SpamSieve starts then dies; unable to install as Thunderbird add-on

The title says it all… starts then dies! I downloaded the latest version, same thing… running on OS X 10.11.6, Thunderbird 45.6.0

Any ideas?

It’s not clear to me what you mean by “dies.” If there is an error message or crash report, please post it here (or submit it via e-mail). That said, Thunderbird 45 is not one of the supported mail programs.

That’s the problem; is there going to be support for TB 45, or should I start looking for something else? (recommendations?)

Regards, Rolf

There is not likely to be support for Thunderbird 45 anytime soon. As noted on that page, you can, however, use Apple Mail in the background to run SpamSieve but use Thunderbird to read your mail and to train SpamSieve (via the drone setup’s special training mailboxes).
