Since you're using Outlook Express, you must be using
the proxy server implementation of Spambayes. Your problem evidently stems from
the fact that the proxy server provides only a single thread between the POP3
server and the two users. Assuming that you don't mind if you and your wife
share a single Spambayes database, you can solve the problem by feeding the two
incoming mail streams into Spambyes (i.e., don't bother to differentiate your
mail from your wife's), then splitting the output of Spambayes using a second
proxy server. (I know it sounds kludgy, but it ought to work.) One proxy server
(there may be others) that will do that is VPOP3, an excellent and affordable
product of a software house in England. (Google will find you their Web site.)
With two proxy servers in series, you'll have to play some games with port
numbers, but VPOP3 is almost infinitely configurable, so that's not
hard to do.
I've never used the Spambayes proxy server, so I don't
know for a fact that you can easily make it get its input from two POP3
accounts. But if not, you can probably have your ISP throw all your mail (yours
and your wife's) into a single POP3 account. That won't inconvenience you,
because VPOP3 is going to split it up again anyway.
The point of all this is that you and your wife are no
longer competing for Spambayes's attention. It does its job in the background
without intervention from either user.
