The connection type shouldn't matter.  By any chance, is the virgin account
connecting via SSL?  (In the mail program there will be a ticked box or
something similar, and the port will probably be 995 rather than 110.  If
that's the case, then this isn't good, as SpamBayes doesn't yet support POP3
over SSL.

Otherwise, could you run sb_server with the "-v" flag (for verbose output)
and send us a copy of the _pop3proxy.log file that it creates?  (In the same
directory as sb_server.py, I think - if you're using the binary version I'm
not sure where it appears).  Open it first and get rid of any specifics like
the username and password (replace them with x's or something).
