Outlook Express and Outlook process mail in entirely different ways. Although the same core SpamBayes classification engine is used, different SpamBayes applications are needed to get access to the incoming mail and provide training and configuration.
 
It is possible to configure both of the SpamBayes applications to use the same training database, but this is not necessarily a good idea. The Outlook Addin and the POP3 or IMAP applications for Outlook Express have slightly different views of the incoming mail which will have an effect on the spam clues that are generated by each. This could potentially have a negative impact on your accuracy. You would also need to make sure that you never run both SpamBayes applications at the same time because it can cause your training data to become corrupted if two applications try to update the same database file at the same time.

Subject: [spambayes-dev] Spambayes single installation for multiple mailclients

Question: Is there a way to install a single instance of Spambayes and have it work with 2 mail clients installed on the same computer? I.e. Outlook Express v2003 (Corporate email) client and Outlook 2003 (Personal email) clients. Thanks in advance for your time and efforts on my behalf.
