Follow these steps:

   1. Open the SpamBayes configuration page at http://localhost:8880/config
(you can do this via the tray application, or just type that address into
your browser).
   2. Enter your POP3 server's name in the top box ("Remote Servers").
   3. Enter "110" (no quotes) in the second box ("SpamBayes ports").
   4. Tick the "unsure" and "spam" boxes in the "Notate to" option, about
halfway down the page.
   5. Click the "Save configuration" button at the end of the page.
   6. Open Outlook Express.
   7. From the "Tools" menu, choose "Accounts".
   8. Select your mail account and click "Properties".
   9. Click the "Servers" tab.
  10. Change the "incoming mail server" from the name of your POP3 server to
"localhost" (no quotes).
  11. Click "OK".
  12. Click "Close".

Everything should now be setup. Try doing a send/receive - mail should
arrive as normal, but any mail that SpamBayes is unsure about will have
'unsure,' (1.0.x) or 'unsure at spambayes.invalid' (1.1.x) in the recipient
list, and any mail that SpamBayes thinks is spam will have 'spam,' (1.0.x)
or 'spam at spambayes.invalid' (1.1.x) in the recipient list. You can use
Outlook Express's Rules Wizard to create rules that automatically move these
messages to other folders (we can give you instructions for doing that,
too).

If you get stuck anywhere, please let us know, and we'll try to explain
further.
