SpamSieve 3.0.2 - New Install macOS 14.1.1 - Outlook blocked - SpamSieve log error (every hour)

Hi forum,

quick question:

  • I did a fresh installation of SpamSieve 3.0.2 on macOS 14.1.1 /´(Intel iMac)
  • I downgraded my Outlook 16.79 from new version to legacy version
  • I granted full disk access for SpamSieve in System Prefs (restart of SpamSieve included)
  • SpamSieve is licensed version (no test version)
  • I restarted Outlook (hard way)
  • I restarted SpamSieve (hard way)
  • I restarted my Computer

Now: In my SpamSieve log I get almost every hour i the following error message (please notice timestamp):

=====================================================================
Status: logOutlookFilterInbox
Error Code: -1,712
Log Entry: Error filtering inbox: „Microsoft Outlook“ hat einen Fehler erhalten: AppleEvent lieferte eine Zeitüberschreitung.

The problem is:

  • Outlook is completely blocked (no input/output possible)
  • SystemActivityMonitor shows extreme load for outlook with CPU > 6 hours already and counting
  • SpamSieve does not have further information

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Did I miss something to configure (according to install guide I should be fine!)

This is only necessary for Apple Mail, not Outlook.

My guess is that Outlook is timing out because you have a large number of messages in your inbox, and it looks like you are using the regular Outlook setup. Please follow the Setting Up Outlook (Large Inboxes) instructions instead.
