#238 ERROR: 'There was an error initializing the SpamBayes addin
After opening Outlook I received the following error:
'There was an error initializing the SpamBayes addin.
Please re-start Outlook and try again.'
The log-file contains the following detailed informations:
Error connecting to Outlook!
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "out1.pyz/addin", line 1053, in OnConnection

ERROR: 'There was an error initializing the SpamBayes
addin\r\n\r\nPlease re-start Outlook and try again.'
WORKAROUND:
As I found that the character 0xf6 (representing "ö", a
german umlaut) is part of my Outlook profile name, I
copied the profile to a name without the umlaut and
than i could start Outlook successfully !

Thanks! This is a known issue and will be fixed in the next
release.
For the moment, the workaround is exactly as you described...
