All mail is being downloaded to Junk Folder

Since I upgraded to Snow Leopard, every time I do "Get Mail", all the newly downloaded mail goes into the Junk Mail folder, but none of it is marked junk! I am using the same Junk preferences I used in Leopard. If I uncheck "enable junk mail filtering", the Junk Folder disappears and so does my mail. But when I re-enable junk mail filtering, the mail reappears. I have tried rebuilding both the inbox and the junk folder, no joy. At this point, I have to move all downloaded mail from the junk folder to the inbox, then mark all junk mail as junk. What might be the solution to this problem? Should I delete the Mail preferences file?

Problem solved. Ken Gani on the Tidbits said it sounded like a mail rules problem. When I deleted the Mail-tags rules, which were left over from a demo version which I had installed many months ago on Leopard (Mail 3.6) the problem went away.

Classified junk mail intermittently not moving to junk folder

Hello,
I am running Thunderbird 31.3.0 and all of a sudden the junk mail (which is classified and marked) is not being moved to the junk mail folder intermittently on some of the IMAP accounts setup on Thunderbird.
Again, this problem only intermittently occurs but it seems to happen on the same couple of email accounts. The junk mail is marked and stays in the inbox but does not automatically move to the junk folder. If I unmark one in the inbox and remark it - it moves automatically. if I restart Thunderbird, all newly received junk moves as expected for a time until the problem intermittently start occurring again.

One last thing to try:

Junk Mail no longer goes to junk folder

I am getting mail labeled as Junk in my inbox (it is clearly spam). It used to go directly to my Junk folder, but now is staying in the inbox. (I think it started after going to 10.5.6)
I check preferences, and the box is check to sent it to the junk folder.
How can I get these junk emails not to show up in my Inbox?

do you have your iphone set to recent? You should be able to have all 8 accounts sent to your mail on your mac. You could also set your emails to foward to other accounts.

Junk mail not automatically moved to Junk folder

Hello.
I'm using an IMAP account and have configured Mail to move junk mail to the chosen junk mail folder (junk is not filtered on the server but on my client). Since the junk mail filter is still learning sometimes junk mail is not detected and still goes to the inbox. That's okay.
If I then select that message it is somehow miraculously detected and marked as junk. However, it is not automatically moved to the junk folder but remains in the inbox marked as junk?
Is this desired behaviour? Why is the mail not automatically moved to the junk folder, like it is when I manually mark a mail as junk?
Thanks in advance

I just happened to notice that even mail that is automatically marked as spam/junk remains in my inbox. So I open the inbox folder and there is message that is marked as junk. Only when I manually reset and set the junk status is the message moved to the junk folder.
This seems to be the case in an IMAP acount where all folders (sent, drafts, spam, etc.) are subfolders of the actual inbox folder.
Is anyone else experiencing this behaviour?
Thanks in advance

How can I get junk e-mail to go directly to junk folder instead of inbox?

All of a sudden I am getting a lot of e-mails that I do not want and consider junk. I want them to go directly to my junk folder instead of my inbox. Ideally I would just like to eliminate them totally.

Junk Mail won't move to Junk folder after training+switching to automatic

After training for months, I switched my preferences to automatic and now my existing junk mail doesn't move to the junk folder.

Same problem here - also using an IMAP account. Junk mail is labeled correctly but does not move automatically to the junk folder even though the option to do that is enabled in preferences.

Sent Messages in Mail are being Stored in Drafts Folder

Hi,
This does not happen to every message only some, but it happens to really important messages - I'm a freelance writer and it happens when I'm sending a resume or talking to a client.
When I hit send, the message shows up in my sent mail as being sent, but it also remains stored in my drafts folder. Sometimes I send a message and it shows sent and then a day later, that same message is in my drafts folder. A couple of times, even though they ended up in my sent folder, the recipient did not receive the message. Sometimes they receive them sometimes they don't, but I never know.
Can someone explain this and help me resolve this issue? Has this happened to anyone else?
Thanks.

Hi Staci.
If Mail put the message in Sent, that means
the outgoing (SMTP) server told Mail that the message
would be delivered. If the message never reached its
destination, it could be because the SMTP server
didn’t fulfill its promise or because the message was
filtered out by either the recipient’s incoming mail
server or the recipient’s mail client for some
(probably spam-related) reason.
The fact that Mail sometimes fails to remove the copy
of the message from Drafts after sending it is
a glitch that has nothing to do with whether the
message was received or not, and appears to happen
only with IMAP-type accounts configured to store
drafts on the server.
So what type of mail account is this (POP, IMAP,
.Mac)? If IMAP or .Mac, what are your Preferences
Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors > Drafts settings?
Hi,
I use .mac for email and I prior to writing, I checked my preferences and made sure to uncheck "store drafts on the server." I'll see how that goes. Thank you though for answering my question.

E-mails not being downloaded by Outlook express

I have a weird issue with Outlook express - it appears to only download a portion of the e-mails that are sitting in my invox on the server.
For example this morning I could see I had 50 ubread e-mails to download when logging into the webmail interface. Outlook decided to only download 40 of them ?? I've checked the settings in Outlook and nothing appears to have changed. However no matter how many times I run send / receive in Outlook express the "missing" e-mails will not download.
Can anyone suggest what might be the problem ?
Thanks
Steve

Does OE give you an error message?
If no:
Have you tried sending yourself a test message? And does that get downloaded?
If yes, and yes:
Have you also tried going in to Webmail, creating a 'temp' folder, moving the missing emails into the temp folder, then re-fetching in OE, then moving the missing emails back out of the temp folder into the inbox, and then getting OE to refetch once more?

How to keep myspace mail from ending up in junk folder?

So far I've marked about 70 myspace messages as "not junk" and moved them out of the junk folder, but mail is not learning like it used to on Panther and it keeps puting them there. I tried adding the address to my address book with a wildcard (*@mail.myspace.com) or something similar, but that didn't work either.
How can I get mail to quit putting these in my junk folder... there doesn't seem to be a way to make an exception for an entire domain in preferences under junk.
Thanks!

Oh yeah, thanks!! Duh, I completely forgot rules could apply to junk mail as well. My mind is mush after upgrading.
Thanks!

In Mail, contacts, calendars settings, I do not have a "Show" option to show 50 or 100 messages. The problem is all my mail is being downloaded and filling up my phone. How do I get the option to show a certain amount of emails?

I am missing the "Show" option in the mail settings on my iphone. This is causing all of my emails to download and takin up a lot of space. How can I get that "show 50 messages" back? It is completely not there.

Same for me...that option seems to have gone away and I cannot figure out how to get more emails to show up.
Killin me!!

A lot of my normal mail keeps being filtered to rubbish folder.

I move the mail to my normal inbox and the same recipients mail keeps filtering to rubbish all the time. How do I fix this?

Are you referring to mail being marked as spam and moved to the Junk mailbox? If so, your spam filter is, for whatever reason, considering legit e-mail to be spam. Go to the Junk mailbox, select the mis-marked messages and click the Not Junk button. If you keep doing this, Mail's spam filter should adjust eventually. You could also go to Mail -> Preferences -> Junk Mail and make sure that it is set to exempt messages from people in your Address Book, and make sure that those senders are in there. Alternately, you could just reset the spam filter and start re-training it from scratch.

Outlook 2007 sends local mail and non-spam to junk folder

I have exchange server 2003 on SBS with OWA and several outlook 2007 clients. Email often seems to be sent to the junk mail folder by outlook 2007, especially when it comes from the exchange server (either local pickup or MAPI). This is definitely being done by the outlook client, since it never happens when the client is not running (for example, if outlook is not running and I use OWA, local email is never delivered to the junk mail folder).
I turned off junk email filtering in outlook, and forced the local domain to the whitelist (outlook refuses to add it with the gui, saying it's my local domian, so I imported it from a file), and it still happens before and after.
Any ideas?

If it's a local machine, try setting the account to not use cached mode. That should force utilization of Exchange's rules.
1.       Go to Tools >Account Settings
2.       Highlight your Exchange Account and click “Change”
3.       Uncheck “Use cached Exchange Mode”
4.       Click Next and finish
Note, this will not work well on a laptop that leaves the building, as it requires a connection with the server to view mail content.

Copies of e-mails repeatable being downloaded and when I try to delete them it is very slow (I get the not responding message) how can I cure this?

the question covers most of it. I will add that this suddenly has started to happen and I have not knowingly made any changes to my system. The e-mail address is a secondary one to my main address which is a btinternet.com account
