The default Spambayes port is 8110, so the client should have
"localhost:8110" for its incoming server settings.

Let me clarify --- my email provider is Comcast, not Windows
Hotmail. I am using Windows Live to retrieve it. Comcast’s pop3 is
mail.comcast.net and uses port 110.
That’s what I have configured in SpamBayes. In my Windows Live account
settings, I have adjusted the incoming server to localhost as noted in
the spambayes documentation (I left the incoming port at 110 – didn’t
see any info on what that should be for use with spambayes).
thank you

Mike,
Did you account for Windows Live not using the standard port 110?
Your incoming POP3 settings in Spambayes should be
pop3.live.com:995

Hello,
I installed and attempted to use spambayes on my Windows 7 machine,
64-bit, with Windows Live Mail. My mail is through Comcast, and
required authentication.
I could not get it to work at all. Windows Live continued to report
failure to connect to mail server (I did set the account’s pop3 to
localhost after configuring spambayes for this account).
I’m sure I was probably just doing something wrong in the
configuration but couldn’t find anything helpful in your FAQ’s.
thanks
