Earthlink pop mail and automatic junk filter

hi everyone,
a little help here... i know there a ton of posts about this already, but none really address a pop mail account and a junk filter. i have my mac to automatically filter junk to a separate filter, but this doesn't translate to the iphone.
the auto filter works terrificly on the computer... any way to set it up on the iphone?

i know i can enable their spam filtering, but if using the mail app and earthlink's filtering, you can only check the mail caught in their through the web. that's why i like the mail app's junk filtering better. everything is all under one roof. they shouldn't have forgotten the auto junk filtering, if they were putting a mail app on the iphone.

  • Apple mail and automatically downloads attachments

    Ho to all
    A friend of mine started to work with Apple Mail but he has found an option he wishes to remove: the "automatic downloads attachments size".
    He wants that ALL email's attachment are downloaded without click on it ( if they are big...)
    Any suggestion?
    best regards
    Rob
    I want XServe back in production.... :-((

    Rob,
    Is your friend using a POP mail account?
    In Mail>Prefreences>Accounts>Advanced he should uncheck "Prompt me to skip messages..."

  • I don't want outlook to pop up and automatically send outgoing messages. I wan't my webmail to do that. thanks

    When i go on a website that requires response to their email, my outlook pops up with the info. it's not sending so I'd like for my att webmail to pop up instead. Linda

    Thank you for your reply, Mike Johnson12!
    Holding down option + apple made iTunes not to know where the files it should sync the iPod with, causing it to give up syncing. Then on the iPod Summary pane, I could uncheck
    the "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected" box.
    After that, iTunes no longer starts up when I plugin
    this iPod.
    I still wonder what software component in the MacOS X
    is monitoring the USB port and choose a specific application
    to start up depending on the type of the USB device.
    But I consider this quition answered.

  • Dysfunctional junk filter in Tiger Mail

    I have three Macs (G5, G4, G3 iMac) all running the most recent, fully-patched version of OX X 10.4. All three machines are synchronized using .Mac sync, and I have the same account on all three machines.
    About a month ago, two of the machines' junk filters simultaneously stopped working entirely (IIRC, this was after I had to reset .mac syncing due to some inconsistency). In other words, Mail on both machines was failing to identify any mail as junk. I tried resetting the junk filters on both machines, put them in training mode, trained them over several hundred junk mail messages, to no avail. Neither machine was flagging any mail whatsoever as junk.
    Last night, as an experiment, I copied the file ~/library/com.apple.mail.plist from the machine (the G5) that was still filtering mail properly to the iMac (Mail wasn't running on either machine at the time I did the copy). Unfortunately, this fix seemed to have no effect, and worse, after the next sync, the one working machine no longer filtered mail properly! So now none of the three machines is filtering junk. But at least it seems clear that com.apple.mail.plist is in fact the file responsible for junk filtering, despite its small size (~16k). And all other filters (I use about 20 filters) seem to be working properly.
    And, to make matters even worse, I restored the aforementioned file from yesterday's backup (you have no idea how anal I am about backups; most days I get three complete backups of my home directory), but that didn't help either! It seems like whatever caused the problem in the first two machines has spread to the one remaining machine, and now I can't even restore things to the (sort of barely functional) state they were in yesterday, before I replaced the bad preference files with what I thought was a working version of the mail preferences file.
    Anyone have any ideas how to remedy this lamentable situation?

    Dan you were right. I had a spam message from one gmail accounts and it did not have the Junk brown bar but then I trained as spam and it then put the junk brown bar on the email. So it is seeing the spamsieve the same as server-side spam.
    All that's going on here is that when you train a message as spam, SpamSieve tells Mail that it's spam. SpamSieve has always done this so that (a) Mail hides the images for spam messages to protect you, and (b) Mail's own junk filter stays up-to-date in case you ever want to use it. The difference with Mavericks is that Apple Mail now shows more of its own junk filter user interface when it's turned off. You should ignore this if you're using SpamSieve.

  • Download POP Mail on Both iMac and a Macbook?

    Hello,
    I have my iMac and Macbook Pro configured to receive my POP mail and my IMAP mail. Is it possible to set the Preferences so that all messages are downloaded to both machines? At present, the first machine to receive the downloads holds the mail, but I work between both machines and would like to have access to all email.
    Thanks.
    lsb

    Hello V.K.
    I have a similar problem. I am using a gmail imap account. I am having trouble keeping them synced on 2 computers. Before tonight when I read a message on computer #2 it would show up as read on computer #1. However if I read the message on computer #1 it won't show up as read on computer #2. Then out of stupidity and attempting to fix it I synced my system preferences with mobile me with computer #1 settings and now it won't update either computer. This works the same with deleting emails. Any help would be great.

  • Problem with marking mail as Not Junk in IMAP account

    Hi,
    I have an IMAP email account on Go Daddy that I forward all my other mail accounts for processing. I use Apple Mail to process this IMAP account and use Mail.app's Junk filter to move Junk mail to the Junk mailbox. This Junk mailbox is mapped in Mail.app to my Go Daddy Bulk Mail IMAP folder, and the Trash and Inbox are also mapped to their respective folders of this IMAP account's Mail.app is set to "Enable junk mail filtering" and "Move it to the junk mailbox".
    When junk mail comes in, Mail.app correctly identifies the mail as junk and moves it to the Junk folder. However, if I find a message that Mail.app misidentified as junk and I attempt to mark it as Not Junk, the message gets a Not Junk status (not brown anymore), but the message stays in the Junk folder; Mail.app does not move it back into the Inbox.
    I would assume that since both the Inbox and Junk mail (Bulk Mail) folders are IMAP and on the same account, that upon marking the message as Not Junk, this mail should be moved back into the Inbox, just like under POP.
    Am I mistaken about the operation of Junk mail under IMAP? Should marking a message as Not Junk move it automatically to the Inbox? Do I have my folders and options set right? Should I possibly use a 3rd party Spam filter such as SpamSieve (where I can control its actions via Applescript)?
    Thanks for any info.
    Mike

    Ah Ernie, I think you found out my "problem".
    Before I upgraded to SN, I used SpamSieve to manage my POP SPAM. When I changed to SN, I did away with SpamSieve and POP, and used IMAP and Mail.app's Junk filtering. SpamSieve, since its "Mark As Junk" and "Mark As Not Junk" functionality uses Applescript, it must've moved the Not Junk message back to the inbox.
    Thanks for the pointer; I may change back to SpamSieve to get back that functionality.
    Mike

  • My junk filter has too many holes!

    My junk mail preferences are set to only accept mail from addresses in my address book. The junk filter catches about 100 pieces of junk per day, but I still get about 15 junk messages daily in my Inbox. Is this normal? How can I get it to work more effectively?

    You are receiving 100 pieces of junk mail per day with the same email account?
    If so, have you used this email address publicly for any reason such as when making an online purchase or for website access if required, etc.?
    In addition, do you automatically render all HTML received?
    The Junk Mail filter learns in the same way regardless if set to Training or Automatic. The only difference between Training and Automatic is when set to Automatic, all messages marked as Junk are moved to the account's Junk mailbox instead of remaining in the account's Inbox mailbox and the Junk filter continues to learn (or should) when set to Automatic if working properly.
    A problem is spammers are constantly changing/tweaking their methods to bypass spam filters at the incoming mail server for an account and with an email client such as the Mail.app so spam filters are in a constant catch-up mode.

  • Junk filter gone beserk

    There are many times when the junk filter has marked perfectly good mail as junk, and vice versa. Now something else is happening, something new that only started within the last month or so. Click on an incoming mail that is correctly tagged as junk and it suddenly loses its junk status. I then have to re-junk it. What gives?

    There appears to be more than one thing going on here, but let’s start with the following first, and see whether it makes a difference:
    1. Go to Preferences > Junk Mail and disable junk mail filtering.
    2. Quit Mail, then open it again.
    3. Go to Preferences > Junk Mail, enable junk mail filtering, and configure it however you wish.
    4. Reset the junk filter database (Preferences > Junk Mail > Reset).

  • Mail is automatically downloading from our Earthlink POP account even though the account is set to "manual."

    We have a new MacBook Pro with Mavericks. The mail is automatically downloading from our Earthlink POP account even though the account is set to "manual."
    Is there another way to stop Mail from automatically downloading? Is there another setting in Notifications or some other place I'm missing?
    (We'd rather check for spam and delete online where we can just check off boxes and hit delete than download and then have to look at each message to delete.)
    Many thanks!

    You can put an account into Offline mode by clicking on the account and selecting " Take "EarthLink" Offline"

  • Junk mail not automatically moved to Junk folder

    Hello.
    I'm using an IMAP account and have configured Mail to move junk mail to the chosen junk mail folder (junk is not filtered on the server but on my client). Since the junk mail filter is still learning sometimes junk mail is not detected and still goes to the inbox. That's okay.
    If I then select that message it is somehow miraculously detected and marked as junk. However, it is not automatically moved to the junk folder but remains in the inbox marked as junk?
    Is this desired behaviour? Why is the mail not automatically moved to the junk folder, like it is when I manually mark a mail as junk?
    Thanks in advance

    I just happened to notice that even mail that is automatically marked as spam/junk remains in my inbox. So I open the inbox folder and there is message that is marked as junk. Only when I manually reset and set the junk status is the message moved to the junk folder.
    This seems to be the case in an IMAP acount where all folders (sent, drafts, spam, etc.) are subfolders of the actual inbox folder.
    Is anyone else experiencing this behaviour?
    Thanks in advance

  • How do I block unsolicited e-mail(s) from unsolicited senders? Why isn't there an auto option that simply pops up and asks if you wish to block this sender from future e-mails? I am so tired of my e-mail address being sucked out of a friends address book,

    How do I block unsolicited e-mails from the sites that have stolen my e-mail address from a friends address book, and send me non-stop horrid e-mails. Why is there no pop-up to ask if "want sender blocked", to easily solve this problem? Seems like it would be such an easy solution to what must be a universal problem with these e-mail pirates.

    It is frontiernet.com that would need to block the emails.
    You can setup a Mail "Rule" to send email you do not want into the trash, or a spam folder, etc...
    In fact, there is a Mail -> Message ->  Mark -> as Junk Mail, which will train Mail to reconize junk mail and start to automatically move it to a junk mail folder.
    You can put this option on the Mail toolbar via Mail -> View -> Customize Toolbar, and drag the "Junk" icon to your Mail Toolbar.
    But of course Junk takes training.  You can create a Rule to trash the emails you do not want right away via Mail -> Message -> Add Rule, or Mail -> Preferneces -> Rules

  • (Junk-)Mail and setting up a new computer

    Hi all,
    Naturally, I do not very often replace my computer, but every time I need to set up a new computer I run into this issue with Mail.app which annoys me.
    I am a relatively heavy mail user (I have about 24.000 messages in my inbox on a gmail-account). I usually do not delete any mail, because I use my e-mail as my memory crutch for things past. However, if an e-mail is junk-mail, which I receive quite a bit, I delete it. To help me to sort the good from the bad, I use the Mail.app built-in junk mail control and generally, I am quite happy with it.
    But every time I need to set up a computer from scratch, the following happens:
    I set up Mail.app with my accounts.
    Then I set the Junk Mail preferences to: "Enable junk mail filtering", "When junk mail arrives: Move it to the Junk mailbox". I have my Mailbox Behaviors set to: "Store junk messages on server".
    Mail automatically moves tons of my legitimate old mail (this time more than 600 messages) to my gmail junk mail folder. That means I have to sift through the junk mail folder manually and pull out the legitimate mail while leaving the spam.
    This is a big problem for me, because potentially I could lose important older e-mails. I have my accounts set up as IMAP, thus the new machine will screw up my older machines, the iPhone and even the native gmail web-interface.
    My question: am I missing an "apply junk mail filter only to new incoming mail but leave my old mail alone"-button? Is there a work-around? Anyone else experiences this problem?
    All the best.

    Hi, Gustavo, and welcome to the Community,
    I know it will sound ridiculous, but if the new account was created using your e-mail address, change that account's password to take control of the account!  Remove any of your (or their) information - leave all profile settings as "blank" or "not specified."  I would recommend changing the passwords of your Skype account and your e-mail account as well, as proactive measures.
    Then, please report this incident to Skype Customer Service.  Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
    As you know you wish to contact Customer Service, skip past Step 2 of the instruction and proceed to Step 3, Continue Support Request.
    Best regards,
    Elaine

  • It stopped sending mail and moving messages between folders, junk messages stopped being moved.

    Recently, Thunderbird stopped sending mail and moving messages between folders, junk messages stopped being moved.

    Further notes (different user, same problem):
    * This is a problem that started in Thunderbird 32
    * This involves both automatic (filter) moves and manual moves
    * This includes use of keys and hotkeys (the delete key, for example)
    * Restarting Thunderbird does seem to "reset" the problem... for a while. I notice the problem most when either I've been away from the computer/program for a while or when waking a laptop computer from a sleep or hibernation state.

  • Mac Mail and POP Servers

    I recently switched from pc to mac. My old MS Outlook program deleted messages from my pop server when i checked for mail and downloaded them. Mac Mail does not appear to be doing this. Is there any way to set it up so that this happens automatically when i hit the 'get mail' button?

    Hello Peter.
    I think what Matt suggests only works for POP3 accounts
    True and the same with a POP type account with any email client.
    on my .mac account the only options seem to be whether to download
    it to the computer.
    A .Mac type account is really an IMAP type account and behaves in the same way. This is beneficial when accessing the account with an email client on a different computer being able to keep the account's Inbox mailbox and any other server stored mailboxes synchronized with the server with both email clients.
    With the Mail.app, you can create a .Mac account as a .Mac type (by default) or as an IMAP or POP type account.
    With other email clients you can create a .Mac account as an IMAP or POP type account.
    If you want to change the account type from .Mac to POP with the Mail.app, you must delete and re-create the account choosing POP as the account type.
    Doing so will delete all locally stored messages in the account's Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk mailboxes so before deleting and re-creating the account you must do the following.
    Create/utilize "On My Mac" location mailboxes creating one for the account's Sent mailbox and another if you have any Drafts you want to save. No need to create additional mailboxes for messages located in the account's Trash or Junk mailbox unless you want to save these messages.
    Transfer all messages from the account's Sent mailbox to the user created "On My Mac" location mailbox designated for the account's Sent messages.
    Delete and re-create the account selecting POP as the account type. Any received messages that remain on the server when deleting the account will not be lost and will be downloaded by the Mail.app. Select the settings for removing messages from the server under the Advanced tab for the account preferences.

  • Pop accounts and .Mac with Mail system

    Iv been trying to learn how to use my iBooks 'mail' system with both my Gmail and .Mac accounts. But, keep coming up with more questions than I can find answers to.
    1. Why doesn't mail that I receive or send from my 'mail' programme show up when I go to .Mac and open the mail there? Shouldn't the mail be in both?
    2. Same question for folders that I created in both .Mac and the 'mail' system.
    3. When using the 'mail' system with POP accounts does deleting mail automatically also delete the mail in the original POP account. In other words if I have the 'mail' system set to delete POP mail for a Gmail account does that also delete the copy over in Gmail?
    Just trying to figure out how the 'mail' system works in relation to if I use .Mac. Also, in relation to Gmail. I'm learning that when I'm in .Mac things aren't quite the same.
    Thank for the help in advance.

    You can access multiple accounts with the Mail.app and each account has its own webmail access that does not reflect all mailboxes available with an email client such as the Mail.app. It is impossible for webmail access with your .Mac account to reflect your Gmail, Yahoo or any other non-.Mac account mailboxes or any user created "On My Mac" location mailboxes which are stored locally on the hard drive.
    The same when accessing your Gmail or Yahoo account via webmail access using a browser. Doing so will reflect your Gmail or Yahoo account mailboxes only.
    When logged in to your .Mac account via webmail access using a browser, it will reflect your .Mac account's inbox mailbox in Mail and any other .Mac server stored mailboxes in Mail which are located under your .Mac account named icon in the mailboxes drawer only. It will not reflect the mailboxes for any other account, any imported mailboxes or user created "On My Mac" location mailboxes.
    > Sounds like what you're saying that in order for both .Mac and my mail.app to sync they both have to be marked ".Mac account" and not "on my Mac". That way they both operate from the main Mac server. Am I heading in the right direction?
    Not exactly.
    The Mail.app mailboxes drawer includes the following in this order:
    * Inbox
    * Drafts
    * Sent
    * Trash
    * Junk (only if Junk Mail is set to automatic)
    * Smart Mailboxes (only if you have created and are using any Smart Mailboxes)
    * Imported Mailboxes (only if you have imported any mailboxes)
    * User Created "On My Mac" location mailboxes.
    * .Mac account named icon
    The Inbox mailbox for each account is located under Inbox in the mailboxes drawer regardless the account type. Open Inbox in the mailboxes drawer by selecting the black triangle beside it pointing it down to reveal the account named Inbox mailbox for each account. Selecting an account named Inbox mailbox in the mailboxes drawer reveals messages received by that account only in the message list. Selecting Inbox in the mailboxes drawer reveals a blended Inbox mailbox for all accounts.
    Your .Mac account's Inbox mailbox in the mailboxes drawer is synchronized with the server which is the same behavior with any IMAP account. Messages in your Gmail or Yahoo account's Inbox mailbox are downloaded from the server, not synchronized with the Gmail or Yahoo servers and the same with any POP account. It is impossible for your .Mac account to synchronize the Inbox mailbox for a non-.Mac account.
    Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for your .Mac account preferences, if you don't store Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk messages on the server with your .Mac account when using Mail, the account's Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk mailboxes will be available under the Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk categories in the mailboxes drawer. All account mailboxes under Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk in the mailboxes drawer are stored locally on the hard drive.
    Open your .Mac account named icon in the mailboxes drawer. All mailboxes under your .Mac account named icon represent/refelect your .Mac account server stored mailboxes when accessing the account via webmail EXCEPT for the account's Inbox mailbox which is located under Inbox in the mailboxes drawer. If you don't select store Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk messages on the server under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for the account preferences, besides your .Mac account's Inbox mailbox, no other mailboxes are and can be synchronized with the server except for the mailboxes located under your .Mac account named icon in the mailboxes drawer.
    When creating a new mailbox, you can select "On My Mac" as the location which is stored locally on the hard drive and will not be synchronized with the server or any server.
    Or you can select your .Mac account as the location which will create a server stored mailbox which will be located under your .Mac account named icon in the mailboxes drawer and will be available on the server (via webmail access) and kept synchronized with the server.
    No other mailboxes in Mail will be available on the server with your .Mac account via webmail access and this is the same behavior with any email client such as the Mail.app.
    > Is this something I should ring up Applecare on to make it simpler to make them match? Or would changing them all to ".Mac account" and the server solve the issue?
    Calling AppleCare will be a waste of time because your problem is a lack of knowledge and understanding only. You can't change your Gmail or Yahoo email accounts to a .Mac account with Mail or with any email client since these are separate/different accounts.
