Block junk mail on my I phone

How can I block junk mail on my iphone
thanks

With an IMAP account.
I also access my IMAP account with the Mail.app on my Mac (which includes a junk mail filter) and I keep the Mail.app on my Mac launched and running actively accessing the account for new messages.
Any message received that is marked as junk by the junk mail filter with the Mail.app on my Mac and moved to the account's Junk mailbox is reflected automatically when accessing the account with the iPhone's Mail client since all server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account are kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account.

How do you block junk mail

How do you block junk mail. I sync to my work email and it is blocked on that server but I get junk mail on my phone.

There is no setting on the iPhone. That is what I told you in the first post. Your email client on the computer probably has a junk filter built in or something you can set. The only way to filter email on the iPhone is at the server.

HT4864 Is there a way to block junk mail?

Is there a way to block junk email?

Hello Ruby,
The following article provides helpful information on how to manage junk mail in your iCloud e-mail.
iCloud: Manage junk mail
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2649
If you receive unwanted email (spam), you can mark it as junk. Messages marked as junk are are displayed with a junk mail icon in the message list.
Important: Because email messages in the Junk folder are automatically deleted after 30 days, periodically check the Junk folder for email messages that were marked as junk mistakenly.
Mark a message as junk
In the message list, select the message that you want to mark as junk.
Do either of the following:
Choose Mark as Junk Mail from the Action pop-up menu in the iCloud Mail toolbar.The message is color-coded brown and moved to the Junk folder.
Drag the message to the Junk folder in the sidebar.
Subsequent email messages from the same sender are automatically marked as junk.

Blocking junk mail from iCloud.me

How do I stop junk mail from coming to my me.com email?

I can't filter junk using any iCloud rules. There's no option under those rules where you can say if a message is marked as junk then do X. Do you actually have the ability to filter junk from the web interface?

Thunderbird has totally blocked junk mail, how do I unblock it?

Thunderbird won't receive any junk mail whatsoever, from time to time some emails labeled junk aren't as such. This is quite annoying as it forces me to use other email programs, how do I get Thunderbird receiving junk mail?

Is this a POP account? Where is the junk mail located in the Hot mail folders? Thunderbird only connects to the Inbox of POP accounts. If the messages are not in the Inbox of a POP account it cannot download them. Fix the Hotmail filtering so it stops placing wanted messages in a junk folder.

How do I block junk mail from going to my iPhone and iPad?

I blocked a ton of emails from Outlook on my work PC but they still come to my iPhone and iPad. The block on my PC did the job but for some reason, my phone and ipad cannot tell the difference. Please help! I cant stand getting bogus emails all day long!

Sorry KT, but that answer is ridiculous.
Since 2007 there have been hundreds, if not thousands, of messages on this discussion forum about the need for client-side email filtering on the iPhone. Server-side filtering has two major problems:
Many people using the same server/service have different notions of what’s SPAM. I might need to see marketing messages from some firm I work with and ignore political messages. You might work in politics and want to filter something completely different. There is not way for a service to filter out SPAM unless it has individual data on what to filter out. Programmers who write services choose to put common functionality on the server side and user-specific stuff on the client side because that’s the most effective solution.
All good mail clients filter SPAM in some way. Even Apple Mail.app filters SPAM using a relatively sophisticated algorithm. Thus the folks who do server filtering know that an additional, fine-grain, filter exists downstream from them. If they do more filtering upstream, they will make more mistakes, and users will get mad. They are incentivized by every other email client to filter out only the truly blatant SPAM, and let users handle the rest with client-side filtering.
There are other iPhone email clients, for jailbroken phones, so the market for this capability clearly exists. Why has Apple gotten the answer wrong for 5 years?
Frankly, my kids got me an iPhone for Christmas because they thought I was a luddite. I’m looking to get out of the contract because I just can’t use it to read my email and my old phone was more than good enough to talk on. I’ve been an Apple customer since the Original Mac, but this is the first Apple product that just doesn’t work.

IN TRYING TO BLOCK JUNK MAIL USING mail, preference etc I HAVE MANAGED TO RECIEVE MAILS OKAY BUT BLOCKED ALL MY INCOMING MAILS APPEARING IN INBOX - HELP!!

AS ABOVE MY PROB IS I HAVE MANAGED TO STOP MY INCOMING MAILS FROM APPEARING BUT OUTGOING IS WORKING FINE. WOULD APPRECIATE SOME ADVICE. THANKS

Sabine,
What you report would be fully consistent with accessing your .mac account with a computer or mail client where the .mac account is setup as POP account.
With a .mac or IMAP account, if you happen to access the account from a computer or mail client that defaults to treat the account as POP, then often the further default is to download the messages, and further instruct the server to remove them. In other words, the IMAP or .mac account gets treated as a POP, and the messages are removed following download. It would make no difference how you had the setting on your primary computer, or primary mail client (Mail) -- the settings for server behavior are in each mail client, whether aboard more than one computer or not -- and would also be true of POP account selection of actions following initial download.
Remember, a .mac account acts like an IMAP account, and Inbox, is on the server, but the server will respond to being approached as though it is POP. The Dell would not have had an option to set the account type as .mac, so the proper choice would have been IMAP.

How to block junk e-mail on iphone/ mobile me account

hello,
My 1st post to support community. Hope you can be patient with me
I am looking for help. I would like to know if there is a way to identify & block junk email on my iPhone. My service provider is Verizon (I have not checked with Verizon). The email account for iPhone is my ********me.com account.
Do I block at me.com or on iPhone?
thank you

Mail filtering must be done at the server level. So, see if your mail provider offers filtering & how to setup the various rules. Such cannot be done on the phone itself.

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

Question: Junk Mail: How to extract groups of emails to add to blocked senders.

Hi Ernie
I need to find a way to extract lists of emails from Junk mail folder and add them en masse to blocked senders, without having to add them to my blocked senders one by one.
I have had the same email address for too long to change it, but I receive huge amounts of junk mail. I have so far barred nearly 2000 senders and have 1100 sitting in my junk folder form the last week. I barred them one by one, using RULES function...I simply cannot keep doing this.
I have MacBook Pro running Mavericks, plus iPad plus iPhone 5.
The problem is aggravated by the fact that Apple has a weakness in Mail: I may bar thousands of senders on my Mac, but the filter does not sync the barred addresses to my iPad or iPhone, so if I use Mail on either, I get many thousands of emails at once and have to mark them one by one to delete. It's ridiculous.
To solve this problem, I have decided to do is block all the senders in webmail.
However I still have the same problem with extracting multiple addresses from my junk mail folder in order to copy them into blocked senders list.
Genius Bar said it can't be done. I think they're wrong. There simply as to be (a) a location on my Mac where I can find a list of all those I have already barred; (b) a way to extract email addresses from groups of received mail.
I'd be grateful for some advice, please.

Is there nobody ot there who has a solution to my problem, please?

Junk mail filtering service is blocking the server activities

Very dears all,
I am a young ADC Selected Membership (while I am mature as person, with my 54 years old!) and I am used to run the new release as soon I have it available for download. This I did also for 10.5.7 (while I am now ready to start the Snow testing) but after a while I had a strange loose of reaction of the server every 8 minutes.
I checked that the problem come from junk mail filtering service so that when I activate it the server activities are blocked once every 7..8 minutes (the server is unresponsive).
I checked that the amavis.log is full of messages in every slice of time (about 50 messages for each slice). Moreover, the slice are every tenth of a second!
I have not found clear indication neither on "AppleMacOsX_Command_Line_Adminv10.5" nor on "MailService_Admin_v10.5_2ndEd".
How to check for the cause of the blocking?
Many thanks,
Carmine

Very dear pterobyte,
I am not sure but the server should have been started on Leopard! Is is there a way to check it?
Consider that the junkmail filter has been working OK before it was upgraded to the latest releases for 1.5.7 (let's say before the mid of April). It was progressively shorting both the unresponsive duration and the cycling between unresponsive. So that yesterday I had to switch off the junkmail filtering, after I detected it was the cause.
I have now restarted the junkmail filter and here You can see the related answer to the command You asked me (first line is when it was off, then one line every 5 seconds, till answer is repeated):

You can use junk mail filters but setting the criteria can be a problem.
A very good tool for blocking adware is available from Thomas Reed's site http://www.thesafemac.com Thomas is a regular contributor on ASC and a good helper.

Blocking Junk E-mail

I just got my iphone and I have my email set up, is there any way to block unwanted junk e-mail?

I utilize the Junk mail blocking in mail.app. As long as that's up and running on my desktop, items that go to the junk folder never appear on my iPhone. Similarly, though, anything that does filtering at the server shouldn't be allowing emails to transfer over.
Actually, if they're being "filtered" but left in the inbox, that might cause it.

Junk Mail from a specific individual making me insane....how can I block it

I'm getting junk mail from a friend of a friend, and I mark his messages as junk EVERY TIME I GET ONE. Yet, somehow, alas, every message from him gets through to my inbox. How can this (and a homicide) be prevented? If you mark a message "Junk" why is the very next message from the exact same sender not Junk? Is this a Mac virus? What do I have to do? He is not in my address book, nor is the setting checked to receive messages always from senders in my address book.
I'm seriously going to drop an atom bomb on this guy if his junk mail keeps arriving......he is a mo-ron who barely knows how to use a computer. I'm not calling him.
PLEASE HELP ME......PLEASE....

Its because you have his email or other contact information set in the "Previous recipients" list. To remove him from this list, go to the "Window" menu and choose "Previous Recipients." Then locate and remove all instances of his name and email, and try adding him to the junk mail list again.
Another option is to create a rule that recognizes his email address and moves his email to the trash or Junk Mail folder.
Lastly, you might as well just ask him to remove you from his email list...

OSX Lion Mail Server Junk Mail Filter blocks incoming mail from any Yahoo address

I have yet to be able to use OSX Lion Mail Server's Junk Mail Filter. I have several contacts who use (free) Yahoo Mail addresses. Whenever I turn on Junk Mail Filter, even at the Most Cautious setting, any incoming mail from Yahoo.com addresses do not make it into my inbox. I was told last year by an Apple Enterprise Tech Support contact that "..we're still having problems with that Junk Mail Filter, sorry, just leave it off for now.." WTH In the meantime, the good news is I'm not missing any incoming e-mails; but, I'm having to sort through and delete a few hundred spam messages each day.
Suggestions? Thanks in advance

I agree with the points made by Strontium90. If you have any PCs then Apple's mail/contacts/calendar software is a poor choice. Kerio Connect as a mail/contacts/calendar server would not only support Macs but would also do a good job supporting PCs running Outlook.
If you are going to become a pure Apple site, then you could use just the Apple software and this would be cheaper than using Kerio. For 30 users this might be a suitable solution, however even in a pure Apple environment many people prefer Kerio. For example I find Kerio much more pleasent when dealing with email addresses across multiple domains, email aliases, email group addresses, and so on. Kerio also has built-in email archiving, that is keeping a record of all emails. Kerio also provides a web-browser client for accessing email, calendar and contacts. It is worth noting that as standard Mountain Lion Server no longer includes a webmail feature. While I personally find the Kerio webclient rather ugly it does work.
There are some annoyances I have with Kerio, firstly they have always charged a 'maintenance' fee for their software. This provided access to software updates, and in the past also provided access to Kerio technical support. Unfortunately they now only let you make two (2) support cases per year for that cost, and you now have to pay extra for any more cases. Also while they added support for EWS (Exchange Web Service) to allow using Outlook 2011 for Mac as a supported email client, they did a poor job of this so that it does not work properly with any other EWS compatible client. This means it will not work in EWS mode with Apple Mail, nor with Outlook for Windows. While there are other ways to connect these other clients, this seems a foolish move and there have been plenty of requests to fix this.
Apple's Mail client uses EWS to connect to a 'real' MS Exhange server.
