    Jan> This are the instruction I followed:
    Jan> 4.21   How do I set up SpamBayes and Outlook Express?
    Jan> 1.      Download the latest version of SpamBayes from the download page.

    Jan> 2.      Run the installer - you want "sb_server", not the Outlook plug-in.

    Jan> 3.      Open Outlook Express.

    Jan> 4.      From the "Tools" menu, choose "Accounts".

    Jan> 5.      Select your mail account and click "Properties".

    Jan> 6.      Click the "Servers" tab.

    Jan> 7.      Make a note of what you currently have in the "incoming mail server" 
    Jan> entry (the name of your POP3 server).

    Jan> 8.      Change the "incoming mail server" from the name of your POP3 server 
    Jan> to "localhost" (no quotes).

    Jan> 9.      Click "OK".

    Jan> 10.  Click "Close".

    Jan> 11.  Open the SpamBayes configuration page at http://localhost:8880/config 
    Jan> (you can do this via the tray application, or just type that address into 
    Jan> your browser).

    Jan> 12.  Enter your POP3 server's name in the top box ("Remote Servers"). This 
    Jan> is what you wrote down in step 7.

    Jan> 13.  Enter "110" (no quotes) in the second box ("SpamBayes ports").

    Jan> 14.  Tick the "unsure" and "spam" boxes in the "Notate to" option, about 
    Jan> halfway down the page.

    Jan> 15.  Click the "Save configuration" button at the end of the page.

Jan,  Give this URL a try:

    http://localhost:8880/

(that is, without the "config").

Can someone else help out Jan, hopefully someone who uses the POP3 proxy on
Windows?  I don't use Windows and don't know quite how the POP3 proxy is
launched there.
