A unified Junk mailbox in Mail?

Just wondering if it is possible to create a unified mailbox for Junk folders. It's strange that you can assign them from Mailbox menu -> Use this folder for -> Junk, which would normally work if you had just one account, but I have two...

  • I inadvertently removed the junk mailbox from Mail.app in SL, how can I recreate / restore it ?

    Hi,
    Well, the title says it all : I inadvertently removed the junk mailbox from Mail.app in SL,
    it still is spresent in my ~/library/mail folder, how can I recreate / restore it in mail.app ?
    Since I have a fair number of email accounts, intelligent mailboxes, rules and archive folder, I really don't want to rebuild everything. And, no, I can't use time machine to restore it.
    All help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi AdamKB, sorry for late follow-up.
    What I lost is the "container" that groups all junk mailboxes in one place in Mail, like is done for all the inboxes.
    The problem is that I lost visibility on all junk mailboxes. It is only a visibility problem because the junk mailboxes are still present locally for my POP accounts and remotely for may IMAP accounts, I justdon't see them anymore in Mail's interface.

  • ICloud Junk mailbox contains mail that is not junk

    I think this started when I upgraded to Mountain Lion, but I'm not sure. Recently, a Junk mailbox has appeared among my iCloud mailboxes. What is annoying is that quite often, messages are sent to this mailbox that I have not marked as junk. Indeed, some of the messages sent there have been important. I've tried deleting the mailbox, but it keeps reappearing, with messages that are not junk. Any idea how I change this behavior?
    Thanks in advance

    Try changing the Junk filtering in your Mail/Preferences/Junk Mail. For the messages already there, you will have to mark them as not Junk.

  • Junk Mailbox in Mail 6.5

    Don't know when or how this happened, but I can no longer access the contents of the Junk mailbox. There's no command or button anywhere in the current interface for access. There remains just the "thumb down" icon next to the trash icon. I know the Junk mailbox has at least one item because a recent search revealed one item located in Junk.
    Appreciated.

    You can try this.

  • Getting Mail to stop putting everything in the 'junk' mailbox

    I upgraded from Tiger to Leopard several months ago and ever since then, Mail puts some incoming mail in the junk mailbox, even though it isn't junk, or marked as junk. I've tried moving the 'not junk' mail to it's proper account folder, but the next piece of mail that comes from that addressee (usually from support forums and other email alerts) still goes into the junk mailbox. Iirc, in Tiger one could move the mail mistakenly sent to the junk folder from junk to it's proper place and Mail would 'learn' to send it there instead.
    Is there a Preference that got changed when I upgraded or something, and if so, what is it? About half my mail is now ending up in the junk box.

    To answer your first question, yes, I have enable junk mail filtering on.
    I'll try turning that off first.
    Edit: I tried that, but it removed the junk icons attached to the 3 pieces of actual junk mail. I have 28 pieces of email that Mail put in the junk folder. 3 of them are junk and marked accordingly. None of the rest are marked as junk and shouldn't be there, so how do I create a filter telling Mail that mail not marked as junk not be put in the junk folder?
    I also have the following marked in the junk mail part of Mail's preferences:
    When junk mail arrives:
    Move it to the junk mailbox
    The following types of messages are exempt from junk mail filtering:
    Sender of message is in my Address Book
    Sender of message is in my Previous Recipients

  • Why doesn't mail put my junk mail in my junk mailbox

    Since I started using 10.9.2, the Mail program has misbehaved much less and I have been able to return to using it from Gmail. However, it puts all my junk mail (which it SAYS is junk mail) in my Inbox instead of the junk mailbox - even though I have instructed it in Preferences to move it to the Junk mailbox. Why? What can I do to correct this?

    Can't anyone come up with an answer to this question? I'd be very grateful for any ideas.

  • I'm not receiving any mail into the Junk Mailbox

    Hi
    I had a problem with the ports of the 2 accounts that I have set up in Mail (one of those is mac.com) due to an excess of space used. I tried several options and it finally it worked. As a result, a week later I realised that I was not receiving any mail into the Junk Mailbox... I don't know if it is related to the orher problem, maybe not.
    Essentially I am no longer receiving any junk mail at all - and no mail that is even doubtful (ie from an unknown address). The mails are not showing up even online via MobileMe ... so I have no idea where they are!
    Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    Yes, I'm the author of the form and I expected the generic notification to be sent to that email but none is coming through.  I also see that there is a place on the settings page to enter a custom notification email but that is grayed out unless I upgrade.  I just want at least one, generic email to be sent to me so that I can know when a user submits a form.
    Here's my screen shots:

  • Mail does not move Junk mail to the Junk mailbox.

    I use  OS X 10.9.3, Mail Version 7.3 (1878.2) and have created the rule that if Message is Junk, Move it to the Junk mailbox, but it does not work. Junk messages remain in the Inbox, even after I select messages and Apply rules. I have tried marking and unmarking as Junk, and then they disappear, but this is obviously not a sustainable longterm solution. Any other suggestions?

    Hi Jeff, are you saying the Inbox with Junk is inside the Junk Folder, or is this a different account?
    First Quit Mail, look in the finder for those IMAP folders inside your...
    Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/IMAPaccount folder, move them where they should be in the Finder.
    Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup),  it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
    Move this Folder to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
    Move this file to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
    Reboot.
    If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup

  • I cannot highlight more than one e-mail.  I am concerned about this when I am in the Junk mailbox.  I do not want to open any e-mails that are in this mailbox.

    I cannot highlight more than one e-mail.  I am concerned about this when I am in the Junk mailbox.  I do not want to open any e-mails that are in this mailbox.

    Two thoughts:
    1.  You never need to open any emails in the junk mailbox.  You can simply do Mailbox > Erase Junk Mail from Mail's menu.
    2.  What happens if you hold the shift key after highlighting the first in a series of emails, then click the second one with the shift key depressed?  That should hightlight both.

  • Mail puts all mail in the Junk mailbox

    I've been working fine with Mail for years. All of a sudden it started putting all incoming mail in the Junk mailbox, ignoring the filtering and sorting rules which I have set up in Preferences/Rules. I've poked around Preferences and everything seems to be as it was. I got rid of a lot of old mail. I rebuilt all my mailboxes. It's a pain to manually sort all my mail and even when I mark mail as "Not Junk" it still comes as Junk the next time.
    Frustrating! Any ideas???

    I ended up REMOVING the junk folder from the list of folders on the left. When mail arrives that IS junk, I mark it junk, then select "move to junk folder (again)" and off it goes. I find this much better than to have all my mail go to junk and I have to UNjunk it and move it to the appropriate folder.
    I wrote to Apple, but have not received a response -- I'm NOT holding my breath!

  • Junk mail returns after deleting the item in the "Junk mailbox" and "Trash".  Is there a way to permanently block the sender?

    Junk mail returns after deleting the item in the "Junk mailbox" and "Trash".  Is there a way to permanently block the sender?
    I have deleted the item multiple times both on my Mac mini and my touch and 5 minutes later it is back in my Junk mailbox.  The item will not return to the Junk mailbox until it is deleted from the trash.

    You can create a Rule

  • Junk "mailbox" keeps appearing in Mac Mail 3.6 (OSX 10.5.8) Any ideas???

    Hello all. I am a MobileMe user, synced mail between 2 macs, iPhone, & iPad. In my Mac Mail prefs I have I DO NOT have junk mail filtering checked, I want everything (spam or not) to go to my inbox. There is no junk mail brown paper bag icon on my sidebar. The problem is every once and a while an email will come through and there will then be a folder(mailbox) created called "junk" and that email will show up in that mailbox, that I did not create. I can read the mail, delete it, or do whatever I need to do with it, then delete this "junk" mailbox from my sidebar, but then it might happen again the following week, or not for several months.
    Kinda frustrating since it should be set up to put everything in my inbox regardless of sender. Why does my system automatically create this mailbox?
    Again there is no brown paper bag on my sidebar, Mac Mail just creates this junk mailbox that shows up right along with my other .mac mailboxes.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Steve

    This happens to me too, usually only when I log into my mobileme account via a web browser (which I rarely do), but just a few minutes ago it happened spontaneously when Apple thought some legit mail was junk.
    I also sync between two macs and an iPhone (no iPad), and I have junk mail turned off wherever possible (can't find a "turn off junk" option on the iPhone). One other thing, along with a junk folder, I also get a deleted messages and a drafts folder. After checking to make sure they are all empty, I just delete them on whichever mac I am using.
    Looks like there is a bug in Apple's software where in some cases they ignore the settings in preferences, then they see that there are not folders that they deem are necessary so they create them for you.
    I've tried a few different ideas on how to deal with this, mostly by turning on junk mail and making some rules to put everything in my inbox, but none of them worked well. I think we'll just have to live with this bug. I've seen lots of postings on problems with junk mail for years now, and Apple doesn't seem to be doing anything about it.

  • Why when I send mail from Mac to PC. it's always run to junk mailbox

    Hi all Mac gurus,
    I'm facing problem with sending mail from my mac to my colleagues who's using outlook in PC. I don't why my e-mail just go to their junk mailbox.
    Is there any way to avoid this problem?
    Many thanks for all answers.

    The determination of whether a message is junk or not is a function of the receiving email program or their ISP. There's little you can do. The recipients will need to configure their junk mail detection to allow your email and not classify it as junk.

  • Unified Junk Folder dont show Yahoo Bulk Mail even when manually added

    I have set View-Folders to Unified. This shows single Junk folder with Accounts name as its sub-folders.
    The Left side pane listing is somewhat like this:
    Junk
    - GMAccount1
    - GMAccount2
    All accounts are IMAP accounts.
    I also have Yahoo IMAP account where Junk folder is named as Bulk Mail.
    By default thunderbird does not consider it as Junk folder so what I do is:
    1) Right click on top-level unified junk folder and go to properties
    2) Under "Select the folders to search" I manually add Yahoo accounts Bulk Mail folder.
    After adding I expect that, the left hand side listing would become:
    Junk
    - GMAccount1
    - GMAccount2
    - YahooAccountName
    But it does not show YahooAccount as a subfolder. (Even after restarting thunderbird)
    But surprisingly, when I click on top level unified junk folder, then it shows the e-mails in "Bulk Mail" in the right hand side pane.
    Which means there is a minor display bug which does not display the folders included in Unified folder.
    Please let me know if there is right solution or please correct the bug.
    Thank you.

    I found a solution:
    Goto YahooAccount's properties
    Junk Settings
    Under Destination and Retention
    Check Move new junk messages to:
    Other: Bulk mail on YahooAccount
    Restart thunderbird
    This way thunderbird knows this is junk folder and then starts displaying it under "Unified Junk" folder.
    This solve the problem but I suppose this should not be needed.
    Any account mentioned in "Select the folders to search" (in properties of unified folder - as mentioned above), should be displayed under that "unified folder"

  • Mail -- How to show a Junk mailbox in a POP account

    How to show a Junk mailbox in a POP account
    I have two POP accounts on my iPhone 5s with iOS 8.1. The two accounts are identical except for the user name and of course the email address. In one account I have a Junk folder to which incoming messages can be moved. In the other account I have no such mailbox and can't for the life of me figure out how to show one.
    The steps to show one should (I think) be as follows, which works in the 'cooperative' account, and also on a second iPhone 5s:
    1) Open Mail.app.
    2) Heading: Mailboxes. Tap 'Edit'.
    3) Scroll down and tap 'Add Mailbox..'
    4) Tap account name.
    5) Tap 'Junk' (checks item).
    6) Tap Done, Done, Done (Junk mailbox appears in Mailbox list, and incoming messages can be moved there.)
    The problem in the uncooperative account is that at Step 5, there is no Junk item to check. There are only Sent and Trash. (In the other account there are Drafts, Sent, Junk, Trash).
    Solutions or suggestions welcome.

    Hopefully the screenshot will show.
