Thanks for the suggestion. I like the simplicity of Trend's Spam Pilot
and the fact that I don't have to train it much at all. It just went
through my Outlook inbox pretty accurately.

My only "issue" is that Outlook takes about 20 seconds to close with
Spam Pilot running. Since I have 4 user accounts, I have to wait 20+
seconds after closing one account before I can open another.

If I don't wait, outlook is still running and therefore brings up the
same user again.

Do you have this "problem"?
