Do I need to keep junk mail in my junk mailbox for it to remember

Do I need to leave mail I mark as junk and have moved into my junk folder in order for the mail app to "learn" that I consider the marked mail as junk?  That is to say, if I delete the mail in my junk folder, will it "forget" that I consider those types of messages as junk, and thereafter start accepting them again?

No. It shouldn't forget.

  • How Do I Get My Junk Mail Icon Back Under MAILBOXES ?

    How Do I Get My Junk Mail Icon Back Under MAILBOXES ?
    It seems to have disappeared and I have know idea what I did.

    In each account, is Junk filtering enabled -- Mail Preferences/Junk Mail? Also, have you selected (account by account) to move any Junk message to the Junk Mailbox?

  • Why doesn't mail put my junk mail in my junk mailbox

    Since I started using 10.9.2, the Mail program has misbehaved much less and I have been able to return to using it from Gmail. However, it puts all my junk mail (which it SAYS is junk mail) in my Inbox instead of the junk mailbox - even though I have instructed it in Preferences to move it to the Junk mailbox. Why? What can I do to correct this?

    Can't anyone come up with an answer to this question? I'd be very grateful for any ideas.

  • Mail does not move Junk mail to the Junk mailbox.

    I use  OS X 10.9.3, Mail Version 7.3 (1878.2) and have created the rule that if Message is Junk, Move it to the Junk mailbox, but it does not work. Junk messages remain in the Inbox, even after I select messages and Apply rules. I have tried marking and unmarking as Junk, and then they disappear, but this is obviously not a sustainable longterm solution. Any other suggestions?

    Hi Jeff, are you saying the Inbox with Junk is inside the Junk Folder, or is this a different account?
    First Quit Mail, look in the finder for those IMAP folders inside your...
    Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/IMAPaccount folder, move them where they should be in the Finder.
    Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup),  it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
    Move this Folder to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
    Move this file to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
    Reboot.
    If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup

  • Does it make sense to mark an email messages that are in junk mail folder as junk

    Hello,
    I see that some of email messages that are in my junk mail folder are in different color and marked as junk. However, some emails in the folder are not marked as junk. Most of these unmarked emails are put there because of my rules. The question is: does it make sense to mark these messages (in junk email folder) as spam/junk manualy? Will email spam detection engine learn somethig from it?

    If the messages are really junk, then mark them as junk.  That will help Mail detect similar messages as junk, even if your rules miss them.
    If the messages are not junk, but you have set rules to junk them for some other reason, don't mark them as junk.  If you do mark them, you may start missing other messages.

  • Loosing Junk Mail on the Junk Mail Screen

    Starting a couple of weeks ago my Junk Mailbox has been accumulating items as it normally does, but when I then click on Junk Mail the screen shows no items at all.
    Yet each day the number of items accumulating in my Junk Mailbox increases in number. Why can't I see the items that are in the Junk Mailbox?

    I have had the same problem, junk mail message are not showing in the list window even though it says there are over 3000. I have tried many different ways to delete them.
    The only "solution" I can find is to set the Junk mail to be put into trash (in Preferences -> Junk Mail -> Perform custom actions -> Advanced), but there are 3000 old junk mails still sitting there in the Junk folder. Is there some way to delete the Junk folder and start again?

  • Apple Mail 5 use this mailbox for

    Alright, so, I have been playing with the updated Mail application in Lion. I love the new interface but I seem to be missing an important part or just unable to find it. When setting up an account to connect to Gmail's IMAP I seem to be unable to get the common folders, Sent/Draft/Trash/Spam, working in unison with Gmail's Sent/Draft/Trash/Spam labels. In the previous versions of Mail I've been able to right-click each of those folders and click "Use this mailbox for..." to which I would select the proper folder. This option seems to be missing in Apple Mail 5 or, the very least, I'm unable to find it or an equal option.
    When creating an account to use with Gmail I have played with the preference checkboxes for those common folders. Leaving them checked I will get a new label created in Gmail instead of the email going into the real folder. For instance, if I delete an email it will go into my trash on the mac and it will then have the label "Deleted Messages" but not actually be in the trash in Gmail. The same goes for Sent Mail as well. If I uncheck these options then I get duplicate email in the Mail Sent folder as well as Gmail's Sent label. On top of this, if I click the sent button I in the new Mail interface I ONLY see mail I have sent from Apple Mail and not items that are in my sent mail label for Gmail. Which is annoying.
    So, in short, is it possible, and if so then how, do I get Gmail and Apple Mail's Sent/Draft/Trash/Spam folders perfectly synced so that it will work like how it used to in Snow Leopard or even how it currently works on the iPhone? If I can not get this functionality then I guess I will have to say goodbye to Apple Mail which is a shame because I really love the new interface.
    If this has been asked and answered/resolved can I please get a link to the discussion? I've searched but seem to be unable to find any possible answers.

    It is an exchange account. In Mail>Preferences>Accounts I do not see the IMAP Path Prefix, which isn't surprising (when it is no IMAP-account).
    Coming to your question, Ernie: I created this account longer ago, maybe 2 years? I created this subfolder from a Windows computer and recently made the swith for my business computer to a MBA. Great computer! Strange thing is, the mails in the subfolder are shown correctly in my iPad Mail app... Also: I created such a subfolder in my Inbox and this mail is shown correctly... Strange... For this mailbox (and for all others) the options in the dropdown menu 'use this mailbox for' etc are all greyed out...     

  • Need to keep relaunching Mail to work with Network Solutions IMAP

    The problem: Mail on my MacBook Pro will successfully download e-mail from my Network Solutions IMAP account once, but then if I want to check for mail in that account again, I have to quit Mail and relaunch it. The problem is only with the Network Solutions account. I have three other e-mail accounts, and Mail has no problem getting messages from those other accounts, even while it's failing to get the Network Solutions messages.
    Background: I recently upgraded my Network Solutions account from POP to IMAP. That's when this problem started. I don't think I can blame it on Network Solutions, though, because the account works fine on my Mac mini, my iPhone, and my iPad.
    The MacBook Pro and the Mac mini are running the same OS (10.8.2) and the same version of Mail (6.2). The settings for the Network Solutions account are, as best as I can tell, exactly the same on both computers.
    Here's an example of what happens: I'll have Mail open on my MacBook Pro, and it will receive a new message. Then, I'll go to the Mac mini and open, read, and delete that new message. When I return to the MacBook Pro, that message is still in the in box and still marked as unread. I can leave it like that all day and that message will stay in the in box, unread, and Mail will not receive any more new messages from that Network Solutions account. Meanwhile, all of my other accounts work fine. (I can also open and read that message if I want. But it remains undeleted, even though I deleted it on the Mac mini.) If I quit Mail and relaunch it, that message will disappear, and Mail is again able to receive new messages from the Network Solutions account.
    Any ideas about what might be causing this? Thanks.

    Problem solved. For some reason the POP client had 'SSL' turned on. Guess I set it by accident during one of my many tries. All is well now.

  • Need to Keep Track of Remote Dynamic IP Address for VNC Suggestions?

    So I need a method to keep track of my airport extremes IP address since I have a desktop not in reach I need to access daily and I'm worried that it might change of course, I know windows has IP Mailer that will send out new IP Addresses but I don't know of anything for mac. I can't get to the computer so I need a solution that doesn't require restarting the router : /. If anyone has a suggestion I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks.

  • Urgent help needed with un-removable junk mail that froze Mail!!

    Urgent help needed with un-removable junk mail that froze Mail?
    I had 7 junk mails come in this morning, 5 went straight to junk and 2 more I junked.
    When I clicked on the Junk folder to empty it, it froze Mail and I can't click on anything, I had to force quit Mail and re-open it. When it re-opens the Junk folder is selected and it is froze, I can't do anything.
    I repaired permissions, it did nothing.
    I re-booted my computer, on opening Mail the In folder was selected, when I selected Junk, again, it locks up Mail and I can't select them to delete them?
    Anyone know how I can delete these Junk mails from my Junk folder without having to open Mail to do it as it would appear this will be the only solution to the problem.

    Hi Nigel
    If you hold the Shift key when opening the mail app, it will start up without any folders selected & no emails showing. Hopefully this will enable you to start Mail ok.
    Then from the Mail menus - choose Mailbox-Erase Junk Mail . The problem mail should now be in the trash. If there's nothing you want to retain from the Trash, you should now choose Mailbox- Erase Deleted Messages....
    If you need to double-check the Trash for anything you might want to retain, then view the Trash folder first, before using Erase Junk Mail & move anything you wish to keep to another folder.
    The shift key starts Mail in a sort of Safe mode.

  • Junk mail handling seems broken in Mail

    I had a rather frustrating experience with Mail this morning, and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this. The closest thing I've seen thus far is another topic in this forum about messages being read but being marked as unread when you later go and view the contents of an INBOX. (Incidentally, I've experienced this behavior as well, though seldom.)
    I went through my Mac.com account's inbox and noticed a bunch of messages which I could have sworn I had marked as Junk already. I'd say there were 4 or 5 junk messages. After I marked them as junk, they appeared to be moved to the Junk mail folder. At least, they apparently disappeared from that inbox.
    I then checked my junk mail folders, and noticed a message (not one of the 4 or 5 that I had just identified as junk) that shouldn't have been marked as junk, so I marked it as Not Junk, and then manually dragged it back to my Mac.com inbox. Now, I know that occasionally the junk mail filter gives false positives for mail messages that it shouldn't, and I'm not complaining about that. What I'm complaining about is coming up next.
    See, apparently, the Mail application lied to me when it indicated (visually) that the messages had been moved. After I had convinced myself that I saw only the mail messages in the Junk folder that should be there, I went and did an Erase Junk Mail operation -- which is not reversible.
    Imagine my shock when I discovered the following:
    * The 4 or 5 messages that I marked as junk were back in the inbox. They were still marked as junk, which I confirmed by selecting each of those messages individually; the little "You marked this message as Junk" indicator bar appeared at the top of the view pane. But the junk messages apparently didn't actually get moved into the junk mail folder.
    * The 1 message which I marked as Not Junk and manually removed from the junk mail folder apparently is gone. It would seem that this message was not actually moved back to the inbox as the application visually indicated.
    The first bullet point above is easy enough to take care of: Highlight the messages and do an Apply Rules (or manually move them). The second bullet point, I can't fix, because that message apparently is now gone. I wouldn't be quite so upset about it, except that the message in question was a confirmation message from Pay1040.com and would have been useful to keep around, especially if I needed to provide proof-of-payment to the IRS.
    After this incident, I repaired permissions on my drive and restarted the Mail application; I haven't seen any misbehavior since, but I'm now very nervous about cleaning out my junk folders.

    LionMage,
    Actually, you hit-the-nail-on-the-head when you said - '...but my guess is, some kind of synchronization between the Mac.com IMAP server and my Mail application needed to occur.' Mail gives you the option of how often it checks for new messages. And, since the original message stays on the Apple server, if there are any permission problems or lag in the system, its quit possible that you will receive a message twice because you receive new messages first, then sync your mail boxes last. You can see this in the status messages at the top of the Mail main window when you press 'Get Mail'.
    Hence, they showed up again unexpectantly. And you were right, there may have been a simple problem with your system that you fixed by repairing the permissions and restarting your Mac.
    Its only happened to me once or twice before, but I now let mail delete the Junk mail every 7 days no matter how full it gets (unless of course you get a lot of mail!). That way I've checked the Junk 3 to 4 times before it trashes them and I know that the server is sync'd properly at Apple before they disappear forever.

  • OS X 10.5.6 Junk Mail Folder won't let me see inside

    I posted this question already this morning but the post is now missing.... I need help. I deleted a tabbed folder attached to the junk mail folder without realizing that that folder was the junk mail folder for my account. Now, I can see that there is Junk mail (it says 25) but when I hit the Junk Mail folder icon, it shows that folder is missing.... I need to get the 2 re-connected so that I can see the contents of this folder.
    If I go to the Finder and open the Junk Mail folder in my user/lib/mail account, I can view the junk mail if I drag them over the Mail application icon.
    How can I get the Junk mail folder "reintialized" ?
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Lori
    I can't get any lower than my documents folder. I have multiple folders inside my documents folderFirstly, I take it you have clicked the disclosure triangle to the right of the "Save As" box? This should then show you a list of folders. Double click on one, and you'll see it's content, including other folders that you can double click, to as low a level as you like.
    Is there something I need to set in System Preferences?No, this should be standard behaviour.

  • Can't see mail in the Junk mail folder

    I have my mac set to automatically send junk mail to a junk mail box. All of a sudden I can no longer see the mails in the folder. It is showing the number of emails in there but when I click on the junk icon it shows zero. I can not do a rebuild because it is not highlighted when I click on Mailbox.

    Rosieb,
    Don't worry about not being knowledgeable about what's going on here. Answering the questions you're being asked and providing all relevant information is critical to properly troubleshoot the problem, though, and you don't need to be knowledgeable on computer issues to do that, just follow the instructions, answer all questions, and ask for any clarifications or if there is something you don't feel comfortable with.
    If you look at the Junk icon in the mailboxes drawer in Mail, you should see a black triangle to the left. Clicking on it should reveal the individual Junk mailbox of each of the accounts. You can now select these one at a time, identify which is the one that has the problem, and rebuild it if necessary.
    It could very well be, however, that the problem is what Ernie is suggesting, i.e. the .mbox suffix is missing from the Junk mailbox name in the Finder, and that's the reason you cannot do Mailbox > Rebuild on this particular mailbox, in which case you must follow Ernie's instructions to fix it.
