[Spambayes] SpamBayes and Thunderbird, server and username (followup)

I got it working, set the server to "localhost", set username to 
"username" and it works.

Here's something I ran into.  I've got 3 email addresses I get with 
Thunderbird (Mozilla).  Each one has a Server, Port, and Username.  2 of 
them have the same "username".  Thunderbird won't let me set the server 
for those both to "localhost", I had to set one to "127.0.0.1".  I've 
got each looking at a different port, 110, 115, and 120.  Popfile 
handled this by making the usernames "mail.server.com:username", that 
would eliminate this problem, making all the usernames truly unique for 
the localhost server.

##### previous message #####
I just installed SpamBayes to use with Thunderbird.  I've been using
Popfile successfully.  I set the server to "localhost".  The username
has been set to "mail.server.net:username" (no quotes) for Popfile.
This isn't working for SpamBayes, or at least I can't get it to work,
there is a problem with my password authentication, it won't.  I can't
find anything on this "subject", searched the archives back 5 months.

I also use AVG 7 for my anti-virus.  Windows XP.
spambayes-1.0.4.exe is what I installed.

Thanks,
Monte
