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
What's New
Version 2.9.1:
  • Added support for Microsoft Outlook 2011 SP 2 (a.k.a. 14.2.x). If SpamSieve can detect that you were using Outlook 2011 before, and that SP 2 has been installed, SpamSieve will auto-update its scripts automatically. Otherwise, you can choose Install Outlook Scripts from the SpamSieve menu. Either way, the SpamSieve rules in Outlook will continue to work without modification.
  • SpamSieve now tries to detect whether its Apple Mail plug-in is damaged and auto-heal the installed copy if necessary.
  • If there’s an error updating SpamSieve’s Apple Mail plug-in, it now reports more information to try to diagnose the problem.
  • If the Apple Mail plug-in detects that it’s damaged, it will alert the user to download and install a fresh copy.
  • SpamSieve now checksums the Outlook script files (both the installed and built-in copies) to detect whether they are damaged.
  • Made a change to eliminate a particular cause of false positives for some users.
  • SpamSieve no longer triggers Mac OS X’s “accept incoming network connections” firewall dialog.
  • Added some exception guards to work around bugs in the Growl SDK.
  • When an unexpected error occurs and no stack trace is available, SpamSieve will now try to report the approximate location.
  • Improved the What information should I include when I report a problem? section of the manual.

I am registered to SpamSieve since 2005 and have never looked any further. It's statistics shows me an accuracy of 99,3% correctly filtered spam, which is absolutely wow.
After 7 years of smooth integration in three email-clients I cannot speak good enough about this world-class supported app and it's developer, who supported me with countless free updates and improvements over all these years and was instantly there, when I had a question once. I seldom got so much for my money.
What I simply love about SpamSieve is that it can notifiy me about new mail, which means, that I can only notice new "good" mail. So often I sat here and my email clients showed me new messages and I switched to them only to find that it was just spam. Very annoying and no issue anymore when Spam Sieve takes over.
Thank you Mr. Tsai!

Easy to deal with spam. But occasionally you still get a spam but it in general still very effective.

I liked the demo but did not buy it. The price is just too high.

SpamSieve does a wonderful job filtering out spam. Training is easy for those few messages that are mis-identified and it is easy to review spam to make sure no good messages got through.

The program is rock solid, support is first-rate and updates (for improved accuracy) come regularly.

My one minor complaint is that there is no contextual menu for marking a message as spam or not spam. Having to go the main menu for this (or having to memorize an obscure pair of accelerator keys) is a bit clumsy. But the accuracy rate is so high that it is no big deal.

OUCH! Not compatible with Mountain Lion preview.

How soon developer?

Great product! Recommend it to everyone. Very high accuracy rate! Saves a lot of time and unnecessary annoyance.

WordWiever... put it in your startup items so it loads before you open Mail. You shouldn't have any problems then with ML.

Thanks for your reply Ronl, but I already deleted the Mountain Lion Preview and reinstalled Lion from scratch, because ML was too much of a pain in the butt. It broke too many things for my liking.

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.

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.
