Normally, SpamSieve shows statistics for all the messages that it has processed since it was installed. Because the accuracy and the number of messages that you receive change with time, you may wish to only see recent statistics. To do this, you can edit the Showing Statistics Since date. If you’ve chosen a suitable date and the Filtered Messages section shows zero filtered messages, that means that your mail program did tell SpamSieve about any of the incoming messages. You should check to make sure that the mail program setup is correct.

You can copy all the statistics to the clipboard using the Copy Statistics button.
