You should check that the target mailbox or mail folder isnt full or disabled. Now with the combination of SpamSieve, an iPhone which does real IMAP including listing folders on the server and Merlin Mann’s Inbox Zero recommendations, I’m finally in control of my email, greatly improving my overall productivity. If you start receiving an increased amount of spam, with junk mail filters enabled, then there might be a problem with the mailbox that your spam emails are usually moved to. Other features include a whitelist, blocklist, coloring of spam messages to show degree of spamminess and the option to use of the Habeas Safelist. It also keeps statistics on mail processing, showing the total of good and spam messages, as well as false positives and false negatives, which is great for stats junkies like myself. It’s Bayesian filter system works really well, I’ve only seen 10 false positives out of the over 13K email messages it has processed so far. When you first setup SpamSieve you’ll need to train it for a while, identifying both spam and good email, which is then logged in SpamSieve’s corpus. Since I started using it on a daily basis, very little spam makes it to my inbox. You can train it to treat false positives as OK, and new spam that gets into your inbox as spam. After the initial training, it was about 97 accurate. These spams were likely caught by a junk filter on your mail server. Spamsieve solves the problem by training itself on the items you move from your Junk folder to a new Spam folder. You may find that you have a second Spam / Junk / Bulk mailbox that is also filling up with spam. When you train a message as spam, SpamSieve also puts it in that mailbox.

A couple of weeks ago I decided to install SpamSieve by C-Command Software and so far it’s been doing an amazing job. SpamSieve moves the spam messages that arrive in your inbox into a separate mailbox, usually called Junk. It has been doing an ok job, but still a bunch of spam gets through casing me to waste time dealing with it. If SpamSieve and the server filter are both configured to use the Junk mailbox, the messages caught by the server will show up in Apple Mails message list.

I’m on a Mac and have been using a combination of SpamAssassin on the server and Mac Mail’s Junk filter. As with everyone, spam has been becoming more an more of a problem every day.
