Assuming you used the same installer, you should have a SpamBayes tray icon
(the tray is the collection of icons next to the clock in the taskbar).  If
you double-click that (or right-click and select "Review Messages...") then
the review page will open up, from where you do your training.

You can use that box to do training in bulk if you like (from either OE dbx
files or mbox files), but it's not needed or recommended).

There isn't a plug-in for Thunderbird, so you don't get the same integrated
experience.  There aren't any SpamBayes icons in Thunderbird, for example,
and you'll have to create the new folders you want yourself.  However, the
results are the same, and the web interface should be simple to use (many
people do use it).  If you have any problems or suggestions, please let us
know!
