OK, Mac users, show of hands: how many of you are tired of dealing with spam emails? 🙋
If you are and are seriously ready to do something about it, may I suggest you look into a Mac-only program called, "SpamSieve"?
I have been using it since June 2018 and I swear by it. I have it running on an older Mac that's on 24/7/365 and that's all that Mac does - filters out spam. Over the years, it's filtered out spam over our 14 email accounts (yeah, trust me, I'm not bragging about my family have 14 emails accounts which is why I'm using SpamSieve in the first place!).
According to SpamSieve's statistics in the app, it has processed 651,682 good messages and 254,807 spam messages (28%) for us during those 8 years. On average, we receive 83 spam messages per day. Over the course of a week, we might see 1-2 pieces of spam that slip through but SpamSieve is easily trained to be on the lookout for similar emails in the future.
Once it's configured and you spend a week or so training it, you can pretty much say goodbye to spam once and for all! That's not hyperbole either! By the way, the added benefit of having your Mac filter out spam is that you won't see those spam emails on your iPhone or iPad when you are away from your Mac!
If you're tired of dealing with spam on your Mac, give me a call, send me a text, or email me and we'll get SpamSieve set up on your Mac too.
SpamSieve is an extremely accurate and easy to use Bayesian spam filter for Mac e-mail programs. Macworld’s “Software of the Year.” Download our free trial here.
