If you have previously used SpamSieve with Apple Mail but are now using a different mail client, you can choose Uninstall Apple Mail Plug-In… from the SpamSieve menu in order to prevent SpamSieve from reminding you to enable the Mail plug-in. However, most users will find it easier to let SpamSieve manage the rule(s) for them. you see the SpamSieve menu commands in Mail’s Message menu). If you want to fully prevent messages from being moved to the spam mailbox, you can manually deactivate (uncheck) the SpamSieve rule(s) in Mail’s preferences until you know that the plug-in is loaded (i.e. If you end up with some good messages in the spam mailbox that are uncolored (because Mail moved them without consulting SpamSieve), you can just drag them back to your inbox. because Mail downloaded them while SpamSieve was launching or because you declined when SpamSieve requested access to control Mail. Once you’ve enabled the plug-in, it reactivates the rule(s) for you.įor completeness, we mention that there is a chance that Mail will move some messages before SpamSieve can deactivate the rule(s), e.g. SpamSieve now protects you from this by automatically deactivating the rules if it notices that the plug-in is disabled. When SpamSieve’s plug-in is not enabled, the SpamSieve rule(s) in Mail cannot function properly and may move new good messages to the spam mailbox without consulting SpamSieve. On macOS 10.14, it is possible for an Apple Mail plug-in to be installed but not yet enabled. For the smoothest experience, we recommend updating to SpamSieve 2.9.33 before you update your Mac to macOS 10.14. SpamSieve does a better of job of guiding you through the Mojave security changes to make setup as easy as possible. Streamlined the flow of using SpamSieve with Apple Mail on macOS 10.14. This is a free update that includes the following changes: It does not need access to your mail account login and does not transmit your mail data anywhere. SpamSieve running on your Mac can keep the spam off your iPhone/iPad, and you can even train SpamSieve from your iOS device. It’s quick and easy to control SpamSieve from within Apple Mail, Airmail, Entourage, MailMate, Mailsmith, Outlook, Postbox 5, PowerMail, and more. SpamSieve learns and adapts to your mail, so it’s able to block nearly all the junk-without putting good messages in the spam mailbox. SpamSieve gives you back your inbox, using Bayesian spam filtering to provide amazing accuracy that’s constantly improving. Save time by adding powerful spam filtering to the e-mail client on your Mac. And after just a couple of days of use, it’s nearly transparent to the user.Version 2.9.33 of SpamSieve is now available. (To work with the program’s address lists and rules or its corpus-the collection of words the Bayesian filter uses to identify spam-you will need to switch to the SpamSieve application.) SpamSieve is easily trained, and if you want to go beyond the basics and configure your own filters or edit your black- and whitelists, it allows you to do so without a lot of bother. I like the fact that SpamSieve mostly works within my e-mail client so I rarely need to muck with a separate application or risk losing e-mail in transit between a spam utility and my e-mail software. It also supports both POP and IMAP e-mail accounts. If you’ve got a few hundred spam and good messages archived in your e-mail client, this helps SpamSieve become acceptably accurate within a matter of minutes rather than the days it can take to train other programs. Unlike other spam utilities I’ve used, SpamSieve lets you train it with groups of selected spam and good e-mail. SpamSieve looks for this header entry and gives messages that include it favorable treatment. Members of the Habeas Safelist can then embed their membership in the headers of e-mail messages they send. This is a service that requires members to pass a rigorous audit of “best practices” to ensure that their services aren’t used for spamming. SpamSieve employs a form of Bayesian filtering and can use the Habeas Safelist. You can add, subtract, and edit entries in these lists as well as create rules within them. Entries in your Mail, Eudora, or Entourage address book are automatically entered in the whitelist, as are the contacts for mail you accept. It has a blacklist (called a blocklist in the program) as well as a whitelist-mark a message as spam and the sender is sent to the blocklist. Like other spam utilities, SpamSieve uses a variety of techniques for sorting the good mail from bad.
