Bulk mail folder on new ipad

My new ipad has a folder under Mail called "Bulk Mail." I clicked on this and saw several emails that I hadn't rec'd on my Macbook. What does Bulk Mail mean, and why are these emails on my ipad but not on my Macbook? The emails are from a friend, and we had been talking about my not receiving them on my computer. Yet, here they are on my ipad. What gives?

My email acct on my Macbook does not have a Bulk Mail folder. That's why I was unfamiliar with the term.
I will see what I can do with the spam filters on my Macbook's Mail. As I recall, though, you first have to receive an email before you can label it Not Junk. I'm not even receiving my friend's emails on the Macbook, and I don't want to have to check both the Macbook and the ipad to make sure I haven't missed anything.
Thanks for steering me in the right direction.

Cannot move junk email to Bulk Mail folder in Yahoo, greyed out

I've searched but so far no luck. Ever since I added my two Yahoo email accounts on my iPhone 4, I cannot seem to send junk email from my inbox to my Bulk Mail folder, it is greyed out. First off, I've confirmed that the Bulk Mail folder on my iPhone is the same as my Spam folder in Yahoo mail on the desktop. I can see the same emails in both folders. Anyone have the same experience and found a way to correct this, or is this just a Yahoo limitation?

I am having the same problem, but I'm not very clear on how to follow the steps.
went to my yahoo account in IOS;
hit edit, hit "new mailbox" at the bottom right corner of the screen;
entered a name;
below that, it has "Mailbox Location", I opened it;
it list all my personal folders, I am stuck here.
How do I "point the mailbox location to the Bulk Mail folder", as instructed? Am I missing a step?
This is for iPhone 4S, with the latest released version. Thank you!

Deleting bulk mail folder

How do I delete the bulk mail folder in my yahoo email on my iPad2?

From what I see you can't delete the bulk folder.
However if you sign in to your web mail and look at settings you can select that the spam mail not be sent.
I haven't checked another thing out but it may work.
When I signed up my emails with a new imac, I noted that it created an imap program rather than a pop3.
Maybe deleting your accounts and then setting them up as a pop3 and smtp, you might avoid these bulk folders.

HT2500 How do you delete bulk mail folder in Mail program?

In my Mail program on my MacBook Air there is a Bulk Mail Folder usually full of annoying junk mail. How do I eliminate this folder so I don't get Bulk mail anymore?

Hi Macmonter,
i have seen the complete post here and realised that your answer should have been selected as most useful, unfortunately Charlie7 didn't tried it and hence it was ignored. I still appreciate your experiemnt.
I am pretty new to this community thing, but i did a lot of experiments with Mail application and hence i m writing this post specifically which might be helpful to others. I use Yahoo Mail (only) for all online services like Facebook, G+, LinkedIn, Twitter etc. all possible. It's my central ID now and i cant change it any more. Going online and checking yahoo mail is sometimes very resource taking hence i decided to use mail client like Mail.app. Let me tell you that i personally tried all other mail apps including thunderbird but noticed one very imp thing that when u use Mail.app then your mails 7 their attachments are automatically indexed by Mac OS which is very important feature and when you search something then it searches within your mail also, this is really awesome. This will not happen if u use thunderbird or any other mail client. Also you get to use free Cloud with auto sync. Now this also tells you that I am stuck with 2 (idiotic) giants : Yahoo & Mac OSX Mail.
The thing is, Yahoo now uses IMAP (prior it was POP). IMAP has many advantages over POP for sure. Basically when you use multiple devices, filters and folders and want all those things in Sync. Google for more comparison, but let me tell you IMAP is really good. Now the problem is, Yahoo has powerful spam engine but it calls it 'Bulk Mail'. Apple also has powerful Spam Engine but they call it 'Junk'. So some how you have make apple understand that they are the same words, which is suggested by Mr. Macmonter which is really a great & very useful thing. If you mark 'Bulk Mail' folder as 'Use As Junk' then you are done. All messages from Bulk folder will be routed to Junk and you will see common Junk Folder.
I know there are people who dont want to see that Junk at all! And for that this is smart trick :
Configure your Yahoo as IMAP (which is default). Clear all messages from online Bulk Mail folder using browser login. Then Sync so all your online folders are downloaded if any and all your mails. Basically this is for people who has created online filters and folders (i have 12 folders)
Once your account is in Sync, disconnect. Export all your folders one by one slowly. It takes times if you have many mails and attachments. Once this is done successfully, DELETE this account!
Now create Yahoo POP account. Apple dont allow you to do this now, but there is trick. You will have to give wrong user-pass and shift to manual settings and there you can give correct server config which should be POP settings of Yahoo. And take this account online.
In online Yahoo Mail, set 'Do not download spam' under POP and Forwarders. So this will only start downloading Inbox messages. Remember POP dont see any other folders, hence we removed all filters and downloaded all folders. IT will download all mails coming to Inbox filtering Spam. So you never see spam. If you want to see some then you can go online periodically and check manually.
Now import your recently exported folders in this account and create filters and rules in Mail.app for routing of incoming messages for particular messages.
This gives you all old messages, pure inbox from yahoo, 2 way spam filter yahoo & Mac, and local routing of messages with index, smart folders and cloud! Only thing you dont get here is Sync with multiple devices if you have iMac, Air & iPhone. But there i suggest you to keep one of them as center for downloads and others should keep just 15days old copy. This will also save your resources!
Enjoy..

Bulk Mail folder

I have just been migrated to BT Mail. Is it possible to delete the (Yahoo) Bulk Mail folder now that my spam goes to the new BT Spam folder? What is the Y Conversation folder? I have not noticed it before.

Have you set up the account on your smartphone email app as IMAP? If so then you should be able to sync with the Spam folder just like the Inbox and all the other folders on the server. Whether or not the app auto-syncs at regular time intervals and you get notifications for new messages may well depend on the particular settings your app has for the account. You can usually choose to change such things on a folder by folder basis through the app settings, though it might depend on which app you are using.
Unless I'm mistaken my Android smartphone email app (K-9) notifies me when any new messages arrive, including Spam.
The standard five server folders for your account are Inbox, Sent, Drafts, Spam, Trash. You can add other personal server folders if you wish to, the simple way being through the webmail interface. If you add/remove personal server folders you might need to manually refresh the folder list on the app.

I just discovered I have over 700 emails in the Bulk Mailer folder. Is there a way to delete them all in one step?

I cannot open all email attachment files(pdf, doc, etc) in Mail on my New IPad.

I cannot open all email attachment files(pdf, doc, etc) in Mail on my New IPad. I installed all viewer apps but I am not able to click and hold to select the option of viewer apps to open the files. I dont get the "open with" option when I click on the arrow in the menu bar. I can open attachment files on G-mail website from Safari though. It is really ridiculous that I cannot open the files from Apple Mail app! What's wrong with it!!

We cannot possible know what's wrong with it. But we can offer suggestions that might help.
Try resetting the iPad - its like rebooting a computer.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This might help as well.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again

Is there a way to reverse the order of incoming mail in the new iPad?

I want to reverse the order of incoming mail on my new iPad. I want the oldest on top. I can't seem to find where or even if I can do this. Anyone know for sure? Thanks!

The Mail app only supports having the most recent at the top. You could see if any third-party email apps support it, or access your account via a browser (you can create a Safari shortcut on your iPad's homescreen for your login page).

Does yahoo push not work for bulk mail folder?

I don't seem to be having any problems with yahoo push in my Inbox, but it doesn't seem to be working for my bulk mail. I have to actually go into my bulk mail folder for it to update. Is this normal? Thanks!

That is normal activity. Works the exact same way on tests phones we have set up. Bulk/junk mail is not something that all would like getting pushed through.

1. No.
2. You either buy a download code for Mountain Lion from the online Apple Store or get Yosemite from the Mac App Store.
3. Game Center isn’t part of 10.7.5.

How do I clear the Sent mail folder on my ipad?

I have an ipad mini and just noticed that the Sent Mail folder is not being periodically cleared as I assumed it was.
Now I have nearly 18 months worth of Sent messages, and I can't find anyway to clear out those messages other than clicking on each individual message one by one and deleting them. With 18 months worth of messages it will take forever to delete them all one by one.
There must be some way to clear the folder or to mark a range of messages for deletion?

Unfortunately you are correct (and I was wrong - I just looked on my iPad ). I have my mail set up on my computer and manage the retention there.
I looked to see if there is a way (on an iPad) and could not find one.

HT201320 lost original message - how do I set up Windows mail on my new ipad to create new email messages?

Lost original message. How do I set up Windows email on my new ipad so that I can create new emails?

I responded to the question that you can't seem to find. You have to use whatever email provider that you have .... Yahoo, Gmail, whoever you have,
Did you try adding your email account to the iPad in Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Add Account?
This may be helpful.

After you add your email account you can send and receive emails in the iPad Mail App.

Other folder on new iPad is 10gb?

The other folder on my new iPad is 10gb and I can't reduce it in size? I do not even know what files these are? Any help would be appreciated as space is limited already.
Thanks

Usually when the "Other" space is that large it is cause by a bad sync which causes some media files to be not properly recognized. When it happens a new copy of the media files is transferred and the corrupted files are not deleted from the device. The only real fix is to Restore the iPad using iTunes. Restore will erase all media files so all recent purchases should be transferred to the computer first. The back up files do not contain media or app files, only settings and other data.
Restore the iPad by clicking the Restore button on the iPad's Summary page in iTunes. Once it has downloaded the restore file it will ask if you want to restore your settings from a back up which you will choose your iPad's back up. This will ensure a clean re-install of the iPad's software. Right clicking the iPad in iTunes and choosing Restore will simply restore the settings and not the iPad's iOS which cleans it out.

Sync mail accounts to new iPad Mini

I just got a new iPad Mini, and going to set it up, didn't there used to be a way to sync all one's email accounts, when it was setup and plugged into iTunes? I could have swore there was a check box, that you selected, and all your different email accounts one had, was transferred and added to your iOS device, but am not seeing it now... do I actually have to go in and manually add each and every email account?! It does my iCloud email, which is fine, but that's it... there are my own domain email addresses, my gmail, my local ISP email account...
Didn't that used to be in iTunes the way for those to be synced and added to one's device, without having to go in and do them all individually? If that abilitiy is still there, where is it now? If no longer the case now - what? Are we to add them manually each and every one?!
Please, someone say it's the former and not the latter.
Thank you for your time and help you may provide. All the best to you,
JPH

Hi, Demo...
I actually discovered this awhile ago when trying to get my email accounts onto my iPhone, and ended up having to go in and manually add each and every email account into my phone, after seeing that the ability in iTunes to sync all one's email accounts was no longer there... But, with the new iPad Mini now, was not wanting to have to go in and do it all again, and so was checking to see if I was just missing it, and apparently I am not, and it is no longer there to do so.
When I set up my iPad, I even had it backup from my iPhone's latest backup, but it still did not add the email accounts... Like you, I have the latest version of everything... am going to go in and see what I can do... maybe backup my iPhone again, and then just do a restore of my iPad Mini to that latest iPhone backup... though I really don't want to do that as I spent a good portion after getting the iPad yesterday of setting my iPad up to how I wanted everything, to now go erase all that!
Or, maybe I will just get ahold of Apple Support
Thanks for your time, Demo, I appreciate it. All the best to you,
JPH
