Setting up SpamBully for IMAP allows the software to automatically scan and filter server-synchronized mailboxes rather than just standard POP3 local downloads. Unlike standard POP3 email setups which filter emails as they download, IMAP configurations require SpamBully to monitor live server folders continuously. Phase 1: Installation & Initial Training
Download the Installer: Visit the SpamBully Download Page and download the correct version tailored for Microsoft Outlook.
Execute Installation: Close your email client, open the downloaded setup file, accept the licensing agreements, and choose your preferred installation directory.
Run the Setup Wizard: Open Outlook to trigger the SpamBully Setup Wizard automatically. Select your native language and choose whether to import configurations from previous versions.
Train the Filter: Allow the software to scan your Sent Items folder to build an initial whitelist of contacts you communicate with. Select local folders containing purely legitimate emails (“Ham”) to train the Bayesian system on your communication habits. Phase 2: IMAP Folder Configuration
Standard IMAP installations do not auto-scan incoming sub-folders by default. You must explicitly direct SpamBully to look at them:
Open Configurations: Locate the newly added SpamBully menu toolbar inside Outlook and select Configure.
Access Folder Settings: Click on Check Folders or Set Folders within the configuration menu.
Map the IMAP Inboxes: Click the option to add or modify folders. Expand your target IMAP mail account tree, select the remote Inbox (and any other folders you want continuously monitored), and check the box to Check automatically on each mail check.
Save and Synchronize: Click OK to apply changes. Click the Scan Folder button on your main toolbar to run an explicit first-pass filter across your active IMAP server directories. Phase 3: Optimizing IMAP Performance Spam Bully Help – Install
