SPAMSIEVE IMAP MAC
SpamSieve does not run on iOS, but you can use it together with your Mac to filter mail on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Emailer, Eudora, Postbox, and Thunderbird provide SpamSieve with access only to parts of each e-mail message, so SpamSieve’s accuracy will be slightly reduced when using these mail programs, although it should still be much better than their built-in spam filters. If you use multiple mail programs at once, SpamSieve will share its training data and statistics among them. SpamSieve works roughly the same way with each mail program. However, SpamSieve does work with Postbox, which is an enhanced version of Thunderbird. Thunderbird 3 and later are not compatible with plug-ins for Thunderbird 2.x, and due to changes in Thunderbird it does not look like it will be possible to create a SpamSieve plug-in for newer versions of Thunderbird. Thunderbird 1.5.0.9 or 2.x from Mozilla.PowerMail 4.0 and later (6.x recommended) from CTM Development.Postbox 2.0 and later (not Postbox Express) from Postbox, Inc (non–Mac App Store version).Outlook Express 5.0 and later from Microsoft.Outlook from Microsoft Office 2011 and later.(By applying this workaround you can use SpamSieve with Mailsmith 2.1.5.) Mailsmith 2.3.1 and later from Stickshift Software.

SPAMSIEVE IMAP MAC OS X
Apple Mail from Mac OS X 10.4 and later.It is designed to work with the following e-mail programs: SpamSieve is a universal binary that runs natively on both PowerPC- and Intel-based Macs using Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.8. Here’s the site, in case you’re tired of spam to the tune of $30. I notice I already don’t really hear the Mail sound: my ears are attuned to the foghorn.Ī very few times SpamSieve has confessed that it’s unsure, but then I train it with a click (“good” or “spam”, depending on the message), and from then on it’s got it. That one sounds only if the mail includes “good” mail. SpamSieve also makes a “you have mail” sound, and that one I set to a low, brief foghorn. I set my Mail announcement of new mail to be the sound of a faint whistle. It’s a one-time $30 purchase, and well worth it.

It integrates extremely well with Mail, but it also works with other mail clients. An entire family of spam that completely escaped the OS X Mail spam filter, no matter how many times they came in and I clicked “Junk”, have been totally blocked by SpamSieve, some immediately, some after just a single “training” click to mark them as spam.
