[Spambayes] Outlook Express setup problem

Howdy guys-

I'm having some difficulty setting up SpamBayes with Outlook Express.

SpamBayes is installed and configured according to instructions with 
"mail.comcast.net" in the very first field.

I followed the instructions on FAQ 4.21 but I think I am getting hung up at 
step #12.

When I go TOOLS>ACCOUNTS>PROPERTIES>SERVERS

I see the following (text inside quotes is editable field)

SERVER INFORMATION
My incoming mail server is a "POP3" server.
Incoming mail (POP3): "Mail.comcast.net"
Outgoing mail (SMTP): "smtp.comcast.net"

INCOMING MAIL SERVER
Account name: "rowski"
Password: "*********""

I assume from the instructions in step 12 that I am to replace 
"mail.comcast.net" with "localhost"

Good so far?

When I do this and try to check mail, I get a window:

Window header = Logon - mail.comcast.net
Please enter your user name and password for the following server.
Logon
Server: localhost
User Name: "rowski"
Password: "********"

Reentering user name and password and clicking OK just brings back same 
window.

Can someone please get me back on track?

Thanks for your help.
