I could have sworn that modern versions of Outlook could do Bayesian spam filtering

But looking at a customer's copy of Outlook 2013, apparently not? It seems to only have the 'junk filtering' of old being the useless "block by sender" option.

Can someone with a newer copy of Outlook please confirm?

No, it relies on the server to do it. You can get add-ins that will do it.

This is the first result in a search, no idea if it is any good.

I thought spam filtering took place server-side, not client side. I've never encountered a client handling spam. Forcing a client to handle spam defeats one of the purposes of filter, which is to not let it out the POP/IMAP server.

Not really. At the end of the day, most junk filtering services/features present the list of e-mails considered to be junk to the user so they can have the final say. To do otherwise means that e-mails (potentially wanted ones) are simply never arriving as far as the user is concerned.

Thunderbird has a junk mail filter. I've also come across Mailwasher (plus one other such app I can't remember the name of) which plugs into popular mail clients. Sylpheed apparently has one too.
