On macOS 10.14 and later, you need to tell the system if you want applications
to be able to control other applications via automation or to access their
data. For example:
- In order to train messages in Apple Mail (and to filter messages in
other mailboxes), SpamSieve needs to be able to control Mail.
- When using the Apple Mail extension, SpamSieve needs full disk access
to filter messages quickly and to access messages in large mailboxes.
- When using the Apple Mail plug-in, SpamSieve needs full disk access to
install the plug-in for Apple Mail and to communicate with Mail. It
also needs to control Mail to activate, deactivate, and uninstall the
Apple Mail rule. The SpamSieveHelper app needs to control Mail and
SpamSieve to train messages.
- In order to filter and train messages in Outlook, SpamSieve needs to be
able to control Outlook.
- Airmail and MailMate need to control SpamSieve to send it messages to
analyze.
- In order to allowlist messages from your Outlook or Entourage address
books, SpamSieve needs to control those applications to ask them about
your addresses.
- In order to flash a PowerMate when new messages arrive, SpamSieve needs
to be able to control the PowerMate app.
