7.1.7   Checking the MailMaven Setup

The Setting Up MailMaven section describes how to set up MailMaven to filter your mail using SpamSieve.

1. Make sure that the SpamSieve application is stored directly in your Applications folder, as shown in the Installing SpamSieve section.
2. Make sure that Evaluate arriving messages using SpamSieve is selected in MailMaven’s settings.
3. In MailMaven’s Settings ‣ Accounts ‣ Mail Accounts, make sure that each account as the right Junk mailbox selected.
4. Make sure that MailMaven has Automation access to control SpamSieve.

To test that the setup works:

1. When you receive a new message, note its subject.
2. Click on SpamSieve’s icon in the Dock.
3. Choose Log from the Window menu.

The setup is correct if there’s a log entry (near the bottom) that says Predicted: Good or Predicted: Spam and shows the subject for the new message.

If you don’t see the expected log entries for new messages, please contact SpamSieve technical support and/or SmallCubed and explain what happened when you followed these instructions.
