Thanks Patrice, I just sent you a new dll - the last crash occured in a different place from the previous one. Again, looking forward to your test results.

Tech,
I found out the culprit of your crashes. Many thanks for your feedback as this problem will very likely affect many of our users. The problem is with the PST file itself. Some contacts have an invalid email address even though Outlook claims that these addresses are valid. I will be checking for this condition from now on. Such contacts are stored twice in the PST file: once with a valid email address and once without one. The addin sees all the entries but to you Outlook only shows the valid contacts so you will not notice the issue when going through your contact list. The fix will appear in the next beta or release version. If you are interested I can send you the dll that corrects this issue by email (let me know please)

Hi there,

Im currently in the trial version of AIS. I have the latest AIS update, and Outlook Express 6.

The antispam seems not working well.
It marks some mails with ***SPAM***, but it hasnt created any rule to send them on a different folder (i did manually)
And it doesnt have any button or option in right click to "mark as spam" or... "not spam" etc.

I tried some steps above with regsvr32 asoutext.dll etc, but nothing worked.

Any help appreciated.

Deorum,
the antispam consists of two modules:
1.the antispam core (generic)
2.the antispam toolbar (outlook only)
Outlook Express is a different product from Outlook - which is why you will not see the toolbar no matter what you do ...
The latter module is an enhancment which is meant to improve the performance of the first module by the mans to manually correct its spam/not spam decisions, automatically adding contact list addresses to whitelist, etc. If you do not use Outlook you can still specify the list of trusted/untrusted users manualy by going to Avast>Antispam&Blockers>Expert settings>Whitelist/Blacklist

Sure. I'll be glad to test and overwrite this dll.

Hi Tom,
After 3 days of tests, got two outlook crashes, when outlook starts
Attached is the current logfile (crashes are towards the end of the file). After a crash, I restart outlook and crash dose not occur again.

Many thanks for that one, would you mind trying yet another one please? Depending on the outcome of this one I might decide to further investigate the possible causes of your behaviour or trying a whole new approach altogether (whic will require further testing ...)
Cheers

Hi Tom,

Here is the log file after 4 crashes when opening outlook just 5 minutes ago.

Outlook still marks emails as ***SPAM*** even with the toolbar missing and the plugin disabled
k.u.r.t., please, follow this.

Two other crashes in this one

That is because the email was marked as spam by the mail shield (if you use outlook then it would have been done by ashOutXt.dll, otherwise it is done by ashMaiSv.dll)
The toolbar is a different dll that works on top of the two ...
