Summary: Configuring multiple POP3 accounts

Initial Comment:
I am using SpamBayes POP3 Proxy Version 1.0.4 (March 
2005) (binary), with version 2.3.5 (#62, Feb  8 2005, 
16:23:02) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)] of Python; my 
operating system is Windows 5.1.2600.2 (Service Pack 
2).  I have trained 0 ham and 0 spam, so far.

The problem I am having is configuring for Mozilla 
Thunderbird through which I monitor three POP3 email 
addresses.  All three use the same incoming port 
(110) and the same outgoing port (25), but for three 
servers, the configuration demands that all ports are 
unique.  I could use some help.  Thanx

Say your three servers are example.com, example2.com and
example3.com, all on port 110.  What you need to do is:

  1.  Tell SpamBayes to proxy these three servers.  Put all
three, "example.com,example2.com,example3.com", in the
"remote servers" section of the SpamBayes configuration.

  2.  Tell SpamBayes to proxy these three servers on local
ports - you can choose whatever ones you like (and aren't
used by anything else on the local machine).  For example,
put "8110,8111,8112" in the "local ports" section of the
SpamBayes configuration.

  3.  Tell Thunderbird that it needs to look at the local
machine, on ports 8110, 8111, and 8112, for mail.  I don't
have a copy of Thunderbird handy, but I'm sure you can find
the configuration where you change the server from
"example.com" to "localhost" (etc) and the port from "110"
to "8110" (etc).

Unless you're really positive you need it, don't bother with
the SMTP (outgoing) proxy.
