags.

By the way did you know that the GLOW button when entering messages works fine in Internet Explorer but has odd effects in Firefox?
