For best results with SpamSieve—and for e-mail in general—we recommend a mail
host that:
- Supports IMAP or Exchange
- This will keep your mailboxes and messages synchronized across multiple
devices and let you use SpamSieve on your Mac for iPhone Spam Filtering.
- Lets You Control Its Junk Filter
- You don’t want the server’s filter to accidentally delete good messages
before you even see them. For more information, see the How should I
configure the junk filter on my mail server? section.
- Can Use Your Domain Name
- If your e-mail address is at a domain name that you control (rather than at
the provider’s domain), you won’t be locked into your current host should
you ever become dissatisfied with it. You’ll be able to easily switch to a
different host without having to change your e-mail address.
E-mail is important. If your mail provider does not offer the features that you
want, we recommend switching to one that does. FastMail and Pair are some inexpensive hosts that
we’ve used and recommend. Other ones that’ve heard good things about are 1&1, Cotse.Net,
LuxSci, and Hover.
