Help classifying some mail as Junk mail

I keep getting mail that doesn't have a subject or message body, also the sender address's are always different. Can anyone tell me how to classify these as Junk Mail? Thanks.
Here are some examples from this morning: All of which have no subject or messege body. Thus nothing for me to take and classify as junk.

Most likely these are spam with perhaps a graphic as the body of the "message."
More and more Mac people are receiving these if you have been reading these particular posts on this very topic. This is one main reason I have come back to the discussion area.
You might try to find a commonality (if this can be found) among the emails, if there is any text at all within the body, or in the "View Source."
I have resorted to making a rule for "Sender is not in my Address Book" and "Sender is not in my Previous Recipients" to be declared as "Message is Junk Mail" and to delete them.
Hope this sheds the light you need, Paula

  • HELP FOR SOME MAIL app PROBLEMS IN MAVERICKS!

    As many of you, I was having great difficulty opening Apple's Mail app in Mavericks. The type of problem I was having is this:
    When trying to open Mail for the first time in Mavericks, I would get the message that the database needed to be upgraded; the process would start, but Mail would become unresponsive. The progress bar stopped in the middle and only a forced quit could close the application.
    I noticed the following:
    The actual files and folders in User/Library/Mail/V2, remained unchanged from the time before my attempt to open Mail, and for me no other changes were made.
    I took the opportunity to move a copy of the V2 Folder to my Desktop for safekeeping. Trying to open Mail without this folder just caused the app to ask me to designate my accounts anew, which I had no intention of doing.
    I then tried adding back items into the empty V2 folder.  Adding back all of the mail accounts and mailboxes except for the Mail Data folder had no effect, except that a new Mail Data folder was created, and the Mail app still asked me to designate my accounts anew.
    I then added back the first half of my old Mail Data folder contents and allowed the copy process to overwrite the files in the newMail Data folder; there was still a problem.
    Finally, I took the remaining files and one folder from my old Mail Data folder and added that to the new Mail Data folder. When I was asked to relpace matching folders and files I did that and whatever was left untouched by the file copy, I let stay there.
    The Yellow taged files were the first half I transferred back.
    As long as you have a protected copy of your Mail folder, you can try variations of the above. This is what worked for me, and I hope it is helpful to some or all of you.

    Finally I've figured out what happened for not syncing anymore what I did on the Mail.app mailbox of my Professional Exchange account.
    So, the problem was the MailTags plugin: http://www.indev.ca/MailTags.html
    I don't know if it was after the Trial Period that went rogue, or this has happen since the install, but when I've uninstalled it, it worked just fine.
    Hope this help someone with the same problem.

  • Urgent help needed with un-removable junk mail that froze Mail!!

    Urgent help needed with un-removable junk mail that froze Mail?
    I had 7 junk mails come in this morning, 5 went straight to junk and 2 more I junked.
    When I clicked on the Junk folder to empty it, it froze Mail and I can't click on anything, I had to force quit Mail and re-open it. When it re-opens the Junk folder is selected and it is froze, I can't do anything.
    I repaired permissions, it did nothing.
    I re-booted my computer, on opening Mail the In folder was selected, when I selected Junk, again, it locks up Mail and I can't select them to delete them?
    Anyone know how I can delete these Junk mails from my Junk folder without having to open Mail to do it as it would appear this will be the only solution to the problem.

    Hi Nigel
    If you hold the Shift key when opening the mail app, it will start up without any folders selected & no emails showing. Hopefully this will enable you to start Mail ok.
    Then from the Mail menus - choose Mailbox-Erase Junk Mail . The problem mail should now be in the trash. If there's nothing you want to retain from the Trash, you should now choose Mailbox- Erase Deleted Messages....
    If you need to double-check the Trash for anything you might want to retain, then view the Trash folder first, before using Erase Junk Mail & move anything you wish to keep to another folder.
    The shift key starts Mail in a sort of Safe mode.

  • Help with e-mail getting stuck in Mail outbox

    I recently ran into a problem where all the e-mails I tried to send in Mail got stuck in my outbox and were not sent.  After reading posts on the Apple Support Communities website and doing some troubleshooting of my own within Mail, I reached a solution to the problem. When I first realized I could not send e-mail using a certain e-mail account of mine, since all e-mails were getting stuck in the outbox folder, I checked my available servers.  I did this by opening the preferences window, clicking on the accounts tab, then clicking on the outgoing server pull-down menu.  In the pull-down, I saw that the server I wanted to use was listed as "offline."  To fix this problem and get the server back online so that I could send e-mail (as I could with my other account that was not listed as "offline"), I selected the outgoing server pull-down once again.  In the menu, I selected "edit server list."  On the page that pops up afterward, I highlighted the server I wanted to use.  This way, I could see the information associated with the server.  With this information in front of me, I realized that for some reason there was no password entered in the password field even though the "Authentication" setting was set to password.  I entered my password associated with the e-mail account I was having problems with and "walla."  The server was back online.  I could send e-mails again without them getting stuck in the outbox!
    This problem popped out all of a sudden for me and got me quite frustrated.  I hope that this brief walk-through helps out some people out there having a similar issue.  Best of luck!

    That's one of the best walkthrough's i've read, thankyou!
    However, I often have email stuck in the out box. And that's not comfortable… or good for communicating to clients.
    In the hope that this may help someone:
    Internet Connection Problem
    A bit random but I found that by keeping an eye on the networked computers or the Dropbox icon tells me the health of my network or the internet connection that's causing a problem and all of the time, it's the Ethernet.
    If networked computers are up and on the internet, but my PM isn't: 
    Solution:
    1) Refresh the DHCP license.
    2) Switch off the ethernet under system preferences/network then switch on again to refresh the IP addres.
    Every time I do this, I find Apple Mail reconnecting straight away. I don't know why this happens.

  • Change some mail from one computer to anothe

    I hope that some one can help this old man (81) I am trying to send some mail (inbox) from my G4 QuickSilver 2002 (OS X 4..1 to my lap top G4 PowerBook 17" OS X 4.1.1 and still keep what mail I have on the PowerBook, than send what I am missing from the PowerBook to the QuickSilver 2002.
    I have gone into the ~/Library/mail on both computers but am unable to find any that mach up with what I have on either computers, have also looked in Root/library/mail and no luck there.
    The reason I need this is that I will be bedridden soon and I have a hook up from the QuickSilver to my PowerBook
    I hope that I haven't confuse any one wirh the above information.
    Thank for you for all your time and trouble and have a good day, Any day I wake up and see the sun is a good day for me.

    Hi Norbert, sorry to hear about the "bedridden", I hope it's temporary!
    Make a copy of this folder on each computer, then transfer to the other one...
    ~/Library/Mail
    Ten in Mail>File>Import>from Mail for OSX, click continue, then select that whole Mail copy folder, click choose, give it a bit and it should show you all your Mailboxes to choose which you want to import.

  • Some email is downloaded into Mail and some mail is left on the POP server

    Hi All,
    I have a weird problem where some email is downloaded into Mail and some mail is not.
    If I log into our ISP's webmail system, there are a whole bunch of emails that are just sitting there. These emails have not ever been downloaded to Mail.
    I've tried to create a duplicate account, but Mail doesn't allow the same username & password in more than one account, which is kind of frustrating - I get an error stating that these user details are already in use.
    Our ISP says it's the client machine, as no one else in the office is having this issue.
    The connection doctor can connect to the servers and 30 or 40 emails are downloaded to Mail each day - just some emails don't.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    OSX 10.4.6
    Mail 2.0.7
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Powerbook 12"   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   Mail 2.0.7

    Assuming the account is a POP type account, quit Mail first and using the Finder go to Home > Library > Mail > this POP account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account) > MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2.
    Delete the MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2 file and empty the Trash.
    Launch Mail and a new MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2 file will be created automatically by Mail within the account named folder.
    If successful, any previously downloaded messages that remain on the server will be downloaded again along with any messages available on the server not yet downloaded by Mail.
    The reason you cannot create two accounts in Mail with the same user name and incoming mail server is based on the account and associated mailbox filing structure within the Mail folder at Home > Library > Mail. When creating an account in Mail, an account named folder is created at the first level within the Mail folder named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account.
    In addition, if this were possible I don't think it would resolve much by having identical accounts created in Mail with both accounts checking the incoming mail server at the same time.

  • Having Some Mail issues on Apple Mail 5.2

    Hi All - Having some mail issues lately with my gmail account Imap set up.
    I can receive mail but when trying to send mail it pops up with the follwoing:
    "Can not send message using the server smtp.gmail.com"
    I tried deleting the gmail account on my iMac and setting it up again.  in the set up  It gives me two choices as an outgoing server:
    smtp.gmail.com and just Gmail.   If I choose Gmail I can send the messages, but is this secure?  I've always used smtp.gmail.com for outgoing without any problems.
    Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Mark

    Thanks for responding BGreg - Yes everything looks OK under the advanced tab (see below)  I never had any
    "Red Dots" in connection doctor on the old smtp.gmail.com but it wouldn't work.  The new outgoing server - labeled merely Gmail works and appears to be the same as smtp.gmail.com, but I've never seen this in the past - it's always been called smtp.gmail.com   I wonder if Google changed the name?

    You might try the following steps:
    Restart the device by holding down the on/off button until the power down slider appears.
    Try entering your password in another location (i.e. when you are using a different wifi network)
    Reset all settings (settings > general > reset), this resets some of your settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It does not remove any of your data.
    Try signing out of iCloud and back in (only if find my phone is disabled)
    If this doesn’t help your best option may be to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.

  • New install, some mails in old install, can i get them?

    Possibly I have not looked closely enough but I can't find this...
    10.4.11 Server OD went haywire, all mail files should be intact. Clients are 10.5.1.
    Built a new 10.4.11 Server on another partition. We have one account that receives real email and the virus/junk/notjunk accounts for Spamtrainer. There were some mails which were not able to be retrieved from the server by the single mail user before the OD lost its grip on reality (probably my fault).
    Can I get the mails in the old server partition over to the new server partition so that the mail user can download them into the Mail client in the userhome?
    How might I go about this? I didn't want to snoop around too much for fear of losing the messages.
    -Erich

    Erich,
    you can copy the message files from the old mailstore to the new one (default location is /var/spool/imap/user/username). Message files are numbered files ending in a dot.
    You will need to reconstruct the mailbox after doing so and may loose read/unread flags.
    Also make sure you do not overwrite message files by the same number.
    After copying, run "mailbfr -o" and "mailbfr -m username"

  • Why is some mail going to bulk folder?

    I have an ATT mail account (Yahoo account too.)  I started to become concerned about email that I wasn't receiving (folks swore they sent it.)  I noticed my iPhone has bulk mail folder (Mac and iPad do not) and lo and behold, tons of email that I have been missing.  What is this folder?  Why does some mail go there and not others?  How can I either customize this folder (to get the emails in my "regular" email folder or get rid of it?

    Just drag the divider line between the preview pane and the message list all the way to the edge so the preview is completely closed. Selected messages will open in a new window with a double-click or the return key.

    You can't do it directly on the iPad. If your email account is setup as IMAP, create the folders on the server (either in Outlook or webmail) and then the folders will appear in iPad Mail.
