Blank sender/subject spam - how to get mail to rec as junk?

I'm getting hammered again in every mailbox with these blank sender/subject/body spam emails. I asked about a year ago and the word was to buy a spam filter software program. I'd rather get a script to do this. I recall I had one which I can't find. Rules doesn't have the ability to do this.
Please, anyone, help. I'm getting hundreds of these things.
TIA!

Rules do certainly have the ability to do this:
If [any] of the following conditions are met:
[From] [Does not contain] @
Perform the following actions:
[Move Message] to mailbox [Junk]

How to get mail app to search junk mail?

Is it normal behavior for the search function in mail to exclude junk mail? One of the main reasons I might search for a message is to check whether something I was expecting got sent to junk or not.
Or to put it more simply: Is there a way to include the junk folder in searches?

How to get Mail to recognize "Dad"?

In my Address Book, I have my father marked down as his real name. How can I get Mail to automatically fill his e-mail address in a new message when I type in "Dad" without deleting his name, or do I just replace his name with Dad?

Use Card/Add Field/Nickname on his entry in your address book, then type "Dad" into the new field.

How to get mail, firstname, lastname of user in OID by java?

Hi all,
I'm trying to get mail, firstname, lastname of user in OID, but I don't know how to work
Please help me!!!
Thanks!!!
PS:I can get the userId by this code
try
InitialDirContext ctx = ConnectionUtil.getDefaultDirCtx(server,
server_port,
"cn=orcladmin",
password );
try
Subscriber sub = new Subscriber(ctx,Util.IDTYPE_DN, cn,false);
String[] arr=null;
User[] user =sub.getUsers(ctx, Util.IDTYPE_SIMPLE, "*",null,arr);
String[] users = new String[user.length];
String dm ="cn=";
for(int i=0;i<user.length;i++)
users[i] = user.getDN(ctx).substring(0,user[i].getDN(ctx).indexOf(","));
users[i] = users[i].substring(dm.length(),users[i].length());
return users;
//System.out.println("ok");
catch(UtilException ue)
System.out.println("error");
return null;
} // User myuser = null;
catch(NamingException ne)
// javax.naming.NamingException is thrown when an error occurs
System.out.println(ne);
return null;

You are almost there.
String[] arr=null;
User[] user =sub.getUsers(ctx, Util.IDTYPE_SIMPLE, "*",null,arr);
The String Array arr here needs to be an array of attributes that you wish the system to return with the search.
Then from your User object you can get a collection of those attributes, here is a function that loads them into a HashMap
private HashMap loadAttributes(User ldapUser, String[] attributes) {
HashMap resultMap = new HashMap(attributes.length);
PropertySetCollection psc;
try {
psc = ldapUser.getProperties(ctx, attributes, true);
if (psc.isEmpty()) {
return null;
PropertySet userVals = psc.getPropertySet(0);
for (int i = 0; i < userVals.size(); i++) {
Property thisProperty = userVals.getProperty(i);
if (thisProperty.size() > 1) {
StringBuffer workBuf = new StringBuffer();
for (int j = 0; j < thisProperty.size(); j++) {
workBuf = workBuf.append((String) thisProperty.getValue(j)).append(",");
resultMap.put(thisProperty.getName(), workBuf.toString());
} else {
resultMap.put(thisProperty.getName(), (String) thisProperty.getValue(0));
} catch (UtilException e) {
return null;
return resultMap;
}

How to get mail title when opening attached file

Hello,
I'm using thunderbird v15.0.1, and I would like to collect and sort all attached files I received along name of the email senders. I succeeded to plug my application to thunderbird which "on demand" is able to download the attached file in a generic location; Now I would like to sort these files along sender names and/or email subject. How can I retreive the name and/or the subject of the email when I open an attached file?

I set up two identities, the default & one more. How to get mail from the second one?

I have two different e-mail addresses that I want to get mail from. So the main/default one worked just fine. So I went to options, account settings, identities and set up the second one. But this second one doesn't appear on the start page and still when I Get Mail, it only brings in the mail from the default one. So what do I do?

You do not place your second account in Identities.
You go to the Menu Bar and select '''File-New-Existing Mail Account''' and add it there.
No Menu Bar? Press the alt key.
If using the '''AppMenu button''', click that and select''' New Message-Existing Mail Account'''

Get Mail to Stop Downloading Junk from Exchange Server

Our company uses Comcast Business Class for email service. They in turn are running Exchange 2007 servers.
I recently had to reconfigure all my email accounts do to a corrupt Mail plist. Upon doing so, I found out about Mail 4.2's (Snow Leopard edition) ability to auto discover Exchange server configurations. Pretty nifty. With one caveat. Apple Mail is downloading all the Junk mail that winds up on the Exchange server. Which is quite a bit.
Originally, before the corrupt plist problem, my Mail 4.2 was upgraded from Leopard and the account information transferred using the non-auto discovery method, if you will. When it was setup that way, there were only about two or three Junk messages that breached the barrier per day. Now I'm getting dozens.
On to my question: is there a way to configure Mail to stop downloading Junk mail from an Exchange server and just leave the Junk on the Exchange server?

Thanks, William.
They are, fortunately, being filtered into my Junk folder in Mail. There is the occasional culprit who sneaks through to my Inbox, but most wind up where they should. It's just the increase in volume to that Junk folder that has me concerned.
Additionally, if a non-Junk message gets erroneously tagged, I no longer have the option I once had to set the message as "This is not Junk". That used to appear as a graphic and button at the top of the message. It seems like I no longer have that capability.

Sender mail adapter : How to get mail in both payload AND attachment ?

Hi,
I need to get the mail content both ways every time :
-In attachment in order to store it later.
-In payload in order to use it.
I don't see any way to do this. Any ideas ?
JB.

Thanks for that fast answer.
But I have no problems with reading the payload content or accessing any attachment.
My issue is the following : I need to push the payload content as an attachment before sending the message to the Abap Proxy.
Scenario is the following :
Mail box --> PI --> ECC/Abap Proxy.
I already store all the attachment during the proxy execution, I would like to be able to do the same withe the mail content.

How to get Mail to separate 2 threads that have the same subject

I'm using Mail to view my IMAP account (Gmail).
"Organize by Thread" works, but it seems to be based only on subject, so old conversations started with the same subject as a new conversation show up together in the same thread.
This is particularly annoying for messages with no subject - there are hundreds of them all in the same thread.
Is there some way to tell Mail that a certain message is the start of a new thread?

Separating threaded messages into multiple threads, or combining messages into one thread, is defined in IAB [Internet Activities Board] Official Protocol Standards Network Working Group RFC [Request for Comments] 2822, proposed as a change to standard STD 11. Basically, the "References:" message header would be used for this purpose, as it would contain the unique message id's of all the precursor messages. See RFC 2822 at http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2822.txt for specific information. The current STD 11 has no detailed definition of the contents of this header.
Of course, email clients, including but not limited to Apple's 'Mail', must insert this optional header, properly populate it, and properly interpret it for threads to be defined in this way. However, it should be possible for the recipient's email client to insert and build or modify this header, with user guidance, so that conversational threads not originally identified can be documented or augmented. Valid arguments against changing existing headers should not really apply to the situation where the headers do not exist or where a reference is missing. These "Reference:" headers are in service to the users, not the network.
As stated, this is a proposed use of an optional header, and rules are advisory rather than mandatory. but definition of multiple parent emails at any point in the conversation is strongly advised against. Logical rules for identifying the thread break down if the chain of precursors forks when looking backward.
The above may explain Apple's mention of using headers to define threads, but the capability does not seem to have been implemented. How do we encourage Apple to move on this?

How to get Mail 8.1 to forward an email based on Subject line?

I am using Mail 8.1 under MacOSX 10.10 (Yosemite).
I would like to create a rule that takes all mail received into a specific Mailbox and send or forward it to an email address which forms the Subject line of that email, changing the Subject line of the outgoing email to "Response Received".
What is the easiest way to do this?

You first need to setup iCloud and then setup an iCloud email account. Either that or you can set up an IMAP email account with your email provider. Your current email is probably a POP3 account, it may be able to convert it to IMAP but you would need to check with your email provider first.

How to get mail from Outlook to SAP GUI (workflow)

Hi All ,
How can we get a mail from outlook or personal mail into SAP GUI .
can it be used as an event for 'wait for event step ' in workflow . ?
Thanks ,
Naval bhatt

Hi Naval,
I just want to clarify some areas from your question:
1. Will a workflow be triggered because of the email from Outlook to SAP? Does it always have to start from the Outlook side?
The integration of SAP Workplace (thru Workflow) and Outlook is possible using the Extended Notification (tcode SWNCONFIG). Here, you can send an email from SAP to Outlook then execute a function from your Outlook message and then you will be directed to the tcode of SAP side (SAP GUI).

How to get Mail to filter out foreign alphabet messages???

a lot of the spam I receive is in Russian or an Asian language. Nobody I want to hear from sends me mail in another alphabet.
Is there a way to set a rule for this? I saw another posting about someone who had blocked Cyrillic/Russian, but darned if I can find out how to do that.

It's very easy. There are two ways to approach this; one may work better than the other for you.
The first method is to search the headers of your email for the character sets you want to eliminate, then enter those in a rule. For example:
To filter on "Content-Type", you need to expose the headers of the spam messages you're receiving and look for that specific header, which is near the bottom (use ShiftCommandH). This header isn't one you can choose to use as a Rule, but you can add it as a Rule criteria (when defining the rule, pop up the criterion menu, and the last item is "Edit header list..."); choose it.
You want to exclude (Trash or place in a Spam folder for review) messages where Content-Type contains "iso-2022-jp" and any other foreign language types you find in the headers of your spam messages, while allowing everything else to pass through.
But this isn't foolproof, as it will not work for spam that has been identified (intentionally or not) with the wrong content type. It also eliminates the possibility of seeing mail that was written in English from someone whose mail client is configured to send mail as a different encoding type.
You can also take the opposite approach: Set up a Rule with these criteria and actions--
If all of the following conditions are met:
• Sender IS NOT in my Address Book
• Sender IS NOT in my Previous Recipients
• Message IS NOT addressed to my Full Name
• Message IS Junk Mail
Perform the following actions:
• Move Message to Trash.
