Bounced mail in trash?

I noticed recently that the junk mail I "Bounce" goes to the trash. What is this about??? Does that mean it's not bounced but rather sent to the trash?

I thought bouncing mail meant that it was like it never got to my computer
Only apparently, and only if the bounce is received by someone that doesn't know how to interpret header information:
http://www.by-users.co.uk/faqs/email/headers/
http://www.stopspam.org/email/headers.html
So should I stop doing this?
Definitely. Even though the bounce apparently says that the original message was sent to an invalid address, anyone looking at the headers can easily determine that the bounce was created by a mail client and sent from a valid address, rather than created by the mail server as a result of the destination address being invalid -- you can check this sending a message to yourself, then bouncing it, then doing View > Message > Raw Source on the received bounce.

  • Bouncing Mail icon

    Hi,
    I feel silly- but I know someone out there knows this in a New Yors second!
    I have a MacBook Pro - everything the latest. With "MAIL" - it used to be when I receive an email - the little icon in the dock bounced, along with the sound effect.
    I zereoed my HD - reinstalled everything fresh - and now . . . NO bouncing icon.
    I was kinda getting to like him, bouncing around excitedly - I feel like I've lost an old friend!
    Anybody know how to get it to bounce when new emails arrive? Everything else, is fine. Is there a preference somewhere?
    Thanks,
    Larry

    Hi Ferd,
    Thank you for your response. It seems you are EXACTLY CORRECT! I hae a friend who works for Apple - if you're curious, he said this . . .
    "Add a rule in your Mail preferences that can either be global for all new email or for specific emails. You can have it ignore the unimportant ones. The rule can be: if new mail received, then bounce mail icon in dock. As for sound that should just be the General preference for New Mail. You choose which system sound to use. Sometimes system sounds get funky, especially when using other sound sources sound editing/hacking software. This causes all system sounds to stop. You may notice trash not emptying or iChat not being audible for incoming/outgoing messages. To fix this, you need to open Activity Monitor app and force quit the coreaudio process. It'll auto relaunch and your sounds should be back.
    Hope this helps,
    M"
    And this basically completely agrees with you! Thanks again - problem solved!

  • Hi I am having problems removing mail from trash folder. Can anyone help please

    Hi I am having problems removing mail from trash folder. I can send mails to the folder but cannot delete them permanently from the trash folder. I am using Iphone 3G and anm up to date with OS. Can anyone help please

    Check that there isn't a different Trash folder to the one with the proper Trash symbol on it.
    If you see one in your list of folders rather than a separate one, highlight it, then click on Mailbox...Use this mailbox for...Trash

  • The swoosh sound my iphone5 made when I moved mail to trash has stopped.  How do I get it back?

    The swoosh sound my iphone5 made when I moved mail to trash has stopped.  How do I get it back?

    First quit and restart Mail and see if the sound returns. BTW it is selected in Settings > Sounds correct?
    Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.
    If that doesn't work try a reboot of your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Custom header reading of bounce mail

    Hi,
    When I send a mail to invalid mail address on gmail server, form the bounce mail able to read the custom headers using javax.mail api.
    But when I send mail to invalid user on MS Exchange server, from the bounce mail I got, not able to read the custom headers using javax.mail. But the outlook shows (by looking at the option) the custom header is present. I think I may be missing some configuration while reading the mail from mail server using javax.mail. and not reading all the headers. (but its working with other email servers like gmail)

    First, you need to understand that it's up to the
    destination server what it returns, if anything, when
    you send a message to an invalid address.
    In this case, if sounds like the destination server has
    returned a message that includes all the headers
    you want to see, but you can only see them using
    Outlook and not when using JavaMail.
    Note that Outlook typically uses a Microsoft proprietary
    protocol to talk to Exchange, so it's possible for it to
    see and do things that are not possible using the
    standard internet protocols that JavaMail uses.
    You'll probably need to consult an Exchange expert
    to see if there are configuration options that control
    what information it makes available to internet
    protocol clients in this case.

  • Tracking of Bounced Mails

    Hi Friends,
    I am using Solaris outside a fire wall.
    I have a program which send mails to the receipients by making use of javax.mail package.
    The question is the mails are going perfectly fine but sometimes the mails are not going and I had also checked with the network at that time and it is fine.
    Now, I would like to track all the messages which are not sent and why??
    Where can I get those messages?
    I had checked the root mail of my solaris machine and there are no bounced mails.
    If it comes to the root mail is there any way that we can forward those mails to our personnel id's so that we can send them again>
    Regards,
    Shankar Medapati

    Hi Jay,
    Thanks for the concern...
    We r using the SMTP Server for sending mails.
    The problem I am facing is the SMTP properties I am using could not able to send mails to the receipients with addresses involving "co.in","@co.name.com",etc.
    But the problem I don't understand is when I send mails from the development environment where my app server and mail server are within the firewall there is no problem,but my app server resides outside the fire wall and my mail server resides with in the firewall. Please tell me weather there are any other settings to be done in the app server or mail server to handle this problem.

  • Strange Mail/Gmail trash behavior - syncing trash

    I'm using Apple Mail (2.1.3) with Gmail (IMAP) with my Mailbox Behaviors set: Store drafts on server (checked) Store sent (unchecked) Store junk (checked) Move deleted messages to Trash (checked) Store deleted messages on server (unchecked).
    I'd like to have my Trash in Mail synced with Trash in Gmail but I can't seem to make this happen. All that appears in my Gmail trash when I composed/send/receive/delete email in Mail is many iterations of any email I compose. What seems to be happening is when I compose email in Mail, a snapshot of the draft is placed in my Gmail Trash folder periodically. If I spend 30 minutes composing an email, I will end up with 10-15 snapshots of the draft taken periodically while I was writing the email.
    I've tried a variety of combinations of Mail preferences with no change in this behavior. Anyone have any ideas? I don't really mind the snapshotting, but I would like to sync the two Trash folders if possible.
    Also, what is the difference between the Trash folder and Deleted Messages folder in Mail? When I check "Store deleted messages on server" in Mail preferences, a Deleted Messages folder appears in Mail and acts like Trash used to (it receives deleted messages and the old Trash folder stays empty). Neither one is synced with the Gmail trash folder...
    Thanks for any help!

    I've been playing with this also lately and being new to both Gmail and Apple Mail I agree that it's a little tricky. My only comment is that with regards to Trash and Deleted Messages, "Deleted Messages" appears to be a Gmail label that Apple Mail assigns to messages when you delete them (which also creates a corresponding folder in Apple Mail) - whereas Trash is the official [Gmail]\Trash folder. Due to the redundancy Google recommends NOT checking the "Move deleted messages to Trash".

  • Can you disable the Bounce Mail confirmation?

    I like the Bounce Mail function (although I wonder how effective it will be) but I hate having to confirm the command when I use it. Does anyone know if that can be disabled?

    don't think you can.
    hope this helps

  • How to delete mail and trash in OSX 10.9.2 without opening them

    How do you delete mail and trash in OSX 10.9.2 without opening them.  I don't want to open suspect mail that might cause a problem.

    I think you can just drag it to the trash folder.  Otherwise you have to select it and press delete.  If you have the preview window going, just selecting it will open it.  So you have to have the preview window closed.
    P.S.
    I don't think you can get into any trouble just opening a message in Apple Mail.

  • I keep getting this message: Mail can't connect to the account: "Sbcglobal". Enter the password... So I do and it opens up, but later it will happen again. It's not earth-shattering, but I have to stop what I'm doing to get rid of the bouncing Mail icon.

    If your password is accepted, and Mail connects to the account, but you're prompted for the password repeatedly, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Note: these steps don't apply if the server rejects the password. That's a different problem.
    Step 1
    When prompted for the password, check the box marked Remember this password in my keychain.
    Step 2
    Check that the keychain is working.
    Step 3
    Check that the default keychain is unlocked.
