SpamSieve gives you back your inbox by bringing powerful Bayesian spam filtering to popular e-mail clients.

It learns what your spam looks like, so it can block nearly all of it. It looks at your address book and learns what your good messages look like, so it won't confuse them with spam. Other spam filters get worse over time as spammers adapt to their rules; SpamSieve actually gets better over time as you train it with more messages. SpamSieve doesn't delete any messages--it only marks them in your e-mail client--so you'll never lose any mail. SpamSieve works with any

Recently, I completed the free trial! Wow, this app delivers! I wish I could afford it. After the "gawker incident", I'm being inundated with SPAM! This app is worth the asking price. That's for sure!

I've used SpamSieve for years. I consider it to be one of THE best values for the money in my long list of applications. It absolutely works. Updates are free. Tech support is fast and effective. You cannot find better value.

Just leave out a few cappuccinos, beers, pizzas, and SpamSieve will be covered in a month.

I did not say it wasn't worth the money. I believe it is. Of course the developers need to live. I didn't question the value of the app. I didn't say the developers shouldn't live. Also, I don't ingest cappuccinos, beers or pizza. I simply said I couldn't afford it. However, I felt compelled to leave them a positive star rating.

With a current accuracy rate of 98.2% on my 27" iMac running the old but still faithful Eudora 6.2.4, I have no complaints. SpamSieve was, and is, a worthy investment, a time saver, and cuts down on the annoyance and frustration from spam filling the in box. Well done!

Still no Thunderbird 3 or Eudora OSE support. :-( I guess there's no longer any hope for this. Which makes me a loser in the compatibility lottery - $30 down the tubes.

If only there was a version for the iOS. SpamSieve has spoiled me in a way that makes me miss it when I'm on my iPod Touch.

SpamSieve overwrites the native built in apple junk filter, in fact you have to uncheck it to run spamsieve app. Consequence: I now have to manually select all spam mails in the SpamSieve spam mailbox to delete them! Also: before i'd get a signal when I had a 'good' mail in my inbox, and no signal if it was spam. Now, after installing spamsieve, i get a signal also with junk, that I find tremendously annoying, having to listen to a mail sound 100s of times a day that does go off every time I have junk mail. I think I'll junk SpamSieve, soooo annoying! I am wondering why nobody has brought up this issue yet..

I don't think it's a big deal to, once a month or year, go to the Spam mailbox, Select All, and press Delete. However, there are also various ways to automatically delete spam messages. You can have SpamSieve move the spams to the trash or into Mail's Junk mailbox, both of which can be configured to delete older messages:

http://c-command.com/spamsieve/manual-ah/automatically-deleting

The SpamSieve manual recommends turning off Mail's "New messages" sound so that you aren't notified when new spam messages arrive:

http://c-command.com/spamsieve/manual-ah/apple-mail-customizatio

The Notification tab in SpamSieve's Preferences window offers various options for SpamSieve to notify you about new good messages:

Gronkowski commented on 01 Sep 2010
This has not been stated for a while on this "forum". For those people considering purchase of this software, please note that SpamSieve is not compatible with Mozilla Thunderbird 3 or later. The developer, on his web site, acknowledges this deficiency and indicates that the software will probably never be compatible with the current or future versions of Thunderbird. This is a major omission. Therefore, I can not give the application more than 2 stars.

I fail to see why you give it 2 stars for an app it clearly doesn't support. It should be rated for the email clients it does work for. That's like saying I didn't like this those BMW seats because they won't fit in my Acura.

Perhaps you should consider blaming the Mozilla programmers, who are apparently too incompetent to expose an API that would allow for third party junk mail filtering interoperability?

Remains the BEST spam filtering tool I've every tried. Very unobtrusive, yet quite accurate once you take just a few minutes to train it. ;-)

It works nearly perfectly for me with Apple Mail, filtering out spam with excellent accuracy (98.9% according to its own report, which seems perfectly reasonable). It has never caused me any stability issues and is updated frequently to improve accuracy. Updating is quick and easy. Support is excellent and the license is generous (one person or one computer per license).

I do wish it could be a bit more tightly integrated into Apple Mail, e.g. offer contextual menu items to mark and unmark mail as spam. However, that is a minor quibble and I expect is a limitation of Apple Mail, not SpamSieve.

One of my favorite pieces of software.

To set the record straight, my problem with the plugin not loading in Apple Mail under SpamSieve 2.7.7. has been fixed. It appears to have been associated with my use of Xslimmer, not with any fault in the plug-in. I should note that the developer responded to my inquiry in less than 15 minutes. Great program, great support.
