Version 2.9.52 of SpamSieve is now available.

Save time by adding powerful spam filtering to the e-mail client on your Mac. SpamSieve gives you back your inbox, using Bayesian spam filtering to provide amazing accuracy that’s constantly improving. SpamSieve learns and adapts to your mail, so it’s able to block nearly all the junk—without putting good messages in the spam mailbox. It’s quick and easy to control SpamSieve from within Apple Mail, Airmail, Entourage, MailMate, Mailsmith, Outlook, Postbox 5, PowerMail, and more.

SpamSieve running on your Mac can keep the spam off your iPhone/iPad, and you can even train SpamSieve from your iOS device.

SpamSieve protects your privacy. It does not need access to your mail account login and does not transmit your mail data anywhere. All the processing is done on your Mac.

This is a free update that includes the following changes:

• Added support for Apple Mail on the forthcoming macOS 13.3. We recommend updating SpamSieve before updating macOS. SpamSieve 2.9.52 should automatically update the installed version of its Apple Mail plug-in, and the plug-in should stay enabled. However, if you don’t see the SpamSieve commands in Apple Mail’s Message menu, be sure to choose Install Apple Mail Plug-In from the SpamSieve menu and to enable the plug-in.
• Made various changes to improve SpamSieve’s filtering accuracy.
• If you are using Apple Mail on macOS 13, we recommend going to Mail ‣ Settings ‣ Accounts ‣ Account Information and setting Download Attachments to All for each account. This can work around a Mail bug that causes a hang when training a message.
• Added an experimental workaround for an issue on macOS 13 that could cause Apple Mail to take a long time to launch. For information on how to enable the workaround, please see the If Apple Mail Is Running Slowly section of the manual.
• Improved the speed of filtering the first message after SpamSieve launches.
• Added the following sections of the manual:
  • Turning Off the DreamHost Spam Filter
  • Turning Off the HostGator Spam Filter
  • Turning Off the Proton Mail Spam Filter
• Improved the following sections of the manual:
  • Granting Full Disk Access
  • If Apple Mail Is Running Slowly

Version 3.6.6 of DropDMG is now available.

DropDMG makes it easy to create a professional disk image for your app. Disk images pack entire folders or disks into a single compressed file, either for transport across the Internet or simply for backup or archival. They are Apple’s preferred format for distributing Mac software and the only archive format whose contents you can directly access in the Mac Finder—no extraction or third-party software required.

Deliver your Mac app on a .dmg file with a software license agreement, a custom volume icon, and a precise icon layout atop a Retina-optimized background picture. Customers can install simply by dragging and dropping the app onto the convenient Applications folder link. Code-sign your .dmg so that macOS knows it can be trusted after download.

This is a free update for owners of DropDMG 3.0 that includes the following enhancements:

• When creating a New Blank Disk Image…, there is now a preset size for macOS Install Disk.
• Worked around a macOS change that could cause the filename column of the log to be truncated.
• Improved the Format section of the manual.
• Added HdiutilFilesystem to the esoteric preferences. This makes it possible to use APFS when creating a disk image from a folder, which can make it faster for the end user to copy files from the mounted disk image.
• Tried to work around a change in macOS 13 that could cause DropDMG to crash at quit if you had used the font panel.
• Fixed bug where setting a disk image to auto-open would sometimes fail when running on an Apple Silicon Mac.

Version 2.8.3 of ToothFairy is now available.

ToothFairy is a Mac menu bar utility that lets you connect AirPods to your Mac with a single click or keypress. It also works with other Bluetooth headphones and with input devices such as mice, keyboards, and game pad controllers. You can see at a glance which devices are connected, as well as their battery levels. ToothFairy can also make music and videos sound better by using a higher quality codec for audio output.

This is a free update that includes the following changes:

• Made various improvements to the workaround for the macOS issue that could prevent the sound output from being set when connecting a device. The workaround is successful more often, avoids unnecessary disconnections when the sound output spontaneously fixes itself, and it better handles devices that have been put away or manually disconnected.
• The menu bar icon now shows when ToothFairy is fixing the sound output. An arrow in a solid circle indicates that the device is currently connected but in the process of disconnecting. An arrow with no circle indicates that the device is waiting to reconnect.
• ToothFairy no longer reports that the sound output is not set when the device isn’t connected, anyway.
• Fixed a problem where the progress spinner could stay visible forever, even after the device disconnected.
• Fixed a problem where ToothFairy could show a Bluetooth connection failure error message for connections that the user did not initiate.

ToothFairy 2.8.3 works with macOS 10.13 through macOS 13 and requires a Bluetooth device. In-depth information about ToothFairy is available in the manual.
