Delete junk folder in ios 8

hi
i noticed i cant delete the junk folder created sutomatically by mail app in ios 8. I want to delete it because i use imap and i already have a "spam" folder And it is just bugging me when i see it. It was possible to delete it in the past but not anymore (i say this because an old account added doesnt show up such folder).
any idea how to remove it?

Solved this issue with the help of Sean from Apple – thanks Sean!
I had mistakenly set up this email account on my computer as a POP account instead of an IMAP account. Since I never use POP accounts, it didn't occur to me to check this until I had talked with Sean who suggested that something didn't seem right with the account setup. Changing the account to IMAP still doesn't give a "Select All", "Delete All" option in the folder on my phone, but now the folder is synced to my email account on my computer and deletes messages on the phone when they are deleted on the computer. I suspect that the other preferences, like "Delete in one day" etc. will also work now.
Another thing to be aware of is that this seems to be an issue with accounts that are not icloud or gmail accounts and so it's possible to login to your 3rd party email account and use the mail interface there to edit the contents of folders like the Junk folder. Probably best to get your email account settings set up correctly, but in the mean time, this is a way to delete messages from a burgeoning folder.
Apologies to Apple for the "poorly planned omission" comment above. (I hate it when I do that!)

How to delet edited folder? (iOS iPhoto )

How to delet edited folder? (iOS iPhoto )
Who can teach me? Thanks a lot.

The edited photo album is where the recipes for the edits you made are stored. The Edited folder is created and removed automatically by iPhoto for iOS. It will disappear when there are no edited photos.
If you want to remove the edited photos go to each photo and select revert to Original. That will delete the edited version. Once all edited photos have been Reversted to their original version, the Edited Photos album will disappear.
Of course the next time you edit a photo the album will return.
Note that the Edited Photos album only shows in iPhoto for iOS. It does not appear in the Photos app.

Empty junk folder in iOS 8

In iOS8 on iPhone 6, I have 3 email accounts, 1 Gmail, 1 icloud, and one through my own domain. I am not able to quickly (in one step) empty the junk mailbox on the account from my domain. "Select all" > delete is what I'm looking for but it's not available. Only options are "mark all (read our unread)" and flag which don't help. Has anyone found a solution to this poorly planned omission?

How do I make a junk folder to replace the one I accidently deleted?

I was having trouble with an undeletable, "ghost" e-mail in one of my junk folders, and the folder itself was uneditable. In the process of following all the advice from my Mac users group (resets, rebuilds, user library, preferences, etc.) I accidently deleted the offending folder. How do I make a new one? The junk mail folders in my other accounts are working fine, but now any junk that comes in for the deleted folder "disappears" (and it's not in my user library folder.) Weird...

Well, halleluyah, my accidently deleted junk folder is back and empty!
Once I got an unwanted email that was addressed correctly with my real mailbox name, I manually labeled it junk and then the mailbox reappeared itself. (D'uh!)
So: if anyone else has an invisible junk email in an empty junk folder that says '1' email is in there and the "rebuild" command under "mailbox" drop down menu is greyed out, here's what finally worked:
Keep a (correctly addressed) junk email in your inbox. Delete the damaged junk folder. Close Mail. Shut down. Start up. Open Mail and select the junk email in the inbox. Label it as junk by using the drop down command on the emasil header bar. Ta Da! It will make a new junk folder with the e-mail address as a name and send itself there. You can then delete the junk email..I suggest using the drop down menu or right click the mouse.to do so.
If you don't have any junk emails to save, you'll end up having to do what I did...delete the junk folder and wait for a new email that can be labeled junk.
Hope this saves someone else some grief.

Cannot delete files from Mail Junk folder

I have an issue with Mail. I have two messages without content that cannot be deleted from the Junk folder. I can change the classification (junk to not junk); try to move them to another folder, but nothing works. This problem is unique to my MacBook Air -- I have the same programs and files on my office MacBook Pro and there is no issue -- I was able to delete the same files without an issue.

I am running mac 10.6.7
I have tried updating the software, operating system,
Then you should have Mac OS X 10.6.8

2. Make sure photostream is turned ON
3. Take a picutre, and wait for it to appear in the Photostream.
4. Go into setting and turn off photostream, deleting all pictures, and getting rid of the photostream album.

How can I delete a junk folder I accidentally created in an IMAP email account

I need to know if anyone knows how to delete a junk folder. I created the folder by accident in a IMAP email account. It's empty and I don't need it . I don't want to delete the account and re- install it. Any ideas?

I don't have my iPad set to sync that email account. So my folders are not the same as my IPad. I didn't have the junk folder till I accidentally sent a email to the junk folder and the IPad created a junk folder for that email account. Now there isn't a way to remove the folder,even though it is empty.

Can I recover my junk folder and its contents after I inadvertently deleted the folder, and then empties my trash?

I inadvertently deleted my entire junk folder which contained some valuable messages. I then right clicked and deleted my trash. Can this junk folder or its messages be recovered?

If your mail server has a browser interface (webmail access such as mail.google.com), do the messages show up there? Otherwise, there is probably nothing left to do.

Can't delete the messages in Junk folder like before

Hi,
I used to be able to right click on the Junk folder in Mail and select Delete Junk messages.
This option is no longer available. Delete messages in Trash is still available but this is not what I want to do.
In the Tool bar under Messages, this option can be seen but can not be used as this menu option is not in a darker font colour.
Is there a solution to this? I'd like to regain the function that was previously available.

Check your Preference settings under Junk. If you're set to perform Custom Actions, then this will happen. I recently made that change and encountered the same. Now if only Apple will fix whatever they've screwed up so that my junk filtering will become useful again...

Junk folder shows 1 message but unable to view or delete it.

I'm using Apple Mail, OS 10.4.3. My Junk Mail folder shows one message, but when I click on the folder, it reports zero messages and nothing is visable. When I erase the messages in my Junk Mail folder, the folder still indicates one message.
I tried resetting my preferences, but the problem persists.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thank you.

Hello Michael.
If for a POP type account, using the Finder go to Home > Library > Mail > this account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account).
Within a POP type account named folder should be mailbox folders with an .mbox extension.
Confirm there is a Junk.mbox named folder and not a Junk named folder.
If shown as a Junk named folder, quit Mail first and change the name of the Junk folder to Junk.mbox or add the .mbox extension.
Launch Mail and this should resolve the problem.

Mail Going to Junk Folder that is Not Junk

I have mail that is going to my junk folder that is not junk. When I look at the "thumb" symbol for the mail, the thumb is down, meaning that it doesn't think it is junk either. Even when I turn my "Enable Junk Mail Filtering" off in Preferences, the mail still goes to junk. No idea how to fix this. It seems like a glitch!

Thank you Nubz N. and BobHarris for your feedback on the issue. I had actually already tried resetting my junk settings in Apple Mail and had no success, and trust me BobHarris, I was not using the Junk key as the delete key.
It turned out that I had to go directly to the email source's website, which in this case was Gmail, and change my junk settings there. Apple Mail was perceiving the incoming mail as "Not Junk", but because Gmail was viewing it as junk, it was still going to my Apple Mail junk folder. I'm not sure why Gmail was viewing it as junk, as I had never clicked junk before. Anyway, after changing the junk settings there at Gmail, the filter has now been working properly again.

Junk not going to Junk folder

Ok. I keep getting all messages marked as junk that actually are not being sent to the Junk folder. They just sit in whichever mailbox they came to. I have the junk settings enabled and set to send it to the junk mailbox (automatic). But for whatever reason, nothing ever goes to the junk mailbox. Any ideas on what I can do?
Thanks

There is probably some corruption in one or more of the files used by the junk filter. The following procedure thoroughly gets rid of all those files, so that Mail creates them anew:
1. Quit Mail if it's running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/.
3. Locate LSMMap2 and move it to the Trash. This file stores information about what does and doesn't constitute junk, and is what allows the junk filter to learn. Clicking the Reset button in Preferences > Junk Mail also deletes LSMMap2. The file was called just LSMMap in early versions of Mail, delete that as well if you see it.
4. Locate DefaultCounts and move it to the Trash. This file keeps statistics about the number of messages that have been marked as junk, either automatically by the junk filter or manually by the user.
5. Locate MessageRules.plist and/or MessageSorting.plist and move it to the Desktop. This is where Mail stores all the rules, including those used by the junk filter. The former is used by Mail 2.x, the latter by Mail 1.x. There is probably also a MessageRules.plist.backup and/or MessageSorting.plist.backup file there; move it to the Desktop too.
6. Look for the account folders. The name of each account folder starts with the account type (POP, IMAP, Mac), followed by the account username and the incoming mail server. Open each of the account folders, locate the Junk.mbox or Junk.imapmbox folder within it, and move it to the Trash if present.
7. Go to ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/. Locate any Junk.mbox mailboxes there (their name may include the account name in parenthesis), and move them to the Trash.
Note: Messages in Junk mailboxes with an .mbox suffix are stored locally and will be lost forever as a result of doing steps 6 and 7. If there is a chance that you have legit messages there that you want to preserve, either move the messages to another mailbox in Mail first, or move the Junk.mbox to the Desktop (to be imported back later) instead of to the Trash. Junk mailboxes with an .imapmbox suffix aren't a concern because they are stored on the server and Mail will rebuild them automatically.
8. Open Mail. As a result of removing the rules file, the junk filter will be disabled now. You may want to either tell Mail to go offline immediately after opening it, or shut down the Internet connection before opening Mail, to prevent it from downloading anything until the junk mail filter has been enabled again.
9. Go to Mail > Preferences > Junk Mail, enable junk filtering, and configure it however you wish.
10. Go online again if you went offline in step 8.
If the above solves the problem and you don't have any rules you'd like to preserve or recreating them is not a daunting task, just trash the rules files that were moved to the Desktop and be done with it.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the file path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the file path there.

All mail is being downloaded to Junk Folder

Since I upgraded to Snow Leopard, every time I do "Get Mail", all the newly downloaded mail goes into the Junk Mail folder, but none of it is marked junk! I am using the same Junk preferences I used in Leopard. If I uncheck "enable junk mail filtering", the Junk Folder disappears and so does my mail. But when I re-enable junk mail filtering, the mail reappears. I have tried rebuilding both the inbox and the junk folder, no joy. At this point, I have to move all downloaded mail from the junk folder to the inbox, then mark all junk mail as junk. What might be the solution to this problem? Should I delete the Mail preferences file?

Problem solved. Ken Gani on the Tidbits said it sounded like a mail rules problem. When I deleted the Mail-tags rules, which were left over from a demo version which I had installed many months ago on Leopard (Mail 3.6) the problem went away.

Emails going into "Junk" folder

The default junk folder is called "Junk Email" however this one user has "Junk" folder above that in which only emails that he receives from linkedin.com go in there. My first thought was that he has a rule sorting linkedin.com emails
into that folder but after checking local and server side rules there are none with that criteria that exist.
Next since that's not a default folder, I said let's permanently delete the "Junk" folder and see what happens. Sure enough the next email he received from linkedin.com created a new "Junk" folder and sorted that email in there.
How can this be happening?
The user wants to keep the filtering on the low setting and we have already whitelisted linkedin.com.
I want to know how come there are two junk folders, one called "Junk" and the default "Junk Email" folder. Typically there is only the second one
How this mail is being routed in there because there are no rules that specify any mail to go into that folder.
Maybe there is a hidden rule I am not seeing. Possibly going to try OUTLOOK.EXE /cleanrules /cleanserverrules after hours and then re-create his existing rules.

I think it's the galaxy - seems to be an issue with samsung:

Is there any way to use the Yahoo! Bulk folder as the Mail "Junk" folder?

I've been helping a few people with Yahoo! accounts and they'd like to use the Yahoo! "Bulk Mail" folder as their "Junk" folder so they don't have to select the messages in their Bulk folder in order to delete them with Apple Mail.
Unfortunately, I haven't found a way; you can tell Mail to use the Yahoo! Bulk Mail folder for Junk all day, but it never "takes."

I have several Yahoo! accounts, as well, and have a similar issue. No solution for me.
