Dotmac email in AOL spam folder

I noticed an interesting situation in the last few weeks. I am seeing some of my dotmac email showing up in my AOL spam folder. I suspect Mail is the cause.
I use Apple Mail to read email on a dotmac account with two email addresses and email on an AOL account. At work I use Mozilla Thunderbird on a PC to monitor both accounts. Because the email seems to be transfered from one server to the other, I reasoned that Thunderbird must be doing it. I quit using Thunderbird for the last week, and instead used the web interface to check mail for both accounts. The strange reshuffling of email continued. I began using Thunderbird again and quit using Mail. The behavior stopped. So now I suspect Mail is the culprit.
I plan to continue using Thunderbird, while not using Mail for the next week to see if it continues. Then I plan to go back to Mail to see if it recurs. I will keep this thread updated with my findings.
I have used Thunderbird for the last year and have been using Mail for several years. I've not seen this before.
Any thoughts, comments, suggestions would be appreciated.

Yes, I have several rules to sort incoming mail into different mailboxes. Even if the rules are the root of this problem, it seems very strange to me that Mail shows email incoming to the dotmac servers ending up on the spam folder on the AOL server. I realize that the email might not actually be on the AOL server, but that is how Mail is showing it.
I have temporarily gotten around the problem by disabling the AOL account while I check the two dotmac accounts, then reversing it to check the AOL account. This has solved the problem.
I think I'll try to disable the Rules for a time to see if it also solves the problem.
Incidentally, I've had trouble with a Smart Mailbox. I have one setup to show me incoming mail from several accounts, with other accounts not showing up. Twice I've had the Mailbox show me email from all accounts. Deleting the Mailbox and recreating it temporarily fixes the problem.
Another detail I forgot to mention, I use SpamSieve 2.6.2.

I just upgraded to OS X 10.6.7 and mail is putting most of my emails in the Spam folder. I move them to the appropriate folder, but is there anything else I can do to "train it"?

You can see that most of my question is the title. I just upgraded to OS X 10.6.7 & have a minor problem. Mail keeps putting most of my emails into the Spam Folder. I then move them to the appropriate folders (I have several email accounts) Will this eventually train the program to know what is spam & what is not or am I stuck with constantly doing this?

Returning to Mail Preferences - Junk Mail, in the section
When junk mail arrives:
select mark as junk mail but leave it in my inbox
This should then give you the opportunity to mark it as Not Junk
and after several days it may improve.
I say 'may improve', based on my experience of when I upgraded to 10.5 a few years ago. It took a while to learn what I kept insisting was not junk. It is a slow learner but it got there.
P.S. When you are satisfied it is identifying junk reasonably accurately, you can change the Preferences setting back to 'Move it to the Junk mail box'

Emails going to spam folder from Office Outlook

I have configured an Exchange for my domain for learning purpose. When i am sending emails to my Google Account account using OWA or iPhone(Exchange account) the mails are coming in Inbox, but when i am sending emails through Office Outlook the emails are coming
in SPAM folder of my Google Account. Kindly suggest me the solution for this problem, thanks in advance.

Hi
I set it up today itself, so no chance of bad reputation(below result). This is happening when only i am sending email to my Google from Office Outlook. When i use OWA & iPhone(Exchange Active Syn) its coming in Inbox.
This is same with Hotmail but not with Yahoo mail.
I tried it with my another primary domain i can receive in Inbox.
MXToolbox : blacklist
Checking mydomain.com which
resolves to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx against 103 known
blacklists...
Listed 0 times

Kindly suggest if any configuration requirements are to be done.
Thanks and regards

Where are my emails - in the Spam folder!!!!!

I use Gmail and use it to fetch emails from the forums to which i subscrible having given them my Bt internet emai address.
All was going well and I must admit to being lazy in checking my BT/Yahoo mail page. However, I have been doing this recently and have found that now, a lot of email that Gmail should have fetched had been festering away in their Spam folder. I ticked all these and marked them as 'Not Spam'.
Most annoying and there doesn't seem to be a setting in 'Tools' or options where I can alter things.

You could try setting up a mail filter so that any mail that is addressed to you is directed to a separate folder as it arrives.
I think you can even specify the Inbox as the folder.
If you right click on a mesage, an option appears which says "filter messages like these"
You can then specify what you want to do wil the message.
You can edit your filters by going to the mail options menu.

Where did this Spam folder come from and how to I "un-spam" emails?

Hello
I have my email account setup on my iPhone via POP. There is no spam folder on my email server.
Yesterday I noticed hundreds of emails in a spam folder in the folder list on my iPhone. When I log into my webmail this folder is no there, therefore I am thinking the iPhone has created it.
Firstly, how do I stop it from doing this?
Secondly, emails in there are from people who have successfully emailed me in the past without getting filtered into spam so how do I un-spam emails?
Is this spam a new iOS4 feature?
Ultimately I can resetup my email as IMAP but that will delete all the emails in this folder and I don't want to do that (so I suppose I'm going to have to manually move them all right?)
Many thanks for your help
Ken

If you are using Gmail, it is the All Mail label that has always existed, but Snow Leopard didn't show it.
You can disable it in Gmail's settings under Labels. Set it to not show in IMAP.
Some people experience problems when doing that, though. I did not.
I set up my Gmail as shown in this blog post: http://jeffschuette.com/2012/03/07/setting-up-apple-mail-to-rock-and-roll-with-g mail/
I didn't want Gmail storing emails that I had deleted, so I used his setup to stop it, and I also hid the All Mail folder from Mail.

My Yahoo email sent from my iphone to myself shows up in spam folder

i wanted to send myself an email from my iphone, waited for an hour, but got nothing. after logging into my Yahoo Email account on my pc i found all my emails in my spam folder from myself.
Why am i spam? Will i be spam to anyone i reply or send mail to? This only happens from iphone, is there a way around this?

hello,
Just an FYI update on my post re: after update to version 2.0.2
my computer no longer sees my iPhone as if it were an external
HD as it had before update using version 1.1.4. Shortly after posting
this problem, I logged into my usual user acct, not the user name specified
with iTunes user acct, and although I had chosen the option of making
iTunes the default music player for iPhone acct, I hadn't indicated
the iTunes default with my usual surfing user acct. Anyway, just after
I posted and logged out of that acct and logged into my usual one
a dialog box opened unsolicited and asked if I wanted to make iTunes
the default for usual acct name. I said no thanks, and now on that user
acct I am able to copy photos from iPhone without sync process as if
the iPhone was an external HD as I could before. Now before I sync
Photos back into the iPhone using the iTunes user acct, i select
the photos I want and put them into the specific folders I have set
up inside the iPhone photos folder and tah da, the folders will have
The pics I want back on the iPhone in addition to the Camera Roll
folder. Still wish I could figure out why the orientation of pics sometimes
requires editing for correction. Knowing how to use a screen shot to
repair orientation has helped alot though. To be continued.

Search problems : Boolean expressions and spam folder

I get about 1000 spam per day that I have to check.
Some of them contains certain keyword that the real emails would never have.
I would like to setup a smart folder or similar that found all emails in the spam folder that contains any of those keywords. I read some blogs etc. that said that spotlight boolean expressions could be used but they do not seem to work.
e.g. "pill OR berry" yields no results at all but when each of the keywords are used on their own they produce 80 or so results each.
Another problem I have is that I can do a manual search in the spam folder by typing in the search field and it yields results. But if I save that as a smart folder it yields no results at all. It seems that the rules do not work on the spam folder.
I then tried to do all this from spotlight in the finder. I found the folder where the spam mailbox emails are stored (called "messages"). I managed to construct a nice search query and save it as a search. But if I delete one of the emails from the finder it still remains in Mail and the next time I start Mail it will be regenerated from somewhere.
Anyone have any insights to provide here?

I had actually missed that preference. Unfortunately it did not help.
Even if I make a new smart mailbox with just one rule (the email must be in the spam folder) it doesnt work. It doesn't matter if I change between any/all either.
I started experimenting with adding a rule saying that the email must not be in any of the other mailboxes but spam. That seemed to work for a bit but as I added more rules, excluding more mailboxes, it eventually broke. I will investigate it a bit more but currently don't have high hopes...

Thunderbird prefixes mail from BT yahoo email address with [SPAM]

When I open Thunderbird to read mail from BT yahoo, the mail is prefixed with [SPAM]. This has happened in the last few days, BT maintain it is nothing to do with them and to my knowledge nothing has changed in the last months. The messages are not shown as spam in BT yahoo mail.
Whislt talking to BT they sent me a mail which (as Thunderbird was opened) was received without the [SPAM] prefix and this morning an Amazon email was received whilst Thunderbird was open, again without the [SPAM] prefix.
It does not do this with mail from an Orange/EE email address.
Can I prevent this, please? (It is just annoying rather than critical and to me unfathomable)!
This began on 19/10/14 after I had not used my computer for 5 days and I opened all 3 email addresses at once through Thunderbird (as pr normal) to receive 60 emails all prefixed [SPAM] - previously all was well - and BT had still filtered out the mails that I regarded as spam.

Thunderbird does not use the word 'Spam', it uses the word 'Junk'.
So if you are seeing 'Spam' then this is either being applied by the server or you have a program installed on your computer which is doing it. But it is not Thunderbird.
I also use BT and it puts some emails in the Spam folder on webmail account.
But if I get emails in Thunderbird with a 'Spam' entered at the start of the subject line then it has been put there by my anti-virus/firewall program.
For example, I use Norton Anti-virus/firewall product and Norton will add 'Norton AntiSpam' to emails it thinks is spam. There is the facility to place exclusions in Norton.
Other products such as 'spampal' or 'spamassassin' will also add the word Spam.
So I would suspect that you have a program running that is doing this.

Email keeps going to spam folder

I am having problem with email.. I will receive messages that mail puts in the spam folder that is not spam. I drag it into my inbox and reply to it, but the reply from the sender continues to go into spam.. How can I stop this?

Are you talking about the junk mail folder in iMail, spam filtering by your mail server or a third party spam filter you installed locally.
If it's the last you need to read the instructions on how to train the filter, if its on the mail server you need to contact you;re ISP (or whoever is serving your mail) for instructions on how to train it.
Finally if you're referring to the junk mail folder then you can set its parameters in Mail->Preferences->Junk Mail

HT3228 Please let me know how to avoid receiving the spam into my email accounts on the iPad. It is very annoying! My server puts it in the spam folder...why do I get it on the iPad? Is it avoidable and how?

Please let me know how to avoid receiving the spam (from the spam folder on the server) into my email accounts on the iPad. It is very annoying!
My server puts it in a spam folder and I do not receive it in the Ms Outlook on my desk computer...why do I get it on the iPad? Is it avoidable and how?b

You actually cannot do anything to your ipad when its locked but look at pictures the time and date, you need to restore it, and if it dosent let you restore, good luck chuck Heres how to restore it: Okay, i only know the itunes way soz, lol. Try to connect your ipad to itunes, if it does let you then you should be able to select the device you have in the corner somewhere, once you do that you should see a screen that looks sort of like your ipads setting, you should have a button that says "Restore" click that and your ipad should be restored. If that dosent work you should try going to your regular office depot or something. Good Luck!

Is there a way to prevent Gift Voucher Email from going to Spam folder?

Everytime I send an email to someone with a Gift Voucher or Discount Code from the system generated emails, they always end up in the Spam folder on GMail, Yahoo, etc.
Is there a way to prevent emails from being labeled as Spam with this system?

Hi Mario,
We have this problem too.
We have a vaid From email address and ours is hoted with you and your info link above says "If you are choosing to host your domain with us there is no need to do anything here. Based on our system architecture we are generating that SPF record so that all the emails sent from this domain will have include all the IPs from where emails are being sent and make sure that you will pass the SPF check."
Yet our gift vouchers and also our newsletters are ALL going to spam. It's happening to both our business catalyst sites - so is Business Catalyst being marked as a spammer and affecting us?

I get many spam emails everyday. They go to my spam folder then I have to manually delete them. Is there a way to have them deleted? I don't care to view them. Thanks.

Whomever your mail provider is, they may have a setting for you to use, to delete automatically anything in the spam folder.
I'd use safari or your computer to access the web interface of your mail account and see what settings you have available to you

Where is the spam folder-I can't receive certain emails

I haven't 2 received emails that might be in the spam folder but I can't find a spam button.
Can you help, please?
Barry

Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
Or is problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird?

How to send emails to spam folder?

Why are my husband's emails being sent to my spam folder?

Just recently, every time my husband sends me an email from his Yahoo email account using a Chrome browser it winds up in my spam folder in my Yahoo email account that uses a Firefox browser. We have used the same email accounts for years and same browsers for years but the problem just started yesterday 1/16/12. Thanks, Carol Possehl

This is probably becuase in the forum grouping, there is the option to receive emails which you may have accidentally selected. Normally one only wants to receive emails about the topic in question, not the entire forum, which is irrelevant. So check the forum page and on the RHS in Actions where it mentions email notifiications, change that.
