Ok, so I saw outclass and installed it, because I thought it was something that it apparently isn't. What I thought it WAS was some sort of addition to popfile that would let me classify my emails directly through outlook, and that classication would then be registered in popfile. See, I access popfile from the outside as well so that my emails are prefiltered no matter where I look at my email.
However, from what I can tell (and please correct me if i'm just doing something wrong here) outclass does indeed classify and move emails using the corpus and magnets I already have setup in popfile, but it doesn't seem to reclassify the emails within popfile itself, only within my local installation of outlook.
This would be fine if I only accessed my email from one place, but I don't, so unless it's supposed to be changing the classifications in outlook and just isn't working correctly, I don't really think the software would do me any good.
Can anyone clear this up?
Thanks,
George

The only part of POPFile that I know about that might accomplish what I understand you to be suggesting is its IMAP service.
I don't know if this helps you.

Well it's not a big deal - I don't NEED to be able to classify from outlook... I just thought that's what popfile did. Like I say, if i only accessed my email in one place, this would be great.

The way Outclass works is it keeps track messages which otherwise POPFile normally does internally. Because of that the POPFile web interface has no idea what messages have been processed.
The documentation on the Outclass website says:
"If you do run POPFile simultaneously with Outclass, you may notice that word counts aren't updated as you classify messages. This is because Outclass invokes another instance of POPFile to perform its processing. For this reason, unless you know what you're doing, you really should avoid running the POPFile web server at the same time as Outclass."

are you useing outlook with exchange or with a pop server?
if you are useing it with exchange and you mail administrators are willing to let you connect to exchange via IMAP then you can use the popfile IMAP module to sort your mail between folders and then in outlook you can move messages between folders and popfile will update itself based on these moves
