And those two keyboard shortcuts-Train as Good and Train as Spam-become second nature. This app works so well that, over time, you almost forget about it. SpamSieve launches in the background when you open your email app, and you can control its main features-telling the app that given messages are spam or good email-from the keyboard, or from a menu.

However, if you don’t see the SpamSieve commands in Apple Mail’s Message menu, be sure to choose Install Apple Mail Plug-In from the SpamSieve menu and to enable the plug-in.

SpamSieve 2.9.49 should automatically update the installed version of its Apple Mail plug-in, and the plug-in should stay enabled.

I still get some spam in my inbox, but no more than a couple of messages a day. SpamSieve has a whitelist of your contacts and people you have sent email to, a blacklist that automatically blocks email from senders you’ve flagged, and its Bayesian analysis makes it incredibly accurate. The SpamSieve window is a low-key dialog that lets you access preferences, a log, statistics, and more. Here are my SpamSieve statistics, since the last time I did a clean install on my Mac, about a year and a half ago: However, if spam gets through, you just select one or more messages and press a keyboard shortcut to tell SpamSieve that they are spam the app learns from that too. If you get lots of emails that contain certain words, SpamSieve learns that these are normal, and sends them to your inbox.

Unlike the brute-force filters on servers, SpamSieve learns from your email.

SpamSieve has been around since 2002 and is hands down the best spam filtering software for Mac. Years ago I decided that I prefer using software on my Mac to filter spam.
