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.
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.

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.

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. -

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.

I have a Yahoo Account. When I set up the mail account the Bulk Mail, Deleted Messages, Draft, Drafts, Junk, Sent, and Sent Messages appear on all of my iPhones, my PC, my Macbook and any other wifi product that receives mail. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of these duplicate mailbox folders??
ThanksI just called apple care to even know how to respond to this answer. I am very old and this was my first post ever. I appreciate you taking the time to give me an answer. I also ask them how to delete this account because every time I log in it wants me to change my password and I have run out of passwords. I don't even know what it means when it ask me the community I want to be in.
The only thing I know about syncing is syncing my iPhone to my MacBook Pro. I apologize that I am so technically stupid. Does mail have syncing???
Thank you even if I never figure out how to get back to this site again. -
I have been getting the following message and have no idea how to clear it. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!! I have force closed Mail, and have tried to re-sync my accounts but no luck.

Hi i'm trying to delete my bulk mail messages but it keep telling me this message"The IMAP command “DELETE” failed with server error: DELETE failed - Mailbox is reserved " is there any way to delete of stop messages from coming into it ??
thanksSounds like the mail server thinks you are asking to delete the bulk-mail mailbox instead of some/all of the messages within it.
How are you trying to delete your bulk mail messages? That is, what are you doing, step by step, up to the error message.
What you should probably be doing is selecting the bulk mail mailbox, selecting one of more messages inside it, then hitting the "delete" key. -
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)
pekkaI 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. -
Suddenly User is receiving bulk mails from Groupware
Hai Gurus,
Suddenly my User is receiving bulk mails from Groupware User and the message is showing that
Appointment deleted for you
Transaction is rejected in CRM online
I have found that the BDocs are rejected. Can anyone help me out in this?Hai Pratima,
Check in Groupware connector administrative tool if the email id is locked under 'Current Locks'.If it is locked then you may have to unlock this id .
Have you checked again if the same email id is locked? If yes, then first you must find out the root casue why its getting locked.
Anyway do let me know once you get a reply.
after doing this also the mails are reproducing, so we have raised message to SAP for resolution. Waiting for SAP response..... -
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 advanceYes, 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..
