[Spambayes] Secure access still not working

    Luke> POP server for windows live is pop3.live.com and port is 995.

One of the denizens of the fetchmail-users mailing list suggested stunnel.
It can do the secure port 995 connection and listen on local port 110.  Your
SpamBayes setup can thus operate 100% locally.  Here are a couple links:

This is likely to be much more reliable.  Let us know how it works for you.
