Cannot move junk email to Bulk Mail folder in Yahoo, greyed out

I've searched but so far no luck. Ever since I added my two Yahoo email accounts on my iPhone 4, I cannot seem to send junk email from my inbox to my Bulk Mail folder, it is greyed out. First off, I've confirmed that the Bulk Mail folder on my iPhone is the same as my Spam folder in Yahoo mail on the desktop. I can see the same emails in both folders. Anyone have the same experience and found a way to correct this, or is this just a Yahoo limitation?

I am having the same problem, but I'm not very clear on how to follow the steps.
went to my yahoo account in IOS;
hit edit, hit "new mailbox" at the bottom right corner of the screen;
entered a name;
below that, it has "Mailbox Location", I opened it;
it list all my personal folders, I am stuck here.
How do I "point the mailbox location to the Bulk Mail folder", as instructed? Am I missing a step?
This is for iPhone 4S, with the latest released version. Thank you!

Bulk mail folder on new ipad

My new ipad has a folder under Mail called "Bulk Mail." I clicked on this and saw several emails that I hadn't rec'd on my Macbook. What does Bulk Mail mean, and why are these emails on my ipad but not on my Macbook? The emails are from a friend, and we had been talking about my not receiving them on my computer. Yet, here they are on my ipad. What gives?

My email acct on my Macbook does not have a Bulk Mail folder. That's why I was unfamiliar with the term.
I will see what I can do with the spam filters on my Macbook's Mail. As I recall, though, you first have to receive an email before you can label it Not Junk. I'm not even receiving my friend's emails on the Macbook, and I don't want to have to check both the Macbook and the ipad to make sure I haven't missed anything.
Thanks for steering me in the right direction.

Does yahoo push not work for bulk mail folder?

I don't seem to be having any problems with yahoo push in my Inbox, but it doesn't seem to be working for my bulk mail. I have to actually go into my bulk mail folder for it to update. Is this normal? Thanks!

That is normal activity. Works the exact same way on tests phones we have set up. Bulk/junk mail is not something that all would like getting pushed through.

Deleting bulk mail folder

How do I delete the bulk mail folder in my yahoo email on my iPad2?

From what I see you can't delete the bulk folder.
However if you sign in to your web mail and look at settings you can select that the spam mail not be sent.
I haven't checked another thing out but it may work.
When I signed up my emails with a new imac, I noted that it created an imap program rather than a pop3.
Maybe deleting your accounts and then setting them up as a pop3 and smtp, you might avoid these bulk folders.

Hi Macmonter,
i have seen the complete post here and realised that your answer should have been selected as most useful, unfortunately Charlie7 didn't tried it and hence it was ignored. I still appreciate your experiemnt.
I am pretty new to this community thing, but i did a lot of experiments with Mail application and hence i m writing this post specifically which might be helpful to others. I use Yahoo Mail (only) for all online services like Facebook, G+, LinkedIn, Twitter etc. all possible. It's my central ID now and i cant change it any more. Going online and checking yahoo mail is sometimes very resource taking hence i decided to use mail client like Mail.app. Let me tell you that i personally tried all other mail apps including thunderbird but noticed one very imp thing that when u use Mail.app then your mails 7 their attachments are automatically indexed by Mac OS which is very important feature and when you search something then it searches within your mail also, this is really awesome. This will not happen if u use thunderbird or any other mail client. Also you get to use free Cloud with auto sync. Now this also tells you that I am stuck with 2 (idiotic) giants : Yahoo & Mac OSX Mail.
The thing is, Yahoo now uses IMAP (prior it was POP). IMAP has many advantages over POP for sure. Basically when you use multiple devices, filters and folders and want all those things in Sync. Google for more comparison, but let me tell you IMAP is really good. Now the problem is, Yahoo has powerful spam engine but it calls it 'Bulk Mail'. Apple also has powerful Spam Engine but they call it 'Junk'. So some how you have make apple understand that they are the same words, which is suggested by Mr. Macmonter which is really a great & very useful thing. If you mark 'Bulk Mail' folder as 'Use As Junk' then you are done. All messages from Bulk folder will be routed to Junk and you will see common Junk Folder.
I know there are people who dont want to see that Junk at all! And for that this is smart trick :
Configure your Yahoo as IMAP (which is default). Clear all messages from online Bulk Mail folder using browser login. Then Sync so all your online folders are downloaded if any and all your mails. Basically this is for people who has created online filters and folders (i have 12 folders)
Once your account is in Sync, disconnect. Export all your folders one by one slowly. It takes times if you have many mails and attachments. Once this is done successfully, DELETE this account!
Now create Yahoo POP account. Apple dont allow you to do this now, but there is trick. You will have to give wrong user-pass and shift to manual settings and there you can give correct server config which should be POP settings of Yahoo. And take this account online.
In online Yahoo Mail, set 'Do not download spam' under POP and Forwarders. So this will only start downloading Inbox messages. Remember POP dont see any other folders, hence we removed all filters and downloaded all folders. IT will download all mails coming to Inbox filtering Spam. So you never see spam. If you want to see some then you can go online periodically and check manually.
Now import your recently exported folders in this account and create filters and rules in Mail.app for routing of incoming messages for particular messages.
This gives you all old messages, pure inbox from yahoo, 2 way spam filter yahoo & Mac, and local routing of messages with index, smart folders and cloud! Only thing you dont get here is Sync with multiple devices if you have iMac, Air & iPhone. But there i suggest you to keep one of them as center for downloads and others should keep just 15days old copy. This will also save your resources!
Enjoy..

Bulk Mail folder

I have just been migrated to BT Mail. Is it possible to delete the (Yahoo) Bulk Mail folder now that my spam goes to the new BT Spam folder? What is the Y Conversation folder? I have not noticed it before.

Have you set up the account on your smartphone email app as IMAP? If so then you should be able to sync with the Spam folder just like the Inbox and all the other folders on the server. Whether or not the app auto-syncs at regular time intervals and you get notifications for new messages may well depend on the particular settings your app has for the account. You can usually choose to change such things on a folder by folder basis through the app settings, though it might depend on which app you are using.
Unless I'm mistaken my Android smartphone email app (K-9) notifies me when any new messages arrive, including Spam.
The standard five server folders for your account are Inbox, Sent, Drafts, Spam, Trash. You can add other personal server folders if you wish to, the simple way being through the webmail interface. If you add/remove personal server folders you might need to manually refresh the folder list on the app.

Hi - I cannot upload my emails through the mail icon. The first time I tried it only loaded very old emails, I then tried the whole process again and it has not imported a single email. I use hotmail, and have had no problems with my iPhone or iPad.

Hello, do you mean Download?
In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the message?
Then click the Show Details button & Check again.

How can I empty the Junk Mail folder in Yahoo without opening the messages?

You can swipe across them on the left and delete them unread. Unfortunately there is no 'delete all' option in mail.
Or you can just ignore them on your iPad and empty the junk folder when/if you access your mail online.

I've just updated and installed Mountain Lion. I've clicked for iCloud for Mail. The correct information in the email address, Full name and Incoming mail server panes are greyed out, and I can get no further in bring my iCloud a/c online. Any ideas? Thanks.

They are grayed out because they are automatically set up whey you check Mail in System Preferences. If you didn't do that, go back and do so and your iCloud email account will be set up automatically.

Cannot move multiple emails

Something weird has started to happen. When I either move a bunch of emails to a separate folder on the sidebar or delete multiple messages, they don't move but stay in the inbox but are greyed out. I can move/delete them individually, though. Why can I not move/delete multiple emails? Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.

What type of email account are these emails coming from? IMAP, POP? If you open up the Activity Monitor window, does it show Mail as processing your move and just getting hung up, or is there no activity?
