Still in trouble! Here's what I've done.
1) Right clicked on SB Icon Tray and chose "Configure".
2) In POP3 Proxy Options:
Remote Servers: filled in "pop3.lepton.neu.edu"
SpamBayes Ports: 110
SMTP Proxy Options: left blank
3) In Outlook Express, for the incoming POP3 mail server, replaced
"pop3.lepton.neu.edu" with "localhost".
When I then ask Outlook Express to "receive all", I get an error
message:
"The connection to the server has failed. Account: lepton.neu.edu.
Server: 'localhost' ."

In Outlook Express:
1. Select "Accounts" from the "Tools" menu.
2. Double-click the account you wish to change.
3. Click the "Servers" tab.
4. In the "Incoming mail server" section, change your ISP's mail server to
"localhost".

"localhost" is a special name that means the machine you are using. It's
the easiest way to refer to the local machine, but you can find out the
actual name if you like (Start->Run->cmd.exe, then type 'ipconfig' and press
enter).
