Every time I start up MWP, I get a popup box saying something about "rebuilding the training archive".

How do I stop it doing this? It only takes a second or something but it's an irritant.

I've had it happen once and it sure would be a PITA if it happened every time. For some reason MWP thinks that the Learning Spam Tool corpus (Training.dat) is corrupted and is rebuilding it. Can you think of any process (other than MWP) that might be affecting the Training.dat file? A backup utility perhaps? Actually, are you even using the Learning Spam Tool?

I don't know for sure how to solve it, but I just installed MW on a friend's XP machine...and the message came up each time until I acutally entered something into the training archives (both junk and legit). My guess is that the program sees empty files and tries a reconstruction.

Try adding something to the training and see if the annoyance goes away.

I'd suspect something with file corruption too, possibly done by an antivirus program messing with the conversion to the encrypted files.

The quick fix is to delete the 3 traning... files from the data directory (help - about - link at bottom of box) but you'll have to retrain then.

I will try the training thing - I have never used it at all before - and see if this stops it nagging.

If that fails I'll go for the deletion route.

Thanks for your ideas.

[b]MarkyMarkD:[b/] Close Mailwasher and delete the "Training" files; this should stop the "building" delays and reset Mailwasher to more sensible behavior.

Just my $0.02.
