Email is almost the perfect communications method. It allows people to send free messages that can be accessed instantly, it allows people to create electronic communication archives, and it breathes new life into the age-old tradition of letter writing. Email was so close to attaining electronic communications utopia! Unfortunately, it never made it, and it never will, because the spammers went and ruined everything.

If you use email, you know what we're talking about. Spam, or electronic junk mail, has been clogging email boxes for years now, and it's only getting worse. According to the experts, spam now accounts for over 80% of all email. Incredibly, spam now costs US organizations alone over $10 billion dollars every year!

Apple's Mail thinks this is junk mail, and it's right. We don't want any!

How do you get rid of the junk messages? You can, of course, click on every email message and hit the delete button, but that gets old when you receive dozens of spam messages every day. A better solution is to train software to identity, quarantine, and delete spam so you don't even have to look at the stuff. We'll show you how to do it!

What Not To Do

Maybe you can relate to this: As junk mail fills Hypothetical Bob's Inbox, he's gripped by an uncontrollable rage. He feels the urge to do something -- anything! Bob responds to one of the (ahem) more vulgar spam messages and writes something (ahem) equally inappropriate to whoever just spammed him.

Resist the urge. It won't do any good, and it'll waste time -- time you could have used to configure your anti-spam software.

Here are other things you should never do:

• Contact Spammers: Do not reply to spam messages. Do not click unsubscribe links. Do not email the ISP (Internet Service Provider) that supposedly delivered the message. People sending spam forge their IP addresses and use bogus email addresses, which means you can't contact them or trace them. But even if you could email them, you wouldn't want to: Such an action would only verify that your email address is correct -- something that would ensure that you get even more spam!
  
  
• Post Your Email Address on the Internet: Do not post your personal email account on a website. Evil spam-bots scour websites for email addresses -- if they find yours, they'll grab it and never let go. People try to get around this by breaking their email addresses up into chunks, like this: matt [at] macinstruct . com. That won't help you evade spam-bots these days! Create a junk Gmail account and post that if you really need to publish an email address on the Internet.
  
  
• Be a Cyber Vigilante: Do not spam the spammers. Do not try to retaliate against people spamming you. Legend has it that a systems administrator at the University of New Mexico tracked down an individual who had spammed him and launched a DOS attack against the spammer -- from a UNM production web server. Turned out that was a bad idea. The spammers completely flooded UNM's mail server with junk mail for months after that, rendering the UNM mail server completely useless.
  
  
• Buy Spam Stuff: Don't even think about buying anything advertised in a junk mail message. If you want to buy cheap, no-name pharmaceuticals (!), buy them from somebody other than a petty electronic criminal.
  
  
• Report Spammers: There are tons of websites and applications that allow you to track and report spammers. The organizations that provide these services claim to be building databases full of the bad guys, and they say that the information they collect can later be used to track down and eliminate the nasties. Don't believe the hype. The spammers can't be tracked or traced, and even if they are busted, they'll just move somewhere else.

Basically, there's nothing you can do with spam except get rid of it.

Spam-Busting Methodologies

Obviously, there's a lot of pressure to make all this spam stop. Junk mail is costing people big time and money. But how do you make it stop? There are two lines of defense in the war against spam: Server-level filtering and client-level filtering.

Systems administrators have three options when considering how to filter spam:

• Block Spam Messages: This is risky business! An administrator implements SpamAssassin or Brightmail to find and block spam messages. Unfortunately, this can sometimes block valid email messages. (This is known as a "false-positive.")
  
  
• Tag Potential Spam: This is probably the best option, and the one most administrators opt to use. Both SpamAssassin and Brightmail can place tags in an email message's headers to help the client's filtering software determine whether or not a message is spam.
  
  
• Do Nothing: More and more administrators are taking this route. It takes a lot of energy and resources to filter spam on the server-side, and clients hate it when a false-positive deletes a valid email message.

The client-level spam defense is up to you. In order to best plan your attack on spam, you'll need to figure out what spam-filtering steps your internet service provider takes. Here's how:

1. Open Apple's Mail application. You'll find it in the Applications folder.
   
   
2. Select a junk message. From the View menu, select Message, and then Long Headers.

   
   

3. If you see headers related to spam, you'll know your internet service provider tags potential spam messages. If you don't find anything, call your provider and ask them how they handle spam.

   
   

Knowing what you know now, you can decide how best to attack the spam flooding your Inbox. We'll show you how.

How Anti-Spam Software Works

Filtering spam from your Inbox is a little like using birth-control: There are a lot of options, and none of them work 100% of the time. In fact, unless you abstain from email altogether (we don't recommend it), the best you can hope for is about a 97% spam filtration success rate.

What you decide to use should depend on your situation: Assess your internet service provider's policies, the amount of time you have to work on this stuff, and your patience and tolerance for complicated filtering software. If getting every piece of spam isn't important to you, look at less complicated options, like Apple's Mail junk options.

The most popular programs use one of two spam-filtering methods. Applications like Apple's Mail use something called latent semantic analysis. Unless you're a rocket scientist, you probably won't understand the complex math that goes on behind the scenes. (And who cares, anyway?) The most important thing to know is that latent semantic analysis analyzes relationships between documents and then creates a matrix to create trends based on the relationships. In the case of Apple's Mail, you help create the matrix by selecting mail messages that are junk. Mail uses this information in the future to automatically flag messages as spam.

Can you hang with the latent semantic analysis derivation? We can't.

Your other option -- and this is the most interesting -- is Bayesian spam filtering. Applications like SpamSieve use Bayesian spam filtering. Because Bayesian spam filtering relies heavily on probability, it's completely worthless without user input. You'll have to train applications that use this method! Here's how it works: The probability that an email is spam, given that it has certain words in it, is equal to the probability of finding those certain words in spam email, times the probability that any email is spam, divided by the probability of finding those words in any email.

Generally speaking, Bayesian spam filtering will probably provide the best defensive against spam. However, now that junk mail messages have started relying heavily on images, Bayesian spam filtering is less effective than it used to be. Spammers have also starting pasting valid text (i.e.: news articles, etc.) into spam, and this also reduces Bayesian filtering's effectiveness.

This text doesn't make any sense, but it ruins the probability that Bayesian filtering relies on.

How to Stop Spam with Apple's Mail

Apple's Mail application ships with a built-in spam filter that uses latent semantic analysis. We'll be honest with you: Mail's filtering is far from perfect. But it'll do in a pinch, and it's a nice option if you don't want to spend weeks training another anti-spam application. The Junk Mail feature works pretty well straight out of the box!

Here's how to turn on Mail's spam filtering:

1. Open Apple's Mail application. You'll find it in the Applications folder.
   
   
2. From the Mail menu, select Preferences. Click Junk Mail.

   
   
   

3. Select the Enable junk mail filtering check box. We strongly suggest that you leave junk mail in Training mode (Leave it in my Inbox, but indicate it is junk mail), at least for a couple days, while you're starting out. Leave the next three checkboxes selected -- none of those people should be sending you spam.
   
   
4. Remember those server-side spam tags we talked about? The ones inserted into email message headers? Mail can use those to determine whether or not an email message is spam. If your internet service provider tags email messages, check the last box (Trust junk mail headers set by my Internet Service Provider).
   
   
5. If you'd like to set advanced mail rules for spam, click the Advanced button. We don't recommend doing this if you're just starting out -- it's more of a tweaking thing.
   
   
6. Close Mail's Preferences. Mail will start looking for junk mail the next time you receive email. Messages that Mail thinks are spam are colored brown.

   
   

7. If you receive spam messages that Mail doesn't recognize as junk, you can tell it that the message is spam. Simply select the message and click the Junk button on Mail's toolbar. Mail will mark the message as junk and learn from its mistake. When Mail marks valid email messages as junk, click the Not Junk button on Mail's toolbar. After a couple days, you should notice that Mail is increasingly accurate at identifying spam.

   
   

8. After a couple days (or perhaps weeks, if you're being careful), you should take Mail out of Training mode. Go back into Mail's Preferences and select Automatic. From now on, Mail will automatically put spam into the Junk folder on the sidebar. You can occasionally glance at the email messages in that folder to make sure Mail is filtering out spam and not valid email messages.

Congratulations! You've configured Mail to identify spam.

How to Use SpamSieve to Stop Spam

If Mail's Junk Mail feature doesn't tickle your fancy, SpamSieve will. This is probably the first and last spam filtering application you'll ever need. If you train it correctly, it'll bust spam like none other!

Here's how to use it:

1. Download SpamSieve. You'll have a month to decide whether it's a keeper or not -- after that, you'll have to pay $30 to continue using it.
   
   
2. When you first start SpamSieve, you'll see the following "tip." (We'd call it a make-it-or-break-it piece of information, but whatever.)

   
   

3. From the SpamSieve menu, select Install Apple Mail Plug-In. (Or select a plug-in for your mail application of choice.)

   
   

4. SpamSieve will confirm that it has installed the plug-in. Quit the Mail application and reopen it.

   
   

5. Turn off Mail's Junk Mail filtering. You could have major problems if you try to use SpamSieve and Junk Mail filtering at the same time.
   
   
6. Now we need to create a folder for our spam. In the lower left-hand corner of Mail's sidebar, click the + button. Type Spam in the Name box.

   
   

7. Next, we'll need to create a rule for SpamSieve. In Mail, select Preferences from the Mail menu. Click Rules. Type SpamSieve into the Description box, and make sure everything looks like our screenshot below. Close Mail's Preferences.

   
   

8. Now the training begins. Over the next couple days, you'll have to flag spam messages for SpamSieve. To do this, select a junk message and select SpamSieve - Train as Spam from the Message menu.

   
   

9. SpamSieve will slowly start identifying spam on its own. Keep training it! The more training you do, the more accurately SpamSieve will filter spam. To find out how successful you've been, select Show Statistics from SpamSieve's Filter menu.

   
   

That's it! You've successfully configured SpamSieve to filter your spam. Now you're a Mac spam-buster!

Turning off WYSIWYG font and style menus has greatly reduced my Word startup times. To do so, go to Word » Preferences (or press Command-,). In the General section, deselect WYSIWYG font and style menus -- it's third from the bottom. Voil ! Faster Word. To be sure, don't do this if you like to preview fonts and styles in their respective menus.

[robg adds: Interestingly, this option is Office-wide switch -- turn off WYSIWYG menus in Word, and you'll also disable them in Excel and PowerPoint. You can also disable them in Excel or PowerPoint (the effect is still Office-wide). Of course, the setting is found in an entirely different location in those two apps: Go to Tools » Customize » Customize Toolbars/Menus, not Preferences. At the bottom right of this window, uncheck WYSIWYG font menus.]

------------------

My machine developed a problem where Word and other Office apps would do the "Optimizing Font Menu Performance" tango on every start. I solved it by opening Font Book and:

1) Highlighting all fonts and selecting "Resolve Duplicates" from the Edit menu;

2) Turning off little-used fonts.

I still have quite a few fonts active, but this seems to have cured the problem.
--
All I have to say is thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. I am running a 1.25 GHz PowerBook G4 Al with Word v.X, and launches are atrociously slow for Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. Me and my boss (small company) do a lot of graphic design, and so have somewhere over 1900 fonts (Not including the likes of Bold, Italics, Light and Condensed, etc.) on each of our systems. He still uses Office for most things, but I have gone to using Keynote and Pages for everything and simply using their MS Office export formats. I can finally go back to the easy way of getting the file formats right for Office! Thanks again!
--
Well when you work at an ad agency and no one needs the font previews in Office apps, and they only want to look at a Word document and not click OK 20 or 30 times because Word think that this or that font is corrupt (despite trashing ~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office Font Cache (11)) then you can also do this:

Move/delete this file:
/Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Office/Support Files/FontCacheTool

Same effect as the tip, but more final in case you trash prefs and it turns back on.
---
It happens to me every time I start word. We use a lot of fonts, and consequently have to turn them on and off using a font manager all the time. Maybe that is why.

However, I find that it still goes through the optimizing font menu dance even after turning WYSIWYG font menus in preferences.

Removing the file suggested above does the trick. It's like i have a new machine!

excellent hint. worked great for me.

looks like i wont be so anxious to upgrade to the next version of ms office afterall. rosetta forever! just kidding.

I thought I’ll check it for myself, so I did some testing. First I created a simple test.doc file, just one line of unformatted text, file size 20kB and saved on my Desktop.

I made sure the WYSIWYG option is enabled, then rebooted the computer. After a clean boot I double-clicked on test.doc and timed the start up - 30.1 seconds. Now I closed the file and quit Word (Cmnd-Q), then double-clicked the file again and the Word opened in 4.4 sec.

Time to disable WYSIWYG and see what’s the difference. After yet another reboot I double-clicked the test file and Word opened in 18.0 seconds flat. Quit Word and reopen the file again - same 4.4 seconds.

Conclusion - disabling WYSIWYG font and style menus does speed up the Word launch, but once you have it opened, or rather loaded into memory, it makes no difference.

The machine used in test is an Intel Core Duo 1.83 GHz MacBook Pro with 1 GB RAM, MS Word 2004 running in Rosetta. Times measured with a stop watch on my mobile phone, so you can give or take a couple of tenths to the results, but you get the picture.

Every now and then, my Macs begin to feel a little sluggish. There are many potential reasons why: I tend to run 8-10 applications all the time - and sometimes push 15 or more. This alone will bog down any Mac.

At other times, I realize that it's been weeks since I restarted the computer, and a simple restart will solve a lot of these woes.

When those don't speed things up, I've found a number of things I can do to encourage my Macs back to their youthful snappiness. Here are a few tips I've found for restoring my Macs to full speed without spending a penny.

Editor's note: None of these tips will improve your Mac's performance like more RAM, a faster hard drive, or a CPU upgrade would. They mostly have to do with reducing memory use by limiting the number of active processes and freeing up drive space, since a too full drive (especially past the 90% mark) can slow down your Mac. These are tips for getting the most out of the Mac you currently have without investing in any upgrades. dk

1. Clean out Startup Items

Some applications automatically (or when asked) set themselves as a "startup item", which causes them to open at every restart or login. You can find out what is in your startup items list by navigating to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items. You may be surprised at how many there are.

To remove them, simply select the item by clicking on its name and then hit the "minus" button at the bottom of the list. However, be sure that you know what you're removing; otherwise you may kill some critical function for the next time you restart.

2. Turn off Universal Access, Bluetooth, Speech Recognition, and Internet Sharing if You Don't Use Them

While System Preferences is open, take a look at a few other things. Apple has generously included a number of very useful features as preferences. Some, however, may not be useful to you, such as Universal Access (which offers help for visually and hearing impaired users) or Bluetooth (which allows certain devices to be used wirelessly). If you don't use these features, verify that they are turned off. This will save you some valuable RAM and processor resources.

3. Clean Out 'Other' System Preferences

Don't close System Preferences yet! Take a peek in the bottom section of your System Preferences window, labeled "Other". How many items are down there? Do you know what they do? Do you use what they do?

If there is a Preference Pane that you don't use or that you use only occasionally, disable it (either turn it "off" within the Preference Pane itself or remove it from the folder "~/Library/PreferencePanes").

4. Check Out What 'Build' Your Software Is

If you're running an Intel Mac, some of your software may be running under the "Rosetta" translator, which allows applications built for a PowerPC processor to run on an Intel chip. Rosetta is surprisingly efficient, but don't use it if you don't have to! There may be a patch for your favorite application that will upgrade it to a "universal build". By making sure you're running the latest version you can be confident you're not using Rosetta in vain (a utility like the App Update widget will help with this).

5. Clean Out Unnecessary Code

You're either running a PowerPC or Intel processor. You don't have to understand what this means, but you should know that, with both being options, most recent software comes programmed for both. But you don't need optimization for both - you only need optimization for your computer. Fortunately, there are utilities like XSlimmer (and Monolingual - more on this in a minute) that will strip out unnecessary code in your software. This not only helps the applications to run faster; it also saves hard drive space (sometimes a lot of it).

Editor's note: If you're using a PowerPC Mac and anticipate migrating to Intel, you might want to defer "slimming" your programs until you've made the switch. Otherwise all the programs you've slimmed for PowerPC will be running under Rosetta on your Intel Mac unless you take the time to do a fresh installation.

We've also hear horror stories of XSlimmer eviscerating Rosetta, so if you use it on an Intel Mac, be sure you don't strip the System frameworks. dk

6. Get Rid of Languages and Translations You Won't Use

Apple is very considerate in providing language localizations for many, many languages. But the chances are you aren't using the Catalan, Farsi, or Klingon language localizations on your Mac. And even if you are, you can strip out the other ones you aren't using and gain more efficiency and drive space using a utility like Monolingual.

By the way, the latest version of Monolingual will also strip out unnecessary architecture from your system - but not your applications - so it also performs a function similar to XSlimmer, yet different.

7. Cool Off

The new MacBooks got a bad rap at first for running very hot; the truth is, every Mac will run more efficiently with a cooler processor. Even though they've largely fixed the cooling issue in the MacBooks, I use a utility called Fan Control for mine, which allows me to change the threshold for when my MacBook's fan turns on and off. This allows me to keep my 'Book running cooler, which maximizes performance (though it does shorten battery life a little bit).

8. Evaluate Your Widgets

If you're using Mac OS X 10.4.x "Tiger", you have probably played around with the Dashboard. There are hundreds of useful widgets available, most for free - but there are many that you won't use, even if they are very helpful to others. This includes some that came with Tiger.

It takes RAM and processor power to keep these widgets running, even when Dashboard is hidden - so a judicious evaluation of what widgets you do use can boost computing efficiency nicely. Do you really need that Ski Conditions widget or the Clock widget running? If not, disable them to conserve RAM and processor use.

9. Keep an Eye on Activity Monitor

There may be other things hogging your processor's attention or sucking up RAM. How will you know about them? By using Apple's Activity Monitor, which comes with OS X. Activity Monitor will tell you about CPU usage, RAM requirements, virtual memory usage, and whether a given application is a PowerPC or Intel (Universal) build. Check it occasionally to see if there are any red flags - or keep it running for a few days (with one of the useful Dock icons or floating windows enabled) to keep an eye on when things are spiking.

10. Clean Off Your Hard Drive

It doesn't matter how large your hard drive is - eventually it will begin to fill up. Whether it is a huge iPhoto library, some videos you're editing, or simply accumulation of lots of "stuff", a full hard drive can cause problems. (One colleague couldn't figure out why her drive was so full - until she realized that she hadn't emptied her Trash in almost four years!)

You may not realize that Mac OS X (and the Classic Mac OS, too) uses the free space on your hard drive as "virtual memory", and it depends heavily on that virtual memory to run efficiently. If you're starting to feel sluggish, it may be because your drive is too full. There are lots of ways to clean it off - maybe a different article will cover that - but sometimes a little more free space is all you need to be a peak performance again.

11. Run OnyX

Whenever things get slow on my Mac, one of the "go to" solutions is to run a utility like OnyX. (There are several, many of them free; I've found Cocktail and TinkerTool to be other good and popular options.)

These utilities offer a variety of "jobs" and "repairs" to the system, and while some are skeptical about how much this is necessary, my experience has been that they do bring a good level of optimization back to my Macs. I tend to run the whole battery of tools - both the maintenance and the cleaning options in OnyX - at the same time, but you may prefer to set them to run as scheduled routines in a certain order.

By the way, check out fellow Low End Mac writer Charles Moore's words about the value of these routines in his recent article on Applelinks, Yes, Running System Maintenance Routines Really Can Help.

It's not quite like getting a brand-new Mac - after all, the "next new thing" will always be faster than the current offerings, and no one can keep up all the time. But giving some attention to these optimization tasks won't take long - probably 2-3 hours for all of these, if you did them at the same time - and it will pay big dividends in speed.

You might even put aside those thoughts of upgrading - at least for a few days!
