GoodLook is a simple, free Outlook plugin designed to work with Popfile, an excellent spam classification program. I wanted Outlook to only let me know when real (non-spam) new mail has arrived, and I wanted a faster way to correct Popfile's occasional classification errors. So I wrote GoodLook. GoodLook's purpose in life is two-fold:

1. Display an envelope in the system tray whenever there are unread emails in your Inbox (and ONLY in your Inbox, not when new spam shows up in your spam folder)

2. Provide a quick toolbar link to reclassify any highlighted message in Outlook that Popfile miscategorized

GoodLook is still in development, but I've been using it for some time now with success. I've only tested it using Outlook 2003 and XP, along with Popfile 0.22.2. I plan to add smarter reclassify buttons for each Popfile bucket as soon as the "Reclassify" XML-RPC function is added to a stable Popfile release.
