Was Working, now Is Not

[ivsinc1]

I am using 10.11.1 Everything was fine until upgrading to the latest version of SpamSieve. Before, it was catching twenty to forty junk mails a day. Now, six. I told it to reinstall the plug in (using apple’s mail) The commands are there and when I select messages and tell it to train them as spam, it dutifully does so and moves them to the spam folder. However, it still will not catch them automatically, even if they are the same spam senders with the same titles.

When there’s a new version of the operating system, SpamSieve typically needs an update for compatibility with the new version of Apple Mail. Mail will present an error saying:

We make a public beta version of SpamSieve available for compatibility with the latest Mac OS X beta:

• Click this link (after installing SpamSieve) to join the public beta program and receive updates via the built-in Software Update… command.
• Click this link to stop receiving beta updates.

The beta release notes are available in the Software Update window and also in the Version History section of the manual (in the Help menu).

We do not recommend using a Mac OS X beta on your main Mac, as there may be bugs that we have not had time to, or cannot, work around. With that said, we do welcome bug reports so that we can investigate any bugs and report them to Apple or try to develop workarounds. Please submit any feedback or bug reports via e-mail, rather than posting here.

When the new version of Mac OS X is finalized and released to everyone, we (usually within hours) test SpamSieve with the release version and finalize the new version of SpamSieve. The new version is announced on the SpamSieve mailing list, blog, and Twitter feed and becomes available via the Software Update… command. It’s best to update SpamSieve before updating Mac OS X. To prevent Mac OS X from updating itself without asking you, go to the App Store section of System Preferences and make sure that Install OS X updates is unchecked.

The current public beta version of SpamSieve has preliminary support for Apple Mail under Mac OS X 10.11.0 Developer Beta 1 (15A178w).

I moved your post to a new thread because you posted it in the thread for El Capitain betas, and it sounds like you’re not using a beta version. If SpamSieve is not catching messages automatically, that usually indicates a problem with the rules in Mail. Please see the Checking the Apple Mail Setup page.
