![]() ![]() When choosing the folder in the SpamSieve - Move Messages rule, be sure to choose the Junk E-mail folder on the server (not On My Computer).’ However, in the ‘Do the following’ section of the rule setup, the default choice is Junk E-mail (On My Computer) and I can’t find a ‘Choose Folder’ option for ‘Junk’ or ‘Spam’ from the Server. It says ‘If you have a single mail account, follow the normal SpamSieve setup procedure in the Setting Up Outlook section. All the other choices are on the computer. This can be configured by going to the Accounts section of Outlook’s preferences and clicking on Advanced… and then Folders.’ When doing this, the Junk section in the Folders tab has chosen Spam (Server) from the drop down. Your instructions say ‘Make sure that each of your accounts has its own Junk E-mail mailbox. But I’m running into two issues, as follows: Spam is still appearing on the other devices, so I think I need to set up Outlook Drone. Now I’m trying to solve for multiple email clients: iMac desktop, iPad and iPhone for the same IMAP account that’s set up on all three devices. In Energy Saver settings, I’ve checked every box including ‘Prevent computer from sleeping automatically when the display is off’, ‘Wake for network access’ and ‘Enable Power Nap’. I think I’ve solved for the ‘go to sleep’ problem. Also, make sure that you Mac isn’t set to go to sleep. You can adjust this via Tools > Run Schedule > Edit Schedules…. ![]() It’s just a matter of making sure Outlook is set to check for mail. There’s nothing special to do with SpamSieve. And I’ve been getting spam all day on my other devices.Īre there settings to adjust to assure that SpamSieve is faithfully working 24/7 on my behalf? And it still collected a few emails through 10:51am, but the next one in the Junk Email folder is at 7:22pm. The whole reason for SpamSieve is so I DON’T have to delete emails all day long on any device, right?įor example, my Junk E-Mail folder added a few new spam emails while I was sitting at the desktop early this morning. All day long, I’m still deleting them off the other devices, but I would expect that my desktop running SpamSieve would catch more emails during the day. I have one very persistent spammer that sends dozens of messages a day. The Junk E-Mail folder only finds email when I’m sitting in front of it and stops during the day. I retrieve email on an IMAP account on my desktop iMac plus an iPhone and iPad - all of which are set up the same way for my IMAP email account. Also, if you’re ever unhappy, you own the domain, so you can change to a different hosting company without changing your e-mail address.I’m running SpamSieve as a free trial on Outlook for Mac 2011 (v14.4) on Mac OS X 10.9.2.Įverything is setup properly, I’ve trained it on Good and Spam emails, and my Junk E-Mail box fills up nicely. This gives you more control over what the mail server does-you can turn its junk filter off completely, if you want. DreamHost and Pair are some inexpensive hosts that I’ve used and recommend. Lastly, if e-mail is very important to you, I think the best solution is to get your own domain name. So anyone interested in seeing this fixed might want to file a bug and reference that number. Secondly, I filed a bug with Apple about the inability to turn off MobileMe’s junk mail filter, and they replied that it was a known issue that they are tracking under Bug ID# 7697915. ![]() This won’t prevent MobileMe from catching good messages and putting them into Junk, but at least then you won’t have to check two separate spam mailboxes. ![]() That issue is out of our control, as far as I know.Īnother partial workaround: you can set SpamSieve to put its spam messages into MobileMe’s Junk mailbox. Of course, this has no effect on the messages that MobileMe’s filter has already moved to the Junk mailbox. To my knowledge, it does this, and desktop Mail does not move any messages to the Junk mailbox. The goal of my suggested workaround was to enable you to turn on Mail’s junk mail filter without having it catch any messages or affect SpamSieve. But, you said, “of course I need to leave it switched off in order for SpamSieve to work.” When desktop Mail’s filter is on, it treats the server-side Junk mailbox differently. Your first message said that you wanted to be able to turn on Mail’s junk mail filter due to the Dock icon badge functionality. Adding both rules ‘Message is addressed to my full name’ AND ‘Message is NOT addressed to my full name’ inexplicably does not prevent the Mail.app from capturing messages and marking them unread in the (now invisible) MM junk folder. Michael - your workaround is ingenious but ineffective. ![]()
