[MlMt] Updating SpamSieve

[Ken Pope]

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.

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.

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.

Hope this helps.
