![]() This is the most advanced piece of consumer mobile electronics tech available today. You’re not just completely out of touch with the state of the tech landscape today. If the new iPad isn’t a “beefy” enough upgrade for you, you’re not just spoiled. Simply setting up a blocklist wouldn’t do that, I don’t think. No one is even close to making a tablet as fast, as beautiful, as vivid, as thin or as long-lasting as this, and if history is any guide, when the fourth-generation iPad comes out, they’ll still be trying to catch up. My end goal is to dump these specific messages into the trash, not my spam folder, because they are guaranteed spam and I don’t want to review them later. The new iPad, with its Retina Display and LTE technology, is unlike anything else on the market. Any other recommendations to use with mail.app or tips to improve spamsieve MacDawg Moderator emeritus. In the last year, Android makers haven’t even been able to ship a viable competitor to the iPad 2. The flying car of tablets, one supposes: they called the new iPad an “incremental update” when what Apple had just handed them may as well have come spiraling through a time vortex from the future. Why they were disappointed is inexplicable what they envisioned is hard to imagine. It’s free and it works great, easily 99.5%+ accurate.When Apple first announced the new third-generation iPad, there were people - and, I suppose, still are people - who were disappointed. Likewise, for the very rare spam that gets through to my Inbox, I just click a button “Delete as Spam” that teaches the add-in about something new. I press a “Recover from Spam” button and SpamBayes moves it to my Inbox. I look through the junk folder every month or so for things that have been misfiled – often two or three corporate mailing list things will wind up there. ![]() The configuration isn’t difficult, but you need to be 100 accurate and double check your work or nothing gets filtered. It sounds like it works just like SpamSieve. With SpamSieve now working, and trashing messages, in a good way, is it worth it It’s not an expensive app, nor is it a subscription, so that’s points in its favor. It’s brilliant enough that I’ve never bothered to get an update for it. I am sure there must be an equivalent for Windows, but this is the one to cure spam on the Mac.įor a SpamSieve-like program for Windows, I’ve been using SpamBayes (with Outlook on Windows XP) for the last three years. As it is I can happily live with it removing 99+%. Without that temporary lapse, I think SpamSieve would filter out 100% of the correct spam. I think the 99% batting average of my SpamSieve would be 1% better if it weren’t for two factors: 1) Because of product reviews my mail is more spamish than most, and 2) in the last 6 months spammers started sending image spam (the text is a picture) which as taken SpamSieve a while to figure out. For all that nothing I get a squeaky clean in box with a rare spam intruder. That’s it! SpamSieve also knows my friends from my address book, and it can be told about specific address or domains in hundreds of direct ways if you care to, but mostly I simply do nothing. Then about twice a month I go through my Junk Mail box and pluck out two or three “goods” that got through with a single keystroke that again admonishes SpanSieve of their proper state. ![]() I needed only a few minutes fiddling to get it up and running, and thereafter, I merely delete the occasional stray spam with a keystroke that simultaneously scolds SpamSieve about its correct nature and sends it to the dump. Like many of the best spam filters SpamSieve uses Bayesian tricks to learn from your in-box what kind of mail you approve of and what you hate. I’ve used some good spam filters before but they didn’t learn fast enough, or needed too much attention to keep on top of their game. ![]() My wife, who has a Mac at work, was complaining about her spam load, and I realized, “oh my gosh, you mean you don’t know about SpamSieve?” I don’t have to open the app it somehow sits quietly behind most email programs. SpamSieve is so invisible and maintenance free that I’ve just about forgotten about it - despite the fact that my email has been widely posted on the web for 10 years. I deleted everything, downloaded again and followed the same procedure with the same result. I have dropped the program icon into applications, clicked to place it in the dock, followed the instructions for setting up Apple Mail spam mailbox, closed that program and double clicked on the Spam Sieve icon in the dock. I have been using it for almost three years now and its statistics show that over that time it was 99% accurate. Hi, Spam Sieve won’t launch from the dock for me. ![]() SpamSieve is the best spam filter for the Mac. ![]()
