SpamSieve 3.2.1
C-Command Software has published SpamSieve 3.2.1 with bug fixes and improvements for the spam-filtering utility. The release works around a bug in macOS 26 Tahoe that prevented messages from moving to the Junk mailbox for some customers with POP accounts, resolves an issue where remote training would log (harmless) errors for POP accounts, improves the Mail extension’s error reporting, works around a change where macOS would keep trying to add the SpamSieve icon to the menu bar even if the Show menu bar icon preference was turned off, and fixes a bug where the Dock icon didn’t adapt to different themes.
Because Microsoft will be temporarily removing Outlook’s support for AppleScript (and, thus, SpamSieve) on 1 November 2025, C-Command recommends setting up your mail accounts and SpamSieve in Apple Mail so that SpamSieve can continue to filter your mail (for more information, see the End of Support for Legacy Outlook section of the manual).

Was the report of Microsoft “temporarily removing Outlook’s support for AppleScript” based on the originally scheduled end of support for Legacy Outlook (which does support AppleScript)? Because that end of support date has been pushed back to 1 November 2026.
There’s still no indication of AppleScript support in New Outlook; when switched into that mode, the app only supports the very basics of the Standard Suite. Microsoft has a roadmap entry for it, but it is listed as still “in development” as I write this, even though it also has a rollout date of December 2025.
