SpamSieve Mail Plug-In: SpamSieveHelper does not seem to be running

[craig9876543]

I’ve just installed a trial of SpamSieve. It seems to be installed properly, and I’m seeing Trained: and Predicted: (Auto) entries in the SpamSieve Log.

When I try and use “Train as Good” or “Train as Spam” in the Message pulldown on Mac Mail (Yosemite) it doesn’t appear to work and logs an error in the system error log.

I would expect SpamSieve to remove the email from my InBox when I “Train as Spam”. It doesn’t. Also it highlights the Message menu for about 15 seconds before mail continues to respond.

When I hit either the Train as Good/Spam menu items, the System Log shows:

11/25/14 1:47:29.972 PM Mail[5971]: SpamSieve Mail Plug-In: SpamSieveHelper does not seem to be running. Trying to launch it.
11/25/14 1:47:29.973 PM Mail[5971]: SpamSieve Mail Plug-In: SpamSieveLaunchAgent is not running. It may be necessary to choose “Install Apple Mail Plug-In” from the SpamSieve menu or to restart your Mac.
11/25/14 1:47:29.973 PM Mail[5971]: SpamSieve Mail Plug-In: Launching via launch agent failed.

I’ve re-downloaded and re-installed SpamSieve and rebooted my machine to no avail.

Thoughts?

Thoughts?

The main problem is that the SpamSieveLaunchAgent is not running. This is the process that’s in charge of launching the SpamSieve application as well as the SpamSieveHelper (which runs the training commands). Did you try launching SpamSieve and installing the plug-in again like it says? Please have a look in the Console when you do so. There may be some relevant errors, e.g. from the SpamSieve application or launchd. My guess is that there is some sort of file permissions problem with your launch agents or launch agents folder.

Update
I had re-installed it previously. Just exited Apple Mail, started SpamSieve and installed the Apple Mail plugin.

No errors in the system error log directly related to SpamSieve:

Looks like it took. Everything is world readable and writable by my userid.
