212 Spam foldering and the Symantec Outlook Spam Plug-in
Installing the Symantec Outlook Spam Plug-in
Software requirements
The Symantec Outlook Spam Plug-in can be used with Outlook 2000, Outlook
2002, Outlook XP, and Outlook 2003, on Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows
NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows 2003.
Note: If you are using Symantec Spam Folder Agent for Exchange, the plug-in
retrieves the name of the spam folder from the Symantec Spam Folder Agent for
Exchange Inbox Rule. Absent the Symantec Spam Folder Agent for Exchange,
the plug-in retrieves the
SPAM_FOLDER
value from the Windows registry. If there
is no
SPAM_FOLDER
value in the Windows registry, it creates a Spam folder
during installation.
