Cannot Mark Mail As Junk

For some reason, I cannot mark mail as junk on my MacPro - using 10.10.2 Yosemite. The junk mail icon in the toolbar is grayed out and if I control click on a message and select the mark option the option to mark as junk is grayed out. I also have an iMac the mail app seems to be working correctly on that computer - the junk mail icon is not grayed out and I can mark a mail as junk. Both computers are on the same version of Yosemite.
Thanks

You are welcome! Credit sterling r

Does Marking Mail as "Junk" Do Anything?

Of course making a "Rule" does work but if I mark an inbox mail as "Junk" does Mail learn from this or does it just move it to the Junk folder?

Mail learns and updates "Junk Mail" database.

Marking mail as junk without opening it?

Is there any way to mark mail that I can see by the subject line is junk, as junk without having to open it(highlight it)? As you can do using Thunderbird, you can click in the Junk column of a message that immediately marks it as junk and moves it to the junk mail folder without opening the message.

Make sure your inbox has the junk mail toggle button on its toolbar by using View menu -> Customize Toolbar.
Disable the Preview pane from the view menu.
It will not open any spam if you just click on it in the inbox, and select the spam toggling toolbar icon.
Navigating with arrow keys, you can't control what's the next message opened short of clearing all the messages you don't want to read from the mailbox first.

SpamAssassin 2010 issue - Marking mail as Junk

Hi Folks,
It looks like we have officially arrived in the future. There is a known issue with SpamAssassin adding up to 3.6 points to all mail sent after 2010. You will see an increase in false positives until your server has been updated. The solutions have been posted on the SA site.
http://spamassassin.apache.org/
Two options:
Update the included rules, or disable the offending rule.
You can exclude the rule by adding "score FHDATE_PAST20XX 0" without the quotes to the end of your /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf file.
I was able to update the built in rules with:
sudo sa-update --nogpg --updatedir /etc/mail/spamassassin --debug
You will most likely need to restart mail for either of these to take effect. Welcome to 2010, and a have a great year!
-Matt

Hi!
I've seen lots of false positives since 2010 and supposed I was affected by this problem. But the steps described didn't help me so far. I've been running sudo sa-update --nogpg --updatedir /etc/mail/spamassassin --debug
and I've been adding score FHDATE_PAST20XX 0 to /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf. Also I've followed the tips here http://osx.topicdesk.com/content/view/147/45/ and downloaded the .cf file into the spamassassin directory.
Reloaded amavis, nothing changed. Issued sudo serveradmin stop/start mail and postfix wouldn't load anymore. Restarted the server and found wrong permissions on amavisd. Postfix would'nt load anymore. Had to uncheck and check SMTP in SA to get mail running again. But the SPAM problem persisted.
Now I had to turn Junk mail filtering off in SA to prevent every mail from being marked as spam. Anyone has some tips for me?
Here is what I see in mail.log when mail is incoming:

Does marking mail as "junk" in iPad Mail actually do anything?

For a long time now, I have been using the iPad Mail facility to mark spam emails as "junk".
However, I'm not seeing any different behavior. The same old spam sources are sending me the same old emails which land in my inbox.
After over a year or two of using the Junk marker, I'm thinking it's a placebo. Am I wrong?

A lot of it depends on your mail provider. Usually they have to block junk mail at the server - however the junkers are rather ingenious. For example they spoof addresses, or make up one, usually gibberish like mworfhwoeihfowafnowanfwoei@ and then send their junk out and abandon the account, so blocking it is really a waste.
YOu may not want to continue marking at the iPad level but access your mail provider via safari, for example, for me I'd use safari to go to yahoo.com and mark it as spam there. Might help with some of it. Then again, junkers have been sending stuff out unimpeeded for years now. Short of abandoning your account there's really no way to stop it all.

Is there a way to mark mail as junk in Mail for iPad?

Using the latest iPad and software. Can't find the "jun

There is no junk mail folder on the iPad unless you have an IMAP email account in which case you would already see the folder in the mail app. Without an IMAP email account, you cannot create additional folders in the mail app.

Marking mail as Junk in Tiger Mail causes spinning beach ball

Hello Everyone,
Lately, if I press the Junk button (or the Not Junk button) it causes the spinning beach ball to come up for about one minute.
This happens in training or automatic mode, I've emptied the Junk mail folder, rebuilt the mailbox and discarded a plist file (but can't remember the name).
Any ideas?

Yep, it's working fine now that I got rid of the Junkmatcher stuff. Thanks very much!
One other question...I get spam that has blank subject headers, blank "To" fields and blank bodies.
Mail never recognizes it as spam, and it won't "learn" them either. How do I create a rule to filter these out?
Thanks,
David

What is the correct way to teach leopard server mail about junk mail?

All my clients are using apple mail and they basically taught their own client each their own way of filter junk mail. This works ok...but after upgrading to Leopard Server I think the server can be trained with junk mail data too? If so, anyone know how to set it up? I only see options to mark mail as junk mail on the server side, nothing about training.

I have done it on a mac os 10.4 server, it works great. Have a look here

I am getting bombarded with spam. I mark it as junk mail , but it does not stop!, I am getting bombarded with spam. I mark it as junk mail , but it does not stop!

You simply cannot do that, you must ignore it and delete it on daily basis.

Cannot delete item from junk mail folder in iPad?

Some items cannot be deleted from junk mail folder on iPad 2. It will not move to trash.

Have you tried swiping across the message in the preview pane when you open the junk folder instead of opening the email and trying to use the trash can icon?
If that will not work either, try rebooting your iPad and then see if you can delete the junk mail.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

How to mark as 'Not Junk' in Mail?

I no longer seem to have the option to mark mail as 'Not Junk' on my Mac.
I only have one mail account on my Mac (MobileMe) and recently some of my Facebook email notifications haven't been getting through. It turns out that a few of these emails are making their way to the Junk mail folder.
Unfortunately, I no longer get the option to mark the mail as 'Not Junk' when I open it. It doesn't matter if I open it from the Junk mail folder or move it first. Interestingly, the message isn't highlighted in brown even though it's in the Junk folder so it's as if MobileMe has decided it's junk rather than Mail on my Mac. Does that make sense?? I can't find a way to change Junk mail settings from the MobileMe web interface, though.
If anyone has any ideas, I'd be grateful!

Don't you just hate replying to your own posts??
It's not a very elegant solution (I am not a Mac expert) but I think I have come up with something.
I have created a rule in Mail>Preferences, such that if an incoming message contains the email address I want (e.g. from facebook), it will 'move' it to my MobileMe inbox. I reckon it should have gone to the inbox automatically anyway, but this seems to have worked.
Unless Apple have done something behind the scenes that I wasn't aware of?

Problem with marking mail as Not Junk in IMAP account

Hi,
I have an IMAP email account on Go Daddy that I forward all my other mail accounts for processing. I use Apple Mail to process this IMAP account and use Mail.app's Junk filter to move Junk mail to the Junk mailbox. This Junk mailbox is mapped in Mail.app to my Go Daddy Bulk Mail IMAP folder, and the Trash and Inbox are also mapped to their respective folders of this IMAP account's Mail.app is set to "Enable junk mail filtering" and "Move it to the junk mailbox".
When junk mail comes in, Mail.app correctly identifies the mail as junk and moves it to the Junk folder. However, if I find a message that Mail.app misidentified as junk and I attempt to mark it as Not Junk, the message gets a Not Junk status (not brown anymore), but the message stays in the Junk folder; Mail.app does not move it back into the Inbox.
I would assume that since both the Inbox and Junk mail (Bulk Mail) folders are IMAP and on the same account, that upon marking the message as Not Junk, this mail should be moved back into the Inbox, just like under POP.
Am I mistaken about the operation of Junk mail under IMAP? Should marking a message as Not Junk move it automatically to the Inbox? Do I have my folders and options set right? Should I possibly use a 3rd party Spam filter such as SpamSieve (where I can control its actions via Applescript)?
Thanks for any info.
Mike

Ah Ernie, I think you found out my "problem".
Before I upgraded to SN, I used SpamSieve to manage my POP SPAM. When I changed to SN, I did away with SpamSieve and POP, and used IMAP and Mail.app's Junk filtering. SpamSieve, since its "Mark As Junk" and "Mark As Not Junk" functionality uses Applescript, it must've moved the Not Junk message back to the inbox.
Thanks for the pointer; I may change back to SpamSieve to get back that functionality.
Mike
