SpamSieve Technical Support

Known Issues

1. SpamSieve 3.1.2 (released March 31, 2025) is compatible with macOS 10.13 High Sierra through macOS 15 Sequoia and Apple Silicon Macs.
2. Apple Mail in macOS 14 Sonoma removes support for Mail plug-ins, so SpamSieve 2 will stop working. SpamSieve 3 has been released with support for Sonoma. Here’s a guide explaining the transition.
3. If you want to use a pre-release version of macOS or update to the latest release version as soon as it’s ready, check out the SpamSieve public beta.
4. If macOS reports that the app is damaged the first time you try to launch it, please see the Download Fixer tool.

Getting Help

1. The SpamSieve manual includes the list of supported mail programs and OS versions, setup instructions for the different mail programs, a section on iPhone spam filtering, and a FAQ.
2. SpamSieve 3 is a paid upgrade. At the top of the Purchase window, there should be a Check Upgrade Options button that will let you get the upgrade discount, or you can enter your license info here.
3. When troubleshooting, first take a look at SpamSieve’s Log window, which shows lots of information about what SpamSieve is doing and includes links to relevant help pages.
4. Are lots of spam messages (or more than before) ending up in your inbox? Please see this page. For the best filtering accuracy, follow the instructions to do an initial training and to correct all the mistakes.
