Junk mail arrives in iPhone 5s mail app but not MBP mail app

This is a strange observation and I am wondering if others have experienced this...
My iPhone is a 5s running iOS v7.1.  When I access my email accounts via my iPhone each day, I am greeted with a slew of junk mail on a daily basis (typically Monday thru Friday).  Not a new thing right?  However, when I access those same email accounts from my MacBook Pro I never receive any junk mail (typically Saturday and Sunday).  In fact, junk mail never even appears in my Junk folder on the MBP.  Now, during the week when I do receive the junk mail on my iPhone, I wait until I return home and open the mail app on my MBP whereupon all of the junk mail received on my iPhone NOW shows up in Mail on my MBP THEN automatically moves into the junk folder.  So, my suspicion is that spammers have now determined how to identify mail access between devices (iPhone vs. MBP).  I am guessing they may be capitalizing the the inability of the iPhone mail app to filter junk mail.
Am I imagining this or has anyone else experienced this scenario?  Many thanks.

Hello rayalamx
If the Mail app is not opening, then I would remove the email accounts. Open mail to see if that resolves the issue and then start adding the accounts back in.

  • My computer recognizes my old iPhone, iPad and iPod but NOT my new iPhone. What the heck???

    My computer recognizes my old iPhone, iPad and iPod but NOT my new iPhone what the heck? It was fine last week, now nothing

    When you plug in your phone go to the sidebar on the left, select the device, and select the menu you want to sync.
    For example at the top there is summary, info, apps, movies, etc.
    If you wanted to sync movies go under there and pick and chose the movies you want on the device.
    Let's assume you are doing that and syncing is not going properly. Then first double check that there is a checkmark in the top left of that page that says sync movies
    If there is uncheck and then hit apply. Then it will take all the movies off. Now re-check everything and hit apply.

  • ICloud Photo Library: How do I transfer photos and videos only from my iPhone to my iPad but not from my iPad to my iPhone?

    I had iCloud photo libraey turned on on both my iPad and iPhone. As said by the feature, photos and videos were being transferred automatically from each device to each other. I have a 64GB iPad Air 2 and my iPhone 5 only has 16GB of storage so I am lacking much more space on my iPhone than my iPad. I was wondering if there was a way to transfer photos only from my iPhone to my iPad but not from my iPad to my iPhone. Would turning off iCloud Photo library on my iPad do the trick? Thanks hope someone can help me out.

    iCloud Photo Library keeps all of your photos in the Cloud which you then can selectively download. So, unless you download the iPad photos, they are not going to be taking up any room on your iPhone:
    How does iCloud Photo Library save space on my device?
    If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your iOS device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. iCloud Photo Library stores the original, high-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and can keep lightweight, device-optimized versions on each of your devices. As long as you have enough storage, recent photos and videos that you access the most will stay on your device at full resolution.
    You can turn on Optimize [device] Storage from Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera > iCloud Photo Library on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. You need an Internet connection to access an original photo or video that’s stored only in iCloud.

    one fine day yesterday, my i phone just hangup lost all contact detail. The screen only show a picture depicting cable connection to iTune. I have tried to restore iphone to factory setting but not working .  May i know how to proceed to recover lost contacts.

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

  • Why only videos on iphone can be deleted but not the music or sync photos?

    Why only videos on iphone can be deleted but not the music or sync photos?

    Because that is the design of the iphone.
    Music and photos are added/deleted via the sync process. 

  • HT1386 iPhone Appears in Windows but not in iTunes

    iPhone Appears in Windows but not in iTunes

    If you are running Windows Vista or later, open up your Start Menu and search for "Services."
    Click on the icon that looks like a smal gear.
    Once you have that window open, Look for the service that says "Apple Mobile Device"
    Once you click on it once, to your left of the window, click "Start this service"
    After you have done that, with the same service still highlighted, Right click on it then click "Properties"
    Once that menu is open, Find the drop down box and make sure the start up is set to "Automatic"
    After these steps are completed, you should have no problem with your iPod Touch, or iPhone not showing up in the iTunes window.
    With regards,
    Jeremy.

  • HT4865 I don't have enough storage space on my iPhone 4S to download the new OS7 so how do I save it to iCloud and remove it from my iPhone to make room but not loose the deleted stuff from iCloud?

    I don't have enough storage space on my iPhone 4S to download the new OS7 so how do I save it to iCloud and remove it from my iPhone to make room but not loose the deleted stuff from iCloud?

    You can't use iCloud like that.  It isn't a general file storage service; it's designed to sync data across your devices. 
    Some options are to sync all your music or other media off your device, then sync it back on after you update.  Another is to import your photos to your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then sync them back to your phone after you update by putting them in a folder, then selecting the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.

    The person that found them has deleted them on the phone so you iCal is gone is what I can figure.

    how can i transfer my calendar on my iphone to my PC? I have downloaded icloud and itunes. My contacts on my iphone have been transferred but not my calendar.

    Did you fail to maintain a backup copy?
    If so, then you can buy a third party program to extract the music not purchased from itunes.
    Itunes purchases can be transferred to your computer:  File>Transfer Purchases.

  • IMAP Mail question (d/l to MacPro but not MBP)?

    i have a ton of email accounts and have a really dumb question.
    i am accessing all of these accounts via IMAP on my Mac Pro my MacBook Pro and my iPhone. this is great since i can delete emails from my Mac Pro where i work a lot of the time and they will no longer clutter up my mail on my other devices. it obviously has other benefits in that i can see it all the same on all devices.
    i am wondering if there is a setting in Mail that downloads the email to my LOCAL HARD DRIVE and if so if i can check this for the Mac Pro but not for the MacBook Pro. i have 2 TB HD's on the Mac Pro but the laptop is running out of space with just 250 GB.
    i know this database is a big honking spacehog so i just got to thinking and wanted to ask.
    also, does anyone know if having Thunderbird email client and/or Sparrow email client on both of these computers causes large databases for each of these software programs as well? if so i should probably also delete all of this off the laptop.
    TIA

    Yes.
    In Mail->Preferences->Accounts, select the IMAP account you're concerned with.  In the advanced tab, there is a "keep copies of messages for online viewing" setting.  Choose "All messages and their attachments" on your Mac Pro, and choose something else that's a better fit in the list on your MacBook Pro.
    Also, yes, every IMAP client has its own local database.

  • Contacts sync with iPhone, iPad & MacBook Pro but not calendar won't

    OK, so on my iPhone and iPad I have software V 6.1.3, my MacBook Pro 10.8.3. I can get contacts to sync with all 3 but the calendar nothing wants to sync.

    OK, I made a change to calendar on MacBook Pro and it syncd with iPad & the iPhone. I deleted it on the iPad and it syncd with the MacBook but not the phone. So apparently the problem is between the iPhone & the iPad.
