If you've installed SpamBayes then you need to:

  1.  Configure SpamBayes (if you haven't already).  Specifically, you need
to enter in the address for your POP3 server and a port to locally proxy
this on.

  2.  In Mozilla, go to Edit->Mail and Newsgroups Account Settings, and
click on "Server Settings" underneath the account you want to proxy.  Change
the entry in "Server name" to "localhost" and the entry in "port" to
whatever port you selected above.

That should be all you need to do.  Mail should now go through the proxy and
have a "X-SpamBayes-Classification" header added to it, which you can filter
on.
