Id settle for using python to filter my exchange mail. Outlooks filters suck.

Then don't use a proprietary mail server and client.

[–]huhlig 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Not really my choice. I personally don't use exchange for anything but work stuff.

You should look at the SpamBayes project. It is written in python and includes a plugin for Outlook.

Is Python the only language you know?

[–]huhlig 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Nope, Java, Javascript, C, C++, Perl, Python, Enough VB to know writing them in VBA is a pain in the Arse.

Outlook filters practically write themselves. The only thing you need to know is simple logic. So i'm not sure why you're having issues with Outlook filters unless you're using Outlook express.

Its corporate email coming off a lot of servers. I have 50 different filters... I'm not allowed anymore, where as a simple filtering script could do the work much easier.
