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.

Tsai added that Apple Support seems to be wrongly telling users that they can’t recover lost Mail data in Catalina from a Time Machine backup that was carried out via macOS Mojave. Since email data changes all the time, trying to restore backups and then merge them with messages received after the latest backup is a nightmare. He added that this was a particularly serious issue, because users might not know that something went wrong until they wanted to view one of these messages. Tsai continued: “If the message was moved to a server mailbox, other devices see the message as deleted.” Furthermore, syncing can spread the bug to other computers. ![]()
