BB seems to pull mail from Gmail Spam folder - can I stop this?

Hi,
I just setup my BB for Gmail access (I have no BlackBerry email address, only Gmail), and at least a few spam emails managed to slip through.
Is it possible that the BB service pulls emails out of the Spam folder? If yes, can I prevent this?
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ah, never mind - I just received another such spam email - and guess what:
Gmail did not recognize it as spam, so it went into the Inbox - that's why I got it!
The Spam folder does NOT get pushed to the BB, so I'm good :-)
Sorry about this.
But at least now this post may be useful for others who might make the same mistake I did...
Thanks for the answer, though!

  • Since updating to V10.9.4, I'm getting copies of the emails I send.  I use gmail.  How can I stop this?

    Since updating to the latest version of Mavericks, I am getting copies of all the emails I send.  Very annoying.  How can I change this back?

    By default Gmail automatically saves a copy of your sent messages. Gmail also is a non standard IMAP and for years we have had workarounds to make Gmail IMAP work in our email clients. Apple has included it's own fixes in Mavericks Mail. If you had previous workarounds this will now conflict with Mail.
    I wrote about my experiences with setting up Gmail in Mavericks Mail here. I describe how you need to reset Gmail in your browser and in Mail.

  • Mail reduces pictures size - How can I stop this?

    Hello,
    Recently whenever I want to send a picture with a good resolution (for ex 2MB), Mail reduces it automatically down to 100 or 200 kb.... Ok I know it's better to send smaller attachement, but sometimes I want/need to send full resolution pictures. How can I stop mail from doing that? I looked in the preferences, I looked at the attachement window... can't find it. Please help because this is annoying.
    Thank you in advance for your time and attention.

  • I've had my husband's e-mail set up on my phone, but now even though i have deleted it, any messages i send from my own e-mail seem to send from his.  How can i stop this?

    i used to have my husband's e-mail account set up on my phone.  I've since deleted it but it seems to send all messages from his account.  very confusing and means i miss out on replies etc.
    Any advice?

    This seems to be happening to a lot of users, so I suppose the servers are down.

  • How to import ALL MAIL from Gmail to OSX Mail?

    I am trying to migrate my mail system over to OSX Mail from Google Mail, but I can't seem to make "All Mail"  show up as an option in OSX Mail, even though I have the folder checked  in the Gmail settings to share with outside apps.  I am on Yosemite and a MacBookPro.
    How are others switching to OSX Mail from Gmail?
    Thanks for your help!

    You open your email - edit - then select each email to delete.
    If you have an imap account you can delete it from the server and it will reflect on yoru phone.

  • Safari wpn't retreve mail from Gmail

    I have a problem. Safari will not retreve incomming mail from Gmail. The mail appears in the Gmail mail window but not in Safari. I get an error; Connection failed
    The server error encountered was your account is not enabled for POP access. Please visit your gmail settings page and enable your account for POP access
    I have very carefully followed the setup proceedure at the Gmail.com site. http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13275 Actually, I had my wife who is a programmer watch over my shoulder to double check. I can send email from Gmail but can not receive Right now I have two mail accounts, Comcast and Gmail. Should incomming messages from both accounts appeat in the same Safari window? If not where? I even went back to Gmail and checked my pass word.
    Thanks Bob

    Don't you mean that you can't seem to receive Gmail via Mail.app? If you can access your account in Safari, then there's nothing wrong with that, but if you can't retrieve via Mail after setting it up, that's something else.
    Are you sure you checked your Gmail settings? You need to enable POP access in Gmail before you can retrieve your mail via Mail.app
    Hope this helps,

  • How can I delete junk mail from Gmail

    This is driving me crazy. I have defined my Gmail account as IMAP in my Mail app. However there is a mailbox with the name All Mail but no Inbox. How can I just see valid messages and how can I mark messages as junk and remove them from All Messages and never see any messages from these junk senders again? For example JC Penney sends about one message a day and I have to manually delete them. I've looked at the Gmail settings via webmail and haven't found a way to get rid of them.

    You could enable Mail's filter as well if you want.  If you do so, I suggest you tell Mail to use Gmail's Spam folder as Mail's Junk folder.  Do this by selecting the Gmail Spam folder, then go to the mail menu bar under the "Mailbox" menu "Use This Mailbox For" -> "Junk".  This way, when you mark a mail as junk within Apple Mail, it will move to the Gmail spam folder, thus telling Gmail it is spam.
    Alternatively, you could use Rules to kick out some of those mail messages you routinely get particularly if they always come from the same e-mail or have the similar subjects.

  • How can I move mail from Gmail to another account?

    Mail.app in Mavericks is incompatible with Gmail. I use Gmail. I have about 2GB of mail, most of it in a few dozen archive folders, stored on Gmail, and (I think) duplicated locally on my Mac Mini.
    I think my best recourse is to switch to an email service provider that conforms to the IMAP standard (which Gmail does not). Assuming I find one, I will have both accounts, Gmail and the new one, in Mail.app. How can I move the mail from Gmail to the other account?
    In Mail.app in Mavericks, All Mail must be marked to show as a folder, and when I move a message from a folder in Gmail it will still be in the All Mail folder.
    When all folders are empty, including the Inbox, can I be sure that every message has been moved to the new account, even though every message is still in the All Mail folder?

    --> mine's working fine. I know there are issues, but it should work
    I think my best recourse is to switch to an email service provider that conforms to the IMAP standard (which Gmail does not).
    --> yes, it would be nice if they adhered to standards.  That said, mine works great.  So far.
    Assuming I find one, I will have both accounts, Gmail and the new one, in Mail.app. How can I move the mail from Gmail to the other account?
    --> If all you want to do is keep your history, make a local folder on your mac and drag all the mail messages there (both se4nt and incoming).  I am not sure what will happen if you later drag those into the new Xmail account
    When all folders are empty, including the Inbox, can I be sure that every message has been moved to the new account, even though every message is still in the All Mail folder?
    --> Dont look in "all mail". Open your inbox and look at each individual inbox.
    Good luck,. But first, try to fix your account.

    Had problem with my hotmail account and had to change my password. Ever since then, my default e-mail account set up to hotmail doesn't work...it sends from gmail. How can I correct that?

    On your iPhone you need to change your password in 2 places:
    - Incoming Mail Server and
    - Outgoing Mail Server
    To get to the password entry for the Outgoing Mail Server you have to tap on cell smtp.live.com and again on the second view.

  • Spam mails are not deleted from the spam folder

    In the account settings, I have set the spam mail to be automatically deleted after one day. In spite of that, spam mail in the spam folder is not automatically deleted at any time, even if I restart Thunderbird. In the end, I always have to clean the spam folder manually.

    Thanks for your quick answers!
    I realized that I didn't select the option 'enable adaptive junk mail controls for this account', but, even selecting it, the junk mails are not automatically cleaned. I tried restarting Thunderbird, restarting the computer, and even manually changing the date and restarting Thunderbird, but nothing worked.
    I checked the entries in the advanced configuration, and they are all correct.
    My aim, as it was with the other problem I posted, is just to help to improve the development of Thunderbird by pointing the bugs. But they are actually really minor issues and not a real problem for me. So don't worry if the problem is not finally solved.
    And thanks again!

  • Get mails from outlooks personal folder (.pst)

    Hi,
    I am using JavaMail to parse mails from the imap server.The application gets new mails from inbox and parses it as required.however i need to modify this to get new mails from a personal folder(.pst)file instead of the inbox on the server.
    Any help in this direction will be appreciated.
    Thanks,

    as i understand, you want to pipe that output from
    qmail to your java application, that would then do
    something to those mails.
    but have you figured out what you want to do to those
    mails?
    javax.mail mostly helps your pogs to speak pop3 smtp
    and other protocols, but in your case there's no need
    for that, if you just need to parse those messages,
    then just parse them.
    what seems to be the problem? what to you want to
    achieve.Again....I've all ready. I've the script, I've the pipe from qmail, I know how to receive it from standad input...
    Could you please send me a little example about how to parse the received mail I'll have in a BufferedReader or InputStream to get subject, from and body (decoding MIME partes if the mail is MIME type ??
    This is the problem.
    I couldn't found samples or help...
    Thanks in advance
