#Astro mail spamsieve manual#

(If you’re using one of the other supported programs, installation instructions are found in SpamSieve’s manual.) SpamSieve works with both POP and IMAP accounts, and doesn’t require you to customize your account settings, unlike some of the other anti-spam tools.Īfter installing the plug-in, you’ll want to refer to the manual to find out what’s required to customize your mail client.

Once the program is running, you can install either a plug-in (Mail, Eudora, Thunderbird) or AppleScripts (Entourage) directly from the SpamSieve menu. Regardless of which mail program you’re using, you first launch the SpamSieve application. One second… And manually shut down both Mail and Spamsieve… Restarted Mail.SpamSieve’s setup isn’t automatic, but it isn’t overly complicated, either. At least for now, Mail is back and fast as ever… I’ve even logged off a couple times and came back on… Same… I’ve also manually quit Mail with SpamSieve still running… Restarted Mail. Just one I happened to notice while messing with other stuff. But now, one second… or two… Pretty interesting… I still have the issue where SpamSieve is not quitting even though Mail is quit and I have checked more than once that the SpamSieve preference is set to shut SpamSieve when mail goes down. This morning, I logged on, opened mail and it now opens in one second, two tops… I guarantee it has NOT done that for the past couple of months or so as I had gotten used to clicking on Mail and then going to another screen to do something else to wait for mail to eventually load and tell me about new mail.

Last evening I then logged off the computer as I do each evening. I clicked that link as well and it did fix that rule toggling (on, off, on, off) issue. That, if you recall, caused me some new issue you said was causing me a “rule problem” and so you gave me another link that would turn the counting of mailboxes back ON. So, now this is pretty interesting… Yesterday, I clicked on a link in another post about Apple Mail being slow to open and you, Michael, explained to me that link was to set some preference NOT to ask Mail to count mailboxes. But when it’s not running it does not show up in Activity Monitor so how would one find it in short order once it starts running to highlight it and then click to run the “Sample Process” routine? Can I just click on the “Uninstall Apple Mail Plugin” that I see in the SpamSieve pulldown? And then what, reinstall SpamSieve again? I always keep the installers so I have the most recent SpamSieve installer and several other older ones too.Īnd last, I’ve heard about this “Sample Process” technique in Activity Monitor but I don’t know how one could do that for Apple Mail when the concept is to try to monitor Apple Mail when it goes from not running to running. What do I need to do to just disconnect SpamSieve such that I can load Mail without it calling SpamSieve? And then see how fast Mail opens without SpamSieve present. Might this slow load have something to do with SpamSieve? I was reading a similar thread on this forum but was asked to go ahead and open a new one.

I known it to be bigger on other Mac deployments so that is likely still an ok size. I recently looked at the size of the Mail folder and it is about 13 GBytes. My concern would be if this long load is indicating some bigger issue where my Apple Mail might crash one day soon. That, in and of itself, doesn’t bother me as once it loads it is usually on for a long time after that and it runs quite normally.

Typically it takes about 15 seconds to open but sometimes it takes closer to 20 seconds.

Some time I would say in the past couple months, not obviously around say a macOS upgrade but I just can’t say for sure, I noticed that Apple Mail is taking a long time to load.
