2.4   Uninstalling SpamSieve

You can temporarily disable SpamSieve by unchecking the SpamSieve rule(s) that you created in your mail program.

To uninstall SpamSieve, delete any rules that you created for it in your e-mail program. You can also delete the AppleScripts and/or plug-in that you installed, and the SpamSieve application and its data files, which are stored in:

/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/SpamSieve

The preferences file is stored in:

/Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/com.c-command.SpamSieve.plist

Apple Mail

The plug-in is located at:

/Users/<username>/Library/Mail/Bundles/SpamSieve.mailbundle

You can also re-enable Apple Mail’s built-in junk mail filter from the Junk Mail tab of its Preferences window.

Emailer

The scripts are located in Emailer’s AppleScripts folder (next to the Emailer application).

Entourage

The scripts are located in the Entourage Script Menu Items folder inside Microsoft User Data (which is probably in your Documents folder). Go to Entourage’s Tools menu and select Junk E-mail Protection (or Junk Mail Filter in Entourage v.X) and re-enable Entourage’s junk mail filter.

Eudora 6

The plug-in is located at:

/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Eudora/PlugIns/SpamSieve Eudora Plug-In

After uninstalling the SpamSieve plug-in, you can re-enable Eudora’s own junk mail support by selecting the Eudora icon in the Finder and choosing Get Info from the File menu. In the Plug-Ins tab of the info window, you can check or uncheck the various plug-ins to enable or disable them. Check all the plug-ins containing the words “Junk” or “Spam.”

Delete the SpamSieve Eudora Helper file and also run the Uninstall Eudora Helper program that came with SpamSieve. (To access the uninstaller, choose Show Other Scripts from the SpamSieve menu.)

The scripts are located in the Script Menu Items folder inside Microsoft User Data (which is probably in your Documents folder).
