Say your three servers are example.com, example2.com and  
example3.com, all on port 110.  What you need to do is:

   1.  Tell SpamBayes to proxy these three servers.  Put all three,  
"example.com,example2.com,example3.com", in the "remote servers"  
section of the SpamBayes configuration.

   2.  Tell SpamBayes to proxy these three servers on local ports -  
you can choose whatever ones you like (and aren't used by anything  
else on the local machine).  For example, put "8110,8111,8112" in the  
"local ports" section of the SpamBayes configuration.

   3.  Tell Thunderbird that it needs to look at the local machine,  
on ports 8110, 8111, and 8112, for mail.  I don't have a copy of  
Thunderbird handy, but I'm sure you can find the configuration where  
you change the server from "example.com" to "localhost" (etc) and the  
port from "110" to "8110" (etc).

Unless you're really positive you need it, don't bother with the SMTP  
(outgoing) proxy.
