Normally, SpamSieve shows statistics for all the messages that it
processed since it was installed. Because the accuracy and the number
of messages you receive change with time, you may wish to only see
recent statistics. Click the Set Date… button at the bottom of the
window to control which old statistics are hidden from view. You can
edit the date and time shown in the sheet, or enter an entirely new
date. SpamSieve will accept dates specified in natural language, such
as “last Sunday at dinner” or “today.” The Now button enters the
current date and time.
