I then have to go in to the Trash to select all the colored, “unread” spam and delete. The rest of the emails in the ‘SpamSieve’ folder change to whatever color relates to their degree of spaminess (which is fine). ![]() When I “Apply Rules”, the spammiest emails go to the Trash marked as unread but now colored blue or gray. These emails show up as unread and uncolored. These are obviously messages that SpamSieve is catching. I also have to manually “Apply Rules” to spam messages that show up in my ‘SpamSieve’ folder. When I “Apply Rules” they go to the Trash marked as unread but now colored. I believe these are server side messages that bypass SpamSieve because they’re not going to the SpamSieve folder. Ĭurrently, I have to manually “Apply Rules” to spam messages that show up in my ‘Spam’ folder locally. I have 4 scripts set up in this order: Server Junk Mailbox SpamSieve, SpamSieve, SpamSieve, SpamSieve. Michael, first off thank you for your timely replies - your customer support is very much appreciated. As it is now, SpamSieve does a great job but I still have to go through a number of steps just to delete the stuff. In a nutshell, I would like all spam, whether filtered through the server as spam or caught by SpamSieve, to be recognized by Blue and Gray spaminess and automatically sent to the Trash for instant removal. To have them treated like all the other spam and sent to the SpamSieve folder where they should consequently be treated by Spaminess and sent automatically to the Trash. What is your goal with respect to the spam messages caught by the server filter? This only happens if I select all the messages in the SpamSieve folder and choose ‘Apply Rules’. I’ve gone back through the rules and set up that Blue and Gray messages should go directly to the Trash. I understand that nothing is 100% but this is one way, though it would be a tedious way, of guaranteeing 100% of those specifically ruled messages were spam.Ī blocklisted message should go to the Spam mailbox and be assigned the most spammy color (blue). Despite the great job that SpamSieve does, with this feature I could guarantee that I never have to deal with those messages again in any way regardless of spaminess or any other factor. It would be nice to have an option such that I can dictate, for example, that "Every Message that contains ‘xyz’ in the Subject is immediately sent to the trash. There is no such thing as 100%, but there are ways you can separate out the most spammy messages and even make them go directly to the trash. I have gone through the FAQs, I just don’t think I’m grasping the best way to set things up so any help is greatly appreciated. I read about turning off spam filtering on the server but would that then open up the flood gates and pour loads more spam into my email? I understand that SpamSieve is designed to handle this, I just don’t know the best way to manage the software. I also get spam that shows up server side. I started blocklisting spam messages by Subject but for one, it didn’t seem to make a difference and for two, I read that I shouldn’t have to do that. How do I set things up so that messages that are 100% unquestionably spam go directly to the trash? I don’t mind reviewing a smaller list of maybes, I just don’t want to have to go through the hundreds I get throughout the day. SpamSieve has been great, capturing the vast majority and putting it in the ‘SpamSieve’ folder I created ‘On My Mac’ but I still have to go through it all to make sure a good message didn’t sneak in there and this is very frustrating and time consuming. It requires me to carefully scour my junk folder constantly - rendering the whole point of junk filtering moot.I get an insane amount of spam every day. This has driven me nuts for years and I'm finally sick enough of it to post a question here. Junk filtering is enabled, "trust junk headers in messages" is disabled. So it's not a GMail or 3rd party server thing. This happens with many accounts coming into Mail, including multiple GMail accounts, multiple accounts using my own personal domain, and my Apple-issued me.com account. I have to manually move them to my inbox every time. I can mark them as junk if I want and they highlight in brown as they should, but of course they're not junk so. They cannot be marked as "Not Junk" because Mail already thinks they aren't junk, despite moving them to the junk folder. Mail does not think they are junk mail, does not highlight them in brown, etc. ![]() These emails are not marked as Junk, i.e. I consistently have various emails coming into Apple Mail, that get moved to the junk folder. I've had this problem for years, all the way back to Lion at least.
