I had a bizarre thing happen: the built-in junk mail filter for Apple’s Mail program stopped working for me. After trying everything to get it going again, I decided to clear the spam filter and start from scratch. After training it for over a week, it’s worse than ever: it never marks anything as spam except mail that I sent to myself!
Luckily, I still had my license for SpamSieve, a spam filter I bought when I used Microsoft Outlook Express. So I downloaded the latest version and installed it, “trained” it by having it look at my current batch of junk mail (took 1 minute) and already it’s caught all new junk mail messages.
If you’re a Mac user and have problems with junk email, try SpamSieve now! There’s a 30-day free trial, it works with all major mail apps, and is well worth the $30 purchase price.
