SpamSieve, aka the best 30 bucks you’ll ever spend on your Mac, has just been updated to version 2.8.3.
SpamSieve is an eMail client plug-in/application that provides powerful Bayesian spam filtering – much more accurate than the Junk Mail filters provided by most mail apps. It’s dirt-simple to install and control – and can be customized on how it interacts with the rest of your mail sorting rules. Actually, after you break it in for a day or so, there’s very little to do. It just works.
It works with most Mac OS X eMail clients, including Apple Mail, Entourage (v.X through 2008), Mozilla Thunderbird , Eudora 5.2 or later (Sponsored or Paid), GyazMail, Mailsmith, Emailer, and PowerMail. SpamSieve requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later.
SpamSieve 2.8.3 includes the following improvements and fixes:
- Adjusted SpamSieve’s tokenizer to improve the filtering accuracy.
- Made some changes to better support the upcoming Microsoft Outlook 2011. (Full support will come when Office ships.)
- Improved compatibility with pre-release versions of Apple Mail.
- MailForge now works with SpamSieve, as described in the Setting up MailForge section of the manual.
- Added various updates and clarifications to the manual.
- Fixed a regression where SpamSieve wouldn’t be able to install its Apple Mail plug-in if Mail’s folder had been redirected using an alias.
- Fixed a bug where SpamSieve would sometimes quit when coming out of trial mode.
- Fixed a bug where sometimes the Hits column in a rules window couldn’t be resized.
- Worked around an OS bug that could cause an internal error when reporting a corpus error.
- Made various modernizations to SpamSieve’s code and interface files.
- The Apple Mail plug-in now shows up with the proper name in Mail Plugin Manager.
- Updated the disk image layout.
A 30-day free trial is available.
