Sounds like it isn't proxying, then.  When you start the proxy, do you
get something like:
"""
SpamBayes POP3 Proxy Beta1, version 0.1 (May 2003),
using SpamBayes POP3 Proxy Web Interface Alpha2, version 0.02
and engine SpamBayes Beta2, version 0.2 (July 2003).

Loading database...Done.
Listener on port 110 is proxying pop.ihug.co.nz:110
User interface url is http://localhost:8880/
"""

Do you maybe have something else using port 110?  Try running the proxy
on a different port (1110, for example), and seeing if that works.
