If you have received mail, then it sounds like you haven't configured
Outlook Express to connect to your POP3 server via SpamBayes.  The
instructions in FAQ 4.21 might help:

This is a quirk of the 1.0.x series (it will be fixed in 1.1).
_pop3proxyham.mbox and _pop3proxyspam.mbox files will be created in the
'current working directory' if you use the "Train" box on the front of the
web interface (which you shouldn't need to do).  You can simply delete those
files.
