Apple Mail and Entourage users can use the SpamSieve - Change
Settings command to customize SpamSieve’s behavior in those programs.
In Apple Mail, this command is located in the Message menu; in
Entourage, it is in the Scripts menu.
For Apple Mail, the settings are:
- Which mailbox should spam messages be moved to when you use “Train as
Spam”?
- Should messages marked using “Train as Spam” be stored in a local
spam mailbox (rather than on the server)? (This will use the spam
mailbox for the first IMAP account that’s listed in Mail’s
preferences.)
- Should “Train as Spam” mark the messages as read?
- When you use “Train as Good” on a message in the spam mailbox, should
the message be moved back to the inbox?
- When you use “Train as Good” on a message in the spam mailbox,
should the message be marked as unread?
- Should incoming spam messages be colored according to how spammy
they are (darker means more spammy)?
For Entourage, the settings are:
- Which folder should spam messages be moved to when you use “Train
Spam”?
- Should “Train Spam” mark the messages as read?
- When you use “Train Good” on a message in the spam folder, should
the message be moved back to the inbox?
- When you use “Train Good” on a message in the spam folder, should
the message be marked as unread?
- Which folder should incoming spam messages be moved to? (This only
affects POP messages. For IMAP and Exchange messages, you would need
to modify the SpamSieve - Move Messages rule.)
- Should incoming spam messages be marked as read?
- Should incoming spam messages be removed from the mail server?
- Should incoming spam messages be marked with category “Uncertain
Junk” rather than “Junk” if SpamSieve thinks they are not as spammy?
For other mail programs, similar options are available either in the
mail program’s preferences, or by editing the SpamSieve rule.
