![]() ![]() I’ll stick with Apple Mail for now and look for other options. Postbox - per your list, current version are not compatible with SpamSieveĪside from Apple Mail, the only options for the current OS that work with SpamSieve are AirMail and Outlook, both of which are rental software. Gyzaamail is not compatible with the current OS (per their website) Mailsmith claims is it no longer developed. Powermail you list as only compatible with POP accounts. Here is further information about the problems I encounter: PROBLEMS: Catching good emails sent from an online registration I use for my business and putting them in junk folder. Current version also requires a subscription. Over the past 3-4 weeks I have been encountering a problem with SpamSieve catching good email in my Junk folder. Outlook is part of Office, which I’d rather not get involved with. Unfortunately, that takes Airmail out of consideration for me. To your point, that’s probably because there is not one-time purchase desktop version. Their website seemed to indicate that a one -time purchase for the desktop app was available for “Airmail for Business”, but I can’t seem to find it. Airmail is rental, a concept that I am opposed to. Until a stable release version is published, I count Mailmate as “not-compatible.” It may be something to consider in the future (Although it could be argued that Apple Mail is currently little better than beta sofware). I’d rather not trust my business email to beta software. ![]() ![]() Maiilmate’s site states: “Although the public release above does work on Big Sur (macOS 11), it is currently recommended to use the latest test release of MailMate instead.” Has anyone come across this issue? Is it possible SpamSieve has something to do with it? It there a way to totally disable SS and test without losing training data? I see that I can uninstall from SS itself, but am not sure if that will delete all the training data. However, SS still starts up when I start Mail. SpamSieve is a powerful Bayesian-based spam filter for filtering out the vast volumes of email space that plague users. I have disabled SS in the preference menu, but the problem in Mail persists. The reason for this is because many email services, like Gmail, have their own very good spam filters, so this option is left up to the Airmail user. SpamSieve is the only plug-in/alteration I have for Mail. Problem persists through app and system restarts. The dropdown function does not work to show other options. I can still “move” and “flag” a message from the toolbar, using whatever value is already there. Recently, both dropdowns stopped working. (Even if the setup initially worked, it can become incorrect over time due to file corruption or iCloud syncing problems. One for “move” and one for the “flag” option. If you notice a sudden drop in the filtering accuracy, this is usually because of a problem in your mail program’s setup, not because a new type of spam message is evading SpamSieve. The problem seems to have started around the time of a recent SpamSieve update. I’ve recently started seeing a new problem with the toolbar. And those two keyboard shortcuts-Train as Good and Train as Spam-become second nature.Apple Mail has been giving me trouble ever since Big Sur. This app works so well that, over time, you almost forget about it. SpamSieve launches in the background when you open your email app, and you can control its main features-telling the app that given messages are spam or good email-from the keyboard, or from a menu. In fact, there is no SpamSieve window, only some settings dialogs that you can display in Mail, for example, by choosing Message > SpamSieve – Open Window. SpamSieve has blocked more than 19,000 spam emails, with 99.4 percent accuracy.Īfter you install SpamSieve-which works with Apple Mail, Outlook, Airmail, Postbox, and many other email clients-you don’t ever see the app. I still get some spam in my inbox, but no more than a couple of messages a day. SpamSieve has a whitelist of your contacts and people you have sent email to, a blacklist that automatically blocks email from senders you’ve flagged, and its Bayesian analysis makes it incredibly accurate. The SpamSieve window is a low-key dialog that lets you access preferences, a log, statistics, and more. Here are my SpamSieve statistics, since the last time I did a clean install on my Mac, about a year and a half ago: However, if spam gets through, you just select one or more messages and press a keyboard shortcut to tell SpamSieve that they are spam the app learns from that too. If you get lots of emails that contain certain words, SpamSieve learns that these are normal, and sends them to your inbox. Unlike the brute-force filters on servers, SpamSieve learns from your email. SpamSieve has been around since 2002 and is hands down the best spam filtering software for Mac. Years ago I decided that I prefer using software on my Mac to filter spam. ![]()
