[All Platforms][Social] Option to Restrict Inbox Messages to Friends Only (because f*** spam)

As of late, Spotify has a burgeoning spam issue. I will receive 2-3 spam messages a day in my desktop app inbox. I continue to block all of these bots, but new ones pop up daily. To mitigate this, we should have the option to block all communication except from those we follow, or those who follow us. Some bots automatically follow and then begin to send messages, but this could be prevented by also allowing an option to privatize your account such that new followers must be approved - a la Instragram, Facebook, etc. Thanks!!

As far as I can tell, there is no way to reverse the sort.

[All Platforms][Playlists] Option to see popular playlists a song appears on

I really would love to see the ability to right click on a song and see which public playlists it appears on. After listening to the radio for on of my genres for a couple of days I'm tired of spotify's suggestions and would like to see what other people think as far as what songs are similar to the selected song.

[All Platforms][Social] Email Invites from Contact lists and Create Program referrals

Would love to see a way Spotify can search my local contact list and/or a specifiy gmail account contact list (with permission of-course) and send out short sweet Spotify friend requests. While your at it. Develop a program similar to "dropbox" for referrels. If you refer somebody and they sign up, you get a month free or the like.

Updated: 2015-07-31Marked as new idea and edited it to let it focus on 1 request.
Your other idea about a referral program has also been suggested here. ;)

[All Platforms][Social] Social Features in collaborative playlists

The friends I grew up with and I have just started adding songs in to a collaborative playlist. We share a great deal in common and music was something we shared strongly. The problem is that there is no engagement on the playlist. We have spoken about the playlist a lot on whatsapp and have been talking about each others suggestions, but there is no way to discuss or engage with spotify. I would suggest that even a like button for the songs would be a good start, so a friend adds a song to a playlist I like, I would like to be able to show that without having to discuss in a different medium. Upvotes and down votes, as well as skipped tracks would be a great way to keep on top of what people are enjoying and not. Also comments or a small forum attached to the playlist would create a place that we could truly engage with the music and each other. It just seems a shame that when I am using the app, I have to leave it, or use a completely different device to actually discuss this with the people I am sharing with. Thanks for reading Chris

TS3899 Why cant i delete all my email inbox messages together?

Why cant i delete all my inbox email messages together?, I'm using my iPhone 5s, i can delete all my junk email messages together but not my inbox email messages, i have to individually tick each inbox message one at a time tick/delete, its extremely annoying, it doesn't make any sense, can anyone please explain why such an obviously much needed function has been left out for email inbox messages but included only for junk email messages?

There's no one from Apple here, thus no one here can answer your question. You can make suggestions to Apple using this:

Cant dowload all emails from Hotmail (no " load more messages" option)

Hi - I use i phone for both my gmail and hotmail emails. While using gmail, i get the option to "Load more messages" at the bottom of my screen and when i click that iphone downloads the next 25/50 emails from the server. For some reason, i dont have that option for my hotmail inbox. There is no load more message option so i cant retrieve my older emails no matter what i do.
Does someone else have had this issue. Appreciate your help
Thanks
Nybeel

No. To be honest Im pretty sure its because hotmail simply dont support this feature. All my friends with hotmail accounts have the problem too. I have compromised by increasing the "mail days to sync" option to 1 month, and I find this syncs enough messages for me to not have a problem. But as for the original query, I think its simply something we have to live with!
Hope that puts ur mind at rest

TS3899 I can't see messages all of a sudden in my inbox when I connect via gmail but ok from message icon in my ipad

Hi
I have a problem. I was happily deleting and moving some emails from my Inbox on my ipad when all of a sudden, the messages just disappeared!!! When I tried to get to that page again, the address reads"mail.google.com/mail/mu/mp/12#tl/Inbox. So from Inbox down to All mail, the message just says"no offline messages" However, I still have messages in the business plan, travel etc boxes. I can view my inbox messages via the message icon in my iPad.
I went to see an Apple store, I am based in Patong, Phuket, Thailand, where I bought it sometime in November last year. The technician could see the messages in my inbox from his Mac via direct connection through gmail whereas I couldn't. As there is a language problem and I am an IT virgin, it all sounds double Dutch to me when he tried to say something about my server, and I had to take it down to an authorized apple service provider in town. I don't really want to do it unless it is the last resort as I have only my iPad, and I am sure it will take at least a week to be sorted out. Would greatly appreciate any help.
Cheers
Ben

Messages should work with the email address that you use for your Apple ID. You have to be signed into that email address in order for any other email address that you have added to work.
You should add your iPhone number to your Apple ID on the iPad, and then select that as the contact address at which you can be reached and all of the messages between the phone and the iPad will sync again.
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support
Phone number missing on iPad or iPod touch
If your phone number isn't listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow these steps:
Update to the latest version of iOS.
Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you're using on your iPhone.
On your iPad or iPod touch, sign out of your Apple ID in the following locations:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage.
If your phone number still isn't listed, follow these steps:
Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Receive At and Settings > FaceTime.
Sign in to your Apple ID on your other iOS devices.

Sent messages and inbox messages all appearing in same list

Hi there
Please can anyone tell me how I can separate out my sent messages from my inbox messages? Currently when I go to "Messages" from the home screen it takes me to a list of all messages, both sent and received, altogether. I've not had this with any other phone - normally have an "inbox" and "sent" - please is it possible how I can see the messages separately as you would do normally, not all together in one long list?
Are there any Apps to allow me to do this? Does iSMS allow this functionality - to have messages separated into inbox and sent folders accordingly?
Thank you for any help answering my question.

It's an absolutely brilliant phone don't get me wrong but this issue dumbfounds me. SMS is the biggest feature on every mobile. Why would a company deliberately choose to design a messages page and have all messages together instead of taking a bit more time (and money) developing it a bit further as with 99% of modern phones and move messages into appropriate folders - inbox, sent, drafts? Just to put them all in one list, making it impossible to tell which are ones you have written or been sent to you.
For example: if I send a text sms to John Smith that message appears under "John Smith" in the messages page, and then when John replies to it that message too appears under "John Smith" in the same messages page (no other information other than the name of the person) - absolutely no way at all to tell which is the one I have sent and the one I have received without manually clicking into each - if I had 50 messages this would be very impractical as you can imagine. You can see my frustration?
You cannot tell which messages you have sent and ones you have received - even a small marker like "R" for received and "S" for sent would help distinguish between them and be an improvement if all were to stay in the same page like they do. Is Apple likely to provide a solution to this soon in a next update?

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

Inbox shows 1 unread message after opening all the messages.why are new inbox messages not highlighted

I cannot find the unread message despite having opened all my inbox messages and wonder why the new messages are no longer in bold text.

Right click the folder, select properties and then the repair button. A new index might clear it.
If not try
View menu > folders > unread see if Thunderbird can find it since it says it is there after an index rebuild.

How do I restore all the Hotmail inbox messages from iMail?

Is there some way I deleted all the inbox messages in MSN Hotmail by using iMac mail? All the messages are still there in iMail but not in MSN Hotmail. Is there anyway to restore the messages from iMail to the MSN Hotmail pop server?

Hi crazybangy,
Here are instructions on restoring from an iCloud backup:

HT5767 how do I take all inbox messages [ 3000 ] and deleate all at one time ?

how do I take all inbox messages [ 3000 ] and deleate all at one time ?

Go to icloud.com, open Mail, then select them in batches (click the first message, scroll down, shift-click the last message) and press your delete key. The server usually has problems deleting that many at once, so you should try a smaller number, say 500, and delete them in batches.

I lost all my inbox messages

Dear all,
Few days ago, I stoped retrieving messages from my pop mail provider for some reason. Since I didn't know how to fix it or where the problem was, I've done something very stupid.
I deleted my pop account from my Mail and created a new one with the same set up.
Well, it turned out that all my mails from that account are gone together with it.
Now I lost many important work and personal informatio and I oughta know weather ther's a way to recupe it.
I'm desperate, and feeling very dumb!
Thanks for any cooperation.
