Without a doubt, there's a little fiddling, but you can get SpamBayes to work with Outlook Express.

But what if you don't want to fiddle? Isn't there out Outlook Express spam solution? Turns out that there is. In fact, we found an ad for SpamBully when we did a Google search for "SpamBayes Outlook Express". Now, to be fair, we haven't tested SpamBully, but their Web site seems to indicate everyone loves them. The product's $29.95. Try it. Worse case, you'll be out thirty bucks.
