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

    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.

  • Deleting bulk mail

    I would like to know how to delete bulk mail without opening at least one of them because of spam. 
    Before Mavericks, I was double clicking on the horizontal divider bar in mail, it would go to the bottom, and then I would "select all" and delete.    I can still do it that way but have to manually drag the bar downward.
    I was just wondering if there is another way to do this.
    Thanks.

    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.

  • 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!

  • I have mistakenly deleted a mail folder which I had created. Can't remember if it was located to 'iCloud' or 'On My Mac'. How can I retrieve the emails contained in this deleted folder? Your help will be immensely appreciated!

    Yeah not a problem. It does seem though that if you did not have a Time Machine backup then you may not be able to recover the deleted folder :/ But for future reference to prevent any of this, a Time Machine backup is a great investment.
    What it does is create an entire backup of your computer anything from personal information down to the screen saver.
    What you first need is a new external hard drive (I would recommend a 1TB or higher just to prevent running out of space soon).
    after that, just plug in the drive to your computer.
    once it is plugged in, in the top right hand corner, close to the wi-fi symbol, you should see a symbol that looks like a clock with a backwards arrow around it.
    click on that and select "open time machine preferences"
    just turn the button to the "on" position, and select the backup drive and Time Machine does the rest
    very great tool

  • Something wrong with my email it keep eat up my hard drive.  how can i get into the system and delete the mail folder

    how can I delete the mail folder in the hard drive.. it keep redownload the emails and eat up my hard drive

    If you have your mail set up as an IMAP account, then it will download everything that is in your Inbox (on the online site/server) again and again. You can move your emails to another folder online after you've read them or you can also delete them online after you've saved the ones you want to keep.
    If you have your mail set up as a POP account, emails are downloaded once and then reside on your hard drive; you can indicate in Mail Preferences > Accounts if you want the messages online deleted immediately or after one week, etc.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How to delete Bulk Email Folder in ios8

    With the IOS8 upgrade I'm seeing a Bulk email folder, which downloads ALL of my spam from my AT&T server if I mistakenly tap it. Thenit takes me an hour or so to manually remove each of the emails one by one. What a PAIN!  Then I'm seeing an extra Trash and Sent Folder and a Y! Conversations folder. None of which I want or need.  How to remove them!  What a pain!  Help!

    You cannot remove them.  Those folders are provided by the E-mail provider and cannot be removed.

  • 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.
