SpamSieve 3.2.1 is a free update for those who have already purchased the SpamSieve 3.0 upgrade. If you’re using SpamSieve 2 and haven’t upgraded yet, the easiest way is to first let SpamSieve install the new version. At launch, it will show the Purchase window, and you can click the Check Upgrade Options button to get the upgrade discount without having to enter your old serial number.
Normally, SpamSieve will automatically offer to update you to the new version. There are also instructions for updating on this page. SpamSieve 3.2.1 is compatible with macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) through macOS Tahoe 26 and is recommended for all customers using those versions of macOS. Older versions are also available for macOS 10.12 (Sierra) and earlier.
The changes in this version are:
- Microsoft Outlook
-
- As previously mentioned, Microsoft will be temporarily removing Outlook’s support for AppleScript (and, thus, SpamSieve) on November 1. It is scheduled to return in December. In the interim, SpamSieve can continue to filter your mail if you set up your mail accounts and SpamSieve in Apple Mail. This will also keep the spam out of your inbox in Outlook, and if you enable the Train messages in TrainSpam and TrainGood setting, you can still train SpamSieve from within Outlook. There’s more information about all of this in the End of Support for Legacy Outlook section of the manual.
