<div style="font-family:sans-serif"><div style="white-space:normal"><p dir="auto">I had the same problem when I migrated from an older macbook pro to an M1 MacBook pro, both running Big Sur: seemingly random spam sorting, no amount of training having any effect, reinstalling SpamSieve not helping, etc. Up to that migration, SpamSieve had worked flawlessly for many years.</p>
<p dir="auto">What finally worked was: I used Uninstaller-OS Cleaner (which removes caches, preferences, & other files located outside the Apps folder) to remove every aspect of SpamSieve, including the corpus of training messages. Then I uninstalled MailMate.</p>
<p dir="auto">Once I did a clean install of both programs, SpamSieve started working again. I did have to train it but it learns fast and now has virtually no false positives or false negatives.</p>
<p dir="auto">Hope this helps.</p>

Despite endless training and retraining, resetting and so on, it's almost completely random what gets labelled as spam and frankly it's easier to delete it manually. I came here hoping to find discussion about what is going on but I don't see a lot:(<br>
<br>
I suspect this is from my going from an old mac Pro on Mojave to an M1 Mac mini around Xmas. If anyone has any bright ideas please let me know but I've gone through the spamsieve manual, reset it all, reinstalled, pretty much everything I can find as suggestions and am tired of retrieving more good messages (usually with whitelisted emails and so on) than spam from Junk.</p>
