A note to whoever the FAQ maintainer(s): could steps 3 - 7
be moved after the steps currently numbered 8 - 14? The current step 12 could
then include an instruction to write down the POP3 server name before
overwriting it, and the current step 4 could make reference to the recorded
value. The result would be something like:
- Download the latest version of SpamBayes from the download
page.
- Run the installer - you want "sb_server", not the Outlook plug-in.
- Open Outlook Express.
- From the "Tools" menu, choose "Accounts".
- Select your mail account and click "Properties".
- Click the "Servers" tab.
- Write down the contents of
in the "incoming mail server" field (this is the name of your POP3 server), then
change the name to "localhost" (no quotes).
- Click "OK".
- Click "Close".
- Open the SpamBayes configuration page at http://localhost:8880/config (you can
do this via the tray application, or just type that address into your
browser).
- Enter your POP3 server's name (which
you wrote down in step 7) in the top box ("Remote Servers").
- Enter "110" (no quotes) in the second box ("SpamBayes ports").
- Tick the "unsure" and "spam" boxes in the "Notate to" option, about
halfway down the page.
- Click the "Save configuration" button at the end of the
page.
I am a true computer neophyte
and I tried to set up SpamBayes, but I do not know how to change my mail
client to connect to localhost instead of directly to my mail server.
How do I do this?
