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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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..

    How do I permenently delete yahoo bulk mail folder on my iMac?

    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.

  • 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.

  • Why "Bulk Mail" foder does not display number of unread messages unless I click the folder (Yahoo mail through IMAP)?

    Yahoo mail account's "Spam" folder (as viewed through "Yahoo mail" web interface) is displayed in Thunderbird as "Bulk Mail" (IMAP). Looking at the account's foders in Thunderbird I see the number of unread messages in each folder. "Bulk Mail" appears always to be empty. If I click the "Bulk Mail" folder, then magically messages appear in message list, and the number of unread messages is displayed next to folder name, like in all other folders of this account.
    Why I need to touch the "Bulk Mail" folder in order to see the number of messages in it?
    Yahoo deletes messages from this folder at certain periods. I'm in danger of loosing messages unless I remember to touch all of my Yahoo account's Bulk Mail folders in Thunderbird.
    How I can get "Bulk Mail" folder to show the number of unread messages like all other folders of the same account do?
    Thunderbird 24.6.0, Windows 7 Enterprise (Sp1)
    pekka

    I don't use IMAP in Thunderbird, so I can't provide step-by-step instructions, however, other e-mail programs have settings for whether or not to synchronize each individual folder on a schedule or using push IMAP (vs when clicked). If Thunderbird has those settings, I would expect them to appear in the folder properties or account settings. Perhaps this will be helpful, but I don't know if you've already done some digging like this or not.
    FYI, a quick search brought me to this page:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configuration-options-folders
    One item listed in that page is this:
    Configure IMAP folders, connections and namespaces
    Menu location: Tools | Account Settings | <account name> | Server Settings | Advanced
    Perhaps that would be a good place to start since it does mention IMAP folder connections, but folder properties still might be an easier place to peek first, just in case. For that, the site lists this:
    Configure folder properties (IMAP folders only)
    Menu location: Edit | Folder Properties | General Information
    However, I think you could right-click on the "Bulk Mail" folder and hit properties in the pop-up menu.

  • Unified Junk Folder dont show Yahoo Bulk Mail even when manually added

    I have set View-Folders to Unified. This shows single Junk folder with Accounts name as its sub-folders.
    The Left side pane listing is somewhat like this:
    Junk
    - GMAccount1
    - GMAccount2
    All accounts are IMAP accounts.
    I also have Yahoo IMAP account where Junk folder is named as Bulk Mail.
    By default thunderbird does not consider it as Junk folder so what I do is:
    1) Right click on top-level unified junk folder and go to properties
    2) Under "Select the folders to search" I manually add Yahoo accounts Bulk Mail folder.
    After adding I expect that, the left hand side listing would become:
    Junk
    - GMAccount1
    - GMAccount2
    - YahooAccountName
    But it does not show YahooAccount as a subfolder. (Even after restarting thunderbird)
    But surprisingly, when I click on top level unified junk folder, then it shows the e-mails in "Bulk Mail" in the right hand side pane.
    Which means there is a minor display bug which does not display the folders included in Unified folder.
    Please let me know if there is right solution or please correct the bug.
    Thank you.

    I found a solution:
    Goto YahooAccount's properties
    Junk Settings
    Under Destination and Retention
    Check Move new junk messages to:
    Other: Bulk mail on YahooAccount
    Restart thunderbird
    This way thunderbird knows this is junk folder and then starts displaying it under "Unified Junk" folder.
    This solve the problem but I suppose this should not be needed.
    Any account mentioned in "Select the folders to search" (in properties of unified folder - as mentioned above), should be displayed under that "unified folder"

  • Why now in or new iMac there is a folder for bulk mail from yahoo? What it's  "bulk mail"

    How to erase yahoo bulk mail folder and why you need one?

    I talked to my service provider and he told me this:
    When the apple mail program sets up automatically it does so with imap and not pop 3. In doing so it creates that bulk mail add on.
    I don't know why but I think it is an Apple issue.
    I simply just don't use the apple mail program and downloaded thunderbird instead.
    Maybe someone who has apple support can contact therm and find out what is going on.

  • Is there a way that bulk mail won't pop up in notification center?

    So I have a yahoo! email attached to my Mac Mail and all junk mail/spam gets filtered into a "bulk mail" folder that I just delete every few days. I like notification center showing me popups when I receive new mail but it also shows me notifications for these bulk mails so in the top corner of my screen I'll see "FREE PERSCRIPTION MEDICATIONS" and whatnot. These emails don't count towards "new unread mail" as I don't get the little number over the icon that I have unread mail when I get these. So is there a way to change the settings so that these don't have pop-up notifications? Presently i just turned off the notifications for all email so I don't have to hear about enlargement pills, but if there was a way to just remove these that would be fantastic.
    Thanks in advance

    Yes, this is very awkward.
    There is some setting that lets us receive notifications only for messages coming into the Inbox. That may work for you, Monica, try it out:
    Mail>Preferences>General>New Message Notifications>Inbox Only.
    But this solution won't work for me, because I have rules set to direct incoming messages into multiple folders, so a lot of my important mail ends up in places other than Inbox. I would need an "Except Bulk and Junk" option, and sadly enough, it isn't there.
    And this question was not answered / commented since the first week of August?.. Hmm..

  • Yahoo! Buil Mail folder - How to auto-empty it

    Like many other users of Apple Mail.app, I have my Yahoo mail account managed in Mail.app.
    Yahoo's spam filter automatically puts some of the incoming messages into the Bulk Mail folder. That's fine with me. But, I am getting tired of emptying this Bulk Mail folder all the time.
    Is there a way to have a Mail.app rule, or any other approach, to automatically delete any message in the Bulk Mail folder, then empty the Trash?

    I'm trying to figure this one out too.  Yahoo! Mail doessn't give you any POP options for preventing the Bulk Mail download to iMac unless you pay for Yahoo's premium email.  Ain't that a peach?

  • Yahoo Bulk Mail....

    I seem to notice now that when I use Yahoo mail on my old 2g iPhone, the bulk mail folder says there are messages but when I click LOAD MORE MESSAGES, nothing comes in.

    The following all applies to POP accounts. It assume it can apply to IMAP, too, but I have no direct experience with Yahoo IMAP accounts.
    So: In order to ensure that mail from a given address NEVER gets treated as spam, click the "add to address book" link next to the "From:" line of the message. (You need to do this from Yahoo's webmail interface, not from inside Mail.app or iPhone mail.)
    There's no guaranteed way to make sure that mail from a given address will ALWAYS get treated as spam. You can label it as spam (again, in the webmail interface: click the "spam" button), but in my experience that doesn't necessarily mean anything.
    You can also choose whether or not to download mail that is in your bulk folder. As above, this is a setting on the Yahoo side, NOT on the client side, so you have to use your web browser. Once in your mailbox, click on the "Mail options" link, and one of the options should control whether you download spam or not.
    If you turn on the option to not download spam, the spam will reside in your bulk folder for 30 days, but you will never see it in a client program such as Mail.app. It's therefore a good idea to check the bulk folder through a web browser every now and then, to make sure there isn't any mail you wanted in there.
