3.10   Setting Up PowerMail

These instructions apply to PowerMail 6 and PowerMail 5. Please see the Setting up PowerMail 4 section if you need to setup an older version of PowerMail.

1. Go to the Mark as Spam pane of PowerMail’s Preferences window. Click the Spam filter assistant… button and tell the assistant that you want to use SpamSieve.
2. Now proceed to the Do an Initial Training section. To train SpamSieve with spam messages, select one or more of them and then choose Mark as Spam from the Mail menu. To train SpamSieve with good messages, select one or more of them and then choose Mark as Good from the Mail menu.

SpamSieve will process new mail automatically. If you ever need to manually ask it to sift through a mix of spam and good messages, select the messages and choose Perform Filter ‣ Perform All Filters from the Mail menu.

The above is all you need to know about using SpamSieve with PowerMail. The Customization section explains some more advanced setup options. For more information about how to configure PowerMail’s handling of spam messages, please see the PowerMail documentation.
