Having trouble filtering certain emails

I've had my .Mac account for about 8 months. I'm getting junk mail that is comprised of jpg and gif text rather than regular text. Does anyone know how to filter these emails?
I'm posting this in .Mac topics also, because I'm wondering if there's anyway to change my email address of my .Mac account or get a new one address or something, if there's no way to fiulter emails like this. It's that bad.

Thanks.

The main culprit is Pre-Approved Credit Card emails. I suspect an Online School of distributing my address because of the coincidental timing of requesting info about the school and receiving these emails. I would've considered this to have been a trust worthy site, maybe it's just coincidence. But the damage is done and using aliases at this point, or in this situation, won't prevent the current amount of junk i receive. I will set back to training and give it a try.
Thanks.

  • I am having trouble sending bulk emails (less than 100 at a time) on my gmail account using group names created from my address book.  I use Mail on my I-Mac.  When I try to send out a bulk email, the message shows up that my server can't send them, etc.

    I am having trouble sending bulk emails from a Mail Group (less than 100 at a time) on my gmail account.  They come back saying the server can't recognize the data and try again with selected server or try later or edit message, all of which I have attempted a number of times, including re-booting the computer.  I am wondering if there is something wrong in my Address Book?  I have check Apple Preferences, and Mail Preferences and all seems in order.  I can send to any of the individual addresses, but not in a group.
    Thanks for your help.

    Install ClamXav and run a scan with that. It should pick up any trojans.

    I have been having trouble getting my email on my iPad2.
    It started when I brought it to the US on vacation (I live in London and my email provider is Virgin Media). It worked once since I returned, but that is it.
    I can send emails, but can't get them.
    Any ideas, people?

    Hi Kharels
    Just posted this reply to 2 others with same sort of question:
    I have the same issue as i have my own email address and only want to use.
    There are two ways around this annoying problem. The first is to set up your own domain email account alongside your iCloud one, and when you go to send each email tap on From and you get a choice of emails addresses to reply from... ie your own domain or the iCloud one.  This is tedious though.
    The other is to set up your iCloud email as normal, then create a new one altogether. Choose 'Other' when creating this new account. Then put for the incoming server mail.me.com, along with your user name and password. For the outgoing server put the server you want to use - ie your own domain one. This is therefore a hybrid account and does work.
    Now switch off the email for iCloud (leaving on Calendar, Address Book etc). Switch on the email for your hybrid account (which of course is iCloud incoming as well).
    Providing you have directed your own domain email address to your me.com one, you will find the iPhone should behave itself and you can use the folders etc and these will synch with your Mac ok.
    Hope this work for you - let us know.

  • Having Trouble Downloading Certain Files

    I just got a Droid Razr the other day after accidentally dropping my Droid 2 off a third floor balcony. I'm enjoying the phone so far, but I'm having trouble downloading certain files. I use my phone to listen to podcasts. With my old phone I was able to download them from their respective websites by hold-clicking the download link, and clicking "Save Link." Now when I do that, I get the little "Starting Download" message, then, nothing. Is there some setting or something that isn't right?
    Full disclosure, when I was transferring the files from my old 8GB SD card to my new 16GB card, I accidentally put the files on the internal storage instead of the SD card, so after getting the files onto the right card, I deleted those files from internal storage. I was thinking perhaps I accidentally deleted some system file or something that would cause this problem, but I really have no idea.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Try Opera Mobile because a number of stock browsers have issues downloading from some sites.... 
    As for the possibilty od deleting system files you should not have access to any system files that would cause and device issues because you have to have Superuser rights and the system wont have this without voiding warrenty..

  • Since i reinstalled OSX i am having trouble downloading my email attachments

    since i reinstalled OSX i am having trouble downloading my email attachments. I have updated the system.

    I am using a new Apple TV streaming box. I cannot seem to get any itunes movies to completely download. If they do completely download, it often takes a day or more. Even when the download is apparently completed, ATV will often re-authorize the movie purchase...and the download process begins again. That is about the time I send emails and get refunds. NETFLIZ works beaitifully - fast, easy to use, NEVER a problem. I use a MAC, iPad too but have not synced either with ATV.
    Am I doing something wrong? This is incredibly frustrating for my family!!!!

  • Having trouble with my  email from google

    Having trouble with my email from gmail, both on my iPhone and on my iMac. It keeps asking to validate my password and e en after that it won't work. Does anyone know what to do?

    Hey Florian Fangohr,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with Mail in OS X Mavericks. Base on the symptoms you provided, the following article may help to resolve your issue:
    Mail (Mountain Lion): If your password is not saved
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11775
    If you click “Save password” in a dialog in Mail but still have to enter your password, there are a couple of things you can try.
    - Open Keychain Access, and then locate and delete the mail account password item.
    While in Keychain Access, you can also choose Keychain Access > Keychain First Aid to verify and repair keychain settings.
    - Open Disk Utility, and then select the volume (for your hard disk or disks) in the list of disks and volumes. Click First Aid and then click Verify Disk. If necessary, click Repair Disk. Then send yourself a test message.
    Note: The same steps apply for OS X Mavericks
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • TS1398 I am having trouble accessing certain websites on my ipad2

    I am having trouble accessing certain websites on my ipad2 which I used to be able to access. all I get is a white/blank screen. One site is www.fodors.com. another is http://www.baseballhq.com/members/. Any suggestions?

    I have no trouble with them. Try this and see if resolves the issue,
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If that doesn't help, quit Safari and then relaunch it.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    If that doesn't help, try this.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

    We are fellow users here on these public forums, I've asked the hosts to remove your phone number and email address from your post - it's not a good idea to post personal info on any public forum.
    If you are trying to add an email account to the Mail app then you should be able to so via Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and on the right-hand side of that screen there should be an 'Add Account' button. Tap that, select the type/provider of the account, and fill in its details - you might then just need to fill in your name, your email address, the account's password, and a description.

    Did you change the password on your Mac as well? Go to Mail / Preferences / Accounts and change it there too.

    i am having trouble with the email that is confirming my security questions, it says it has sent it to my gmail but i have checked the email account and nothing has been sent, i have waited 24 hours for it and still nothing.

    Hi Cara154,
    If you are having issues receiving the email verification for your security questions, you may find the following article helpful:
    When you provide a rescue email address during Apple ID creation, you will receive an email from Apple to verify that the email address provided is accurate. If you don't see an email from Apple asking you to verify your rescue email address, you may want to check your SPAM folder. If you still haven't received the email from Apple, you can sign in to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com) to resend your rescue email address. To resend your verification email, click on Password & Security. Then, click the Resend link located in the Rescue Email Address section.

    There seems to be a few bugs with iCloud Mail at times, so send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.
