Because I am using pop3proxy on a Linux machine to Kmail, I don't have the
option that you mention. Additionally, when SB misses mail in my setup I
have to search through headers and then cut and paste the e-mails into the SB
web GUI. This is really a pain the neck.
I think that Tim Peters response to this thread however give a hint at a
possible solution. Unfortunately, there are no options for "Processing start
delay" or "Delay between processing items" in the pop3proxy GUI.
If one of the SB developers could give me a hint about where to invoke these
options with my setup (pop3proxy - Kmail) I would be happy to alter the code
and test it on my system.

I have high hopes for SpamBayes and also would like to thank all those putting
in the effort.
