SpamSieve can filter your mail even when you’re traveling or on vacation away from your Mac. There are different ways to do this depending your particular situation. Here are some factors to consider:
If you have one Mac and one or more iOS devices, you can leave the Mac at home, running in a low-power state, and it will keep the spam out of the inbox on the iOS devices.
It’s still important to correct all the mistakes. Instead of deleting any spam messages that you find in the inbox on your iPhone, enable remote training and move them to the TrainSpam. If you can’t or don’t want to do that, you should temporarily turn off auto-training so that SpamSieve doesn’t learn incorrect information in your absence. If you forget to do that, you can fix uncorrected mistakes after when you get back.
If you have multiple Macs, one option is to run SpamSieve only on the Mac that you leave at home. The travel Mac that you bring with you would use remote training, as described above. The advantage to this setup is that the inbox will always be clean on your phone and travel Mac, even if they are offline for long periods of time.
Another option is to run SpamSieve only on the travel Mac. The advantage is that you would not be reliant on the Mac at home, which might stop working if there’s a power outage. The disadvantage is that messages will only be filtered when the travel Mac is online. Note: The travel Mac does not have to be the same Mac that runs SpamSieve when you’re at home; you can copy the training data to it when you leave and then back to the other Mac when you return.
