Drag the SpamSieve icon into the Applications folder for your Mac.ĭo not double-click on the app while it’s still on the disk image. Copy it into your Applications folder! SpamSieve’s scripts need to know where SpamSieve is located. If you install SpamSieve in any folder on your hard drive besides your Applications folder, then SpamSieve may not function properly. You can now eject the SpamSieve disk image by dragging it into the Trash icon in your Dock. Microsoft’s junk email prevention is a joke. We need to turn it off so it doesn’t conflict with SpamSieve. From the Tools menu in Outlook, select Junk E-Mail Protection. Microsoft Outlook > Tools > Junk E-Mail Protectionĭouble-click on the SpamSieve application icon to open the program. Go to the SpamSieve menu and choose Preferences.įrom SpamSieve’s Preferences screen, make sure that “Use Entourage/Outlook address book” is selected. Then click on the Load button.Īfter your address book loads (it will take longer if you have a big one) a pop-up screen will ask you to chose Entourage or Outlook. Now you need to add SpamSieve’s scripts to Outlook. You should now see the following SpamSieve scripts under the AppleScript menu in Outlook:Ġ9) Create Outlook Rules to Use SpamSieve Choose “Install Outlook Scripts” from the SpamSieve menu. SpamSieve’s scripts are now installed, we just need to tell Outlook when to run them by creating Rules.įrom Outlook’s Tools menu, select the “Rules” option. We will need to create 2 different rules that will run locally on your computer. If you are on an Exchange server, make sure you add your rules under “On My Computer” and not under “Exchange Server.”Otherwise they won’t work. I figure I’ll have to restart Mail by Friday, when the new message count should be well into the 1000s.Click on the + button to create a new rule.The first rule we are going to create will help SpamSieve classify your emails. Time Memory Private Memory “New Messages” count in Downloading message Watching more closely for a bit, I see that while the memory use trends steadily upward, it’s more of a sawtooth pattern.Īs for memory consumption, here is a brief log for the past 18 hours or so: I erred in saying “monotonically increasing”. TL DR - Real Private Memory increases along with total memory. Typically, though, I restart Mail prophylactically at about 750MB and all is good. Sometimes the entire machine is affected (requiring a reboot). What I’ve seen in the past is that when Mail’s memory use approaches 1GB, Mail becomes unstable in various ways. This becomes a maintenance consideration, and I travel quite a bit (often off the grid), making regular maintenance restarts tricky.ĭo you see any particular bad effects when it gets to 1 GB? Does the Real Private Memory (you may need to tell it to show that column) also increase like that? Frankly, I wouldn’t much care except for the apparent memory-leak issue. Mail and SpamSieve are operating as expected EXCEPT for the persistent “downloading messages” message.Īny additional thoughts / suggestions much appreciated. Re-started Mail (went fine) then re-added that account (went fine). The rebuild went fine after I deleted what turned out to be a problematic account (it’s “Spam” folder was apparently a mess, causing Mail to think that there were ~450,000 messages in there - there weren’t). No change to the “downloading messages” behavior. Okay, I sucked it up and re-built Mail’s databases from scratch. If the rebuild succeeds, you could then re-import them later. Another idea would be to export some of the mailboxes and then delete them from Mail, so that there’s less to rebuild.
