Probably I'm just being stupid. The .ini file doesn't have the POP3

That is correct.
How/where would I enter the email password in the pop3proxy? Is that
in email client (Thunderbird)- but that looks at localhost, and sends
a password there.
I also use Thunderbird, and that is exactly where the email password is
stored.
More stupidity- does that simply get passed on to the email POP3 server?
Yes. I use one linux Spambayes server for our entire domain, and no
user's password is stored in Spambayes. They remain with the email client.
Sorry for making a false alarm, if that's what I did.
Enjoy your Spambayes. I've found it to be an excellent bit of software.

That's the rub. Nothing related to the user interface has changed
in a long
while. I'd be surprised if any older version behaved differently.
I'm not the author of the POP3 proxy application, so it will
probably take
me awhile to figure out where it's even generating the password entry.
Skip
Looking at the Advanced Configuration page in 1.1b1, the only
password I can see is for access to the web UI.
This password does not have to be (and should not be) identical to
the user's email password.
Skip is correct when he says this has not changed recently. At the
very least, it has been this way since 1.04, circa 2005.
