Bulk mail problem
Way too many emails in my bulk mail folder...
I'm a new MAC user, wondering how to reduce these emails, or have them automatically go to the trash folder.
Are these emails you have subscribed to or are they unsolicited spam messages? Without more detials on the types of messages and your exactly how they are landing in your bulk mail folder it's hard to be more specific.
For Spam I like a third party app, SpamSieve. http://c-command.com/spamsieve/
For newsletters, announcements etc. you can either unsubscribe or create a rule to move these directly to the trash.
If any...
Sender is member of group xxxx (you would need to add the addresses to Contacts and assign to group)
Delete Message
There are also other options like "sender is not in my contacts" but this can be tricky and good mail might get deleted.

Would like to know how to delete bulk mail please
iOS (whether 6.1 or other) is for iPhone, iPad, and iPod. iOS does not run on any Mac.
(1) Please tell us which device has the bulk mail problem.
If your trouble is with mail on your MacBook Pro,
use your MBP's > About this Mac... menu command to find and tell us:
(2) which Mac OS X version you are using on the MBP, and
(3) which mail program you are use on your MBP,
(OS X "Mail" or name the different mail program you use.)
Someone will offer specific suggestions based on the details you provide.

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! -
Setting up ExecutorService to manage a group in a bulk mailer
I'm trying to write a bulk mailer for a scheduling application which deals with groups of people. What I'm trying to do is to takes a collection and split into the individuals and then use newCachedThreadPool() to build and send the message in a separate thead so that the mailer doesn't affect the rest of the application. I've got the body being built successfully but instead of getting it to send individually, it is sending multiple times to the same address, so if I have five addresses, it can send five copies of the same mail to the last address five times and ignore the first four. I'm also trying to ensure that it has only one address in the TO field as well (which was what was happening in the non-concurrent version) but the pool appears to want to add all the addresses into one to field when it does send.

}I'd be grateful for any pointers.Hi BaroqueThoughts,
I've pasted your code into an IDE and it looks like that the sendMail class is a inner class, with the listed variables as fields of the parent class
private Calendar cal1;
private String sender;
private String recip;
private String subject1;
private ArrayList<String> recip1;
class sendMail implements Runnable I notice in the run() method the field recip1 is used, the scope of this variable will be of the parent class not the inner class (sendMail). This means that all instances of sendMail will access the same list, which being an ArrayList alone is not really suited for multithreaded usage.
public sendMail (Calendar cal1, String sender,
ArrayList<String> recip1, String subject1) {
}The above constructor does nothing with the passed in values, none of the variables are stored in a field of the class. By coincidence there appear to be variables with the same names and types declared in the parent class (which the inner class can access) so there's no compilation problems.
pool.execute(new sendMail(cal1, sender, recip1, subject1));If you hadn't guessed by now that means the variables your entering into the sendMail() constructor during the mailEntity() are not being used, the variables held in the parent class are the ones being used.
In short, I'd say that the problems your experiencing are most likely due to concurrent accessing of fields.
Pointer: Refactor the Runnable class into it's own file and so making it a public class, this will should all the fields that you will need to control access to or relocate (e.g. synchronize / volatile / use different API class/ factor out into runnable class). -
Can't delete bulk mail message because can't see end of error message
My problem started trying to send bulk mail. I received the message "cannot send message using the server outgoing..... The server “outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net” did not recognize the following recipients:"
The problem is it is showing all the addresses I put in which doesn't end at the bottom of the screen. I guess at the end of the box, there must be some kind of choice I can click, but I just can't see it. I tried changing the screen resolution but still can't see the end of the message. I have to Force Quit to get out of Mail. How can I delete this message?I am having exactly the same problem as I run a rugby club and am trying to sent to circa 500 people. However I get exactly the same problem you have described. The only way I have found of getting rid of the offending message is to quit\force quit mail and then relaunching. If it tries to send again I turn off AIrport and this puts the message into the outbox from where you can delete it.
Some ISP's in th UK limit how may recipients you can send a mail to to stop bulk mailers but the mac servers will sometimes let you send to in excess of 60.
I'll try and let you know if I find a way around this. -
Receiving Xrated emails in my bulk mail.
Even though these xrated emails are going to my bulk mail in my Iphone 3gs, I still have to delete them (one at a time) and some of the messages can be seen. These are for males only and I find them very obscene and I am receiving them as many as 10 at one time.
Very irritating. Another problem that goes to my inbox are emails titled "no sender, no message ". I would not mind them so much if there were not so many----20 or so at one time. A phone call to AT&T did not help.
I have also noticed that in settings my account shows twice and I believe I may be receiving some emails twice. Can I safely delete one? Thanks for any information and advice.what you are seeing is backscatter http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backscatter_%28email%29
There is nothing anyone can do about it. -
Hello... we are a small local newspaper. We have been using Satori's Bulk Mailer program (v. 4) for our subscriptions and mailing labels. We have to upgrade because the reports are no longer accurate. The bad news is that after speaking with Satori, Postal Soft, Interlink there are NO bulk mailing programs that operate on Mac's. Our office is totally Mac. And, none of them have an Intel chip so we can't run Parallels. Question 1- Does anyone have another bulk mailing program to recommend. (the cheapest I can find is $995/year) Question 2- I understand that Virtual PC runs terrible slow. But, if a Bulk Mail program is the only thing we will run in that, will it "kill" all the stuff she will also be running on the Mac side? Question 3- Anybody have any other suggestions??
We've been looking at this problem. One answer might to be Mass Mailer for Mac but we haven't tried it yet.

Bulk mail, bulk mail, and more bulk mail
I cannot understand this. I have five or six assorted mail accounts that all feed into my Apple Mail. The spam mostly gets filtered out -- by Yahoo or Google-- before I see it. My husband has only one Yahoo account and one Mail account, which has the same preferences set as mine. He gets more than four hundred "Bulk Mail" messages every day. The number of new messages and the number of bulk messages is usually the same. He uses OS 10.6 on a Macbook which I used previously -- without this problem.
Any suggestions as to what I/he should do? Can I just delete the Bulk folder? I have checked and recheched the Yahoo settings; the bulk stuff doesn't show there?
TIAYahoo has a blacklist of servers which send out spam.
There are individuals that feel at least some on the blacklist are on it unfairly.
Yahoo routes all of the e-mail from its blacklist to the Yahoo "Spam" folder (along with all of the other spam e-mail).
There are e-mail clients that attempt to address the above issue by selecting the e-mail in Yahoo's "Spam" folder that is there because it is blacklisted and putting it in a different folder commonly named "Bulk Mail".
These "Bulk Mail" folders are often baked into the e-mail client and may be difficult to modify. -
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.

Use This Mailbox for... not working for Yahoo Bulk Mail
Hello!
I have a Mac Pro and MacBook Pro, both running Mountain Lion. My two Yahoo mail accounts are successfully set up via Mail on both Macs. I was able to use the "Use this Mailbox for..." command to assign the Drafts, Sent and Trash for each account to the respective Yahoo folders (so I don't have duplicate folders). The problem is trying to do the same for the Bulk Mail folders.
On my Mac Pro, I was able to successfully select the Yahoo Bulk Mail folders for each account and use "Use this Mailbox for... --> Junk" and it worked, no problems. On the MacBook Pro, however, when I attempt to do the same thing, it doesn't seem to take. Nothing happens...the Bulk Mail folder in each account remains separate in each account's folders, instead of moving up under the Mailboxes above the VIPs, Drafts, Sent and Trash.
I've tried Rebuilding the mailboxes, and eventually deleting the accounts and re-adding them to Mail on the MBP...still can't get the Bulk Mail folders to assign to Junk. The others (Drafts, Sent, Trash), no problems.
Suggestions?Well, after literally months of searching, and trying to find different search terms to find the answer, I finally solved it.
Here 'tis: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4247124 -
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" -
I cannot send or reply to a frequent email address. It is now being blocked as bulk mail by the filter. It is not brown for junk, it does not show up in the junk folder. I have tried sending having disabled junk mail filter and reeive same error message. I have restarted. I have sent to reply all, as this is sent and returned to members of a committee all fromdifferent organizations. All but this one send will receive my reply and/or new message. Any suggestions appreciated.
This sounds like something at your or his mail provider, rather than something that Apple Mail is doing. Ideally, I'd want to see more detail in that error message, which may indicate where exactly the message is being sent from and how to rectify the problem.
If you get this kind of "bounceback" error mail when you send mail to him, that suggests that his mail provider is blocking your email.
If you can't receive his emails, that suggests that your email provider is blocking his mail.
This kind of "spam block" is often done automatically, if a lot of email is sent or received from certain kinds of email addresses. Usually, you can contact the mail provider and have them remove the block.

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 stop bulk mail showing up in notification center on iphone5s?
How do I stop bulk mail from showing up in the notification center?
The attachments are not embedded. It is called inline or viewed in place which is different.
When attaching image/photo attachments and smaller PDF attachments (1-2) pages, these type of attachments are shown inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default which cannot be turned off - when sending and receiving.
You can control-click on a viewed in place attachment and select View as Icon. Regardless, all Mail.app attachments are sent as true attachments to the message.
Depending on the recipient's email client and available preference settings, such attachments may appear inline or viewed in place with the message is opened by the recipient (as with the Mail.app) or as attached files only which must be opened separately for which we have no control over.
I prefer this feature since it ensures that I have selected the correct image/photo attachment before the message is sent and I always add all attachments after I've finished composing the message below all text.
You can use a 3rd party Mail.app plugin called Mail Attachments Iconizer which can be downloaded at the following link.
http://lokisw.com/index.php?item=MailAttachmentsIconizer
Regarding the two attachments that appear, the extra attachment is the Apple resource fork for the file which is invisible to fellow Mac users. This doesn't occur with all Windows users since it depends on the Windows version and email client and version the recipient is running.
Beginning with Panther (10.3), the Mail.app includes a send Windows Friendly Attachments feature.
Check Windows users have problems with files I send and be sure to include the filename extensions, such as .doc, in the names of all files you send to Windows recipients. This way the files can be read by a Windows application. -
Regular mail is coming through just fine, but having a problem with bulk mail. Shows there are messages, but doesn't load to read. I've checked my settings(seem right),deleted/added account, and reset phone...problem persists.
I'm facing the same problem since 27 Dec 2010, can't find and fix for this problem.
I can download other mail accounts except imap.gmail.com, it just show loading and nothing happen, and it also choke up almost all my internet bandwidth.
I gave up and switched to outlook for mac and no such problem.
Hope apple can look into this problem and I'm sure there are more out there having same issue.
