How do I avoid receiving junk mail (filtered on MacBook) on my iPhone?

The subject is the essence of my question. I cannot find any settings on the iPhone4 for junk mail filter.
Anders N L

There are no settings on the iPhone to do this. Unlike the Mail app on your computer, the iPhone Mail app is simply not as full featured. You'd have to do that at the server level for your phone.

How Can I Turn OFF Junk Mail Filter for IMAP Accounts Only?

I am trying to figure out how to turn off the Junk Mail filtering for IMAP accounts such as .Mac/.ME and GMAIL. All filtering is working fine on the server side, and reviewing the mail that is tagged is easy enough by just going to the account and displaying the folders created on the server.
I've checked the Junk mail pref and although the Advance settings let you isolate specific accounts to check, it does not give you the option bypass checking an account.
i.e.
if <Any> of the following conditions are met:
<Account> <is not> <Gmail (IMAP)>
As is, the mail rules are working perfectly on the server side, but in Apple Mail, many mails are being sent the Apple Mail's Junk folder.
When going through the Gmail's instructions on setting up a Gmail account for Apple Mail, it specifically says to turn off Junk mail filtering for the account, but I can't find any options to do that.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
TIA

I haven't tried this, but it should work:
Make a new rule,
If <Any> <Account> is <Gmail> or <Account> is <.me> then "Stop evaluating rules".
Move this rule to the last in the list of rules.
In the Junk Mail preferences, be sure that "Filter junk mail before applying my rules" is unchecked.

How to set up junk mail filtering in mac mail

Is there a new way to set up junk mail filtering? I have been getting an increased amount of junk mail which the filter seems to allow through. Also, when I select emails and mark them as junk, when I delete them, they "reappear" still marked as junk. Really weird. But I will have to delete them several times for them to disappear out of my IN box. Not sure if this is due to a string of them coming in at once.
any advice out there?

Junk mail filtering problem

My Mail v2.1 (752/752.2) has learned, and presumably is still learning on an ever-ongoing basis, what is Junk and what is not Junk mail and it seems to be pretty accurate.
However, it always treats two specific senders, from which I receive emails fairly regularly, as Junk no matter how many times I click the Not Junk button to tell Mail that they are not junk.
Why does it persist in failing to learn these two specific sender addresses and how can I "force" it to learn without dumping the whole Junk filtering criteria and starting again?
Thanks.

Ok, here goes ...
added to the Window > Previous Recipients - Yes, both are there.
Sender of message is in my Previous Recipients is checked - No, it asn't but it is now!
Have you made any changes to the junk filter in Preferences > Junk Mail > Advanced? - Not knowingly. The logic is: If All: Sender is not in my previous Recipients > Sender is not in my addresss book > Message is Junk mail then Move message to Junk.
Go to Preferences > Junk Mail, disable junk mail filtering, then enable it again. - Done.
Choose either Training or Automatic mode - Automatic selected.
lick Advanced to see how the junk filter rule is defined now - The logic now is: If All: Sender is not in my previous Recipients > Sender is not in my addresss book > Message is Junk mail then Move message to Junk which looks pretty much the same to me except for the order, but that shouln't matter should it?
but don’t touch anything there - I wouldn't dare! :-))
Thanks, I'll report back when I receive any new emails from them. As one of them is news alerts from Lynchburg, Virginia there will peoably be a few after this afternoon's (UK time) news of today's shootings.

Junk Mail Filtering - is it me or is it just rubbish?

Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere, but didn't have the patience to wade through all the threads. Hopefully someone can help...
Frankly, I think the filtering on Mail (using 3.5 with OSX 10.5.6) is hopeless. Simply put, I've tried configuring it every which way in Preferences but the same issues persist. The main one being that when I configure to "exclude" those in my address book and/or previous recipients list from junk mail filtering ...people in my address book (SPECIFICALLY ME) still end up in the junk mail folder.
I have 2 accounts: Mail.com (POP3) and Gmail (IMAP) and I use an iPhone for mobile access. And I have a work email. All three are in my address card in Address Book.
Yet whenever I send myself (or anyone else) an email -- either from work or from my iPhone or even from within Mail -- it still ends up in the junk mail folder.
I think the problem is that Mail's filtering doesn't look at email addresses. It must look at how the name is set up??? i.e., LAST FIRST or FIRST LAST, etc. and when any of these don't match up it puts it into junk mail folder????
It just seems rubbish to me. Outlook had much more sophisticated filtering options\rule set up.
Anyone got any ideas on how to solve this? Thanks.

If you have multiple email addresses in your card in Address Book, which messages are going to Junk, and what email address was used?
All three emails go to junk. My work to either personal address. Gmail to Mail and Mail to Gmail emails all go to junk
Have you tried setting up the Junk filter so that:
If any of the following conditions are met:
*Sender is not in my Address Book*
*Sender is not in my Previous Recipients*
Message is Junk Mail
Perform the following actions:
*Move message to mailbox: (Junk mailbox On My Mac)*
Yep. Tried that. Still didn't work. Even tried ticking "not junk" on each of the several tests I've sent myself -- and then re-sent more tests, which still ended up in junk????
As I said, I've tried virtually every possible configuration of boxes ticked and unticked and nothing...
My latest setting (using your advanced rules above) were:
Enable Junk Mail - ticked
When Junk Mail arrives - 'perform custom actions'
Msgs Exempt - In address book and previous recipients both ticked. Use my full name unticked
Trust ISP headers - unticked
Filter before applying rules - have tried this both ticked and unticked... same result
Thanks,
The Smoking Man
PS - Should add that when others send me email to the Gmail or Mail accounts they properly go to inbox, not junk. It's just when I send myself something (anything, really)...

How can I remove the junk mail folder from appearing in my macbook mail program?

Hi all
Can someone please tell me how I can remove the "junk" mailbox from showing in my mail program on my macbook? It wasn't there before and I would like it removed. I've attached a screen shot to be clearer in my request.
Thank you!

Hey PrincessJasmine,
I see that you wish to get rid of the Junk Mail folder from your sidebar in Mail on OS X. I have an article for you that will explain how to do this:
Choose Mail > Preferences, then click Junk Mail. Make sure “Enable junk mail filtering” and “Mark as junk mail, but leave it in my Inbox” are selected.

TS4002 How can I change iCloud junk mail settings from my iPhone?

I have junk mail filtering turned on in iCloud. If it incorrectly tags mail as junk it is easy to correct using the web interface but there doesn't seem to be a way to do it from iPhone. How can you mark mail as junk / not junk from iOS? Matters are made worse in that it is not even possible to access the web app from an iOS device?

Yes! Fine if you have a computer and of course that's exactly what I do. But it is a bit frustrating! iOS and iCloud are supposed to be seamlessly integrated and this seems like a big omission. And with the push towards iOS devices being completely independent devices, unhooked from a computer, this seems like something that should be improved upon. Seems minor, but if you use your iOS device as your primary email client it is a real hassle. I'd be surprised if nobody else is frustrated by this. Anyone? How do you go about nagging Apple to sort it out?

How can i get my junk mail on my ipad?

How can i get my junk mail on my ipad ? I only receive regulare e-mail on my ipad. Offten regular mail is placed into junk mail.

With an IMAP account along with storing the account's junk mailbox on the server with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account.
All server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account will be available automatically when accessing the account with the iPad's Mail app along with all server stored mailboxes kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account. You will also be able to transfer a legit message from the account's junk mailbox to the account's Inbox mailbox.
None of this is possible with a POP account.

Junk Mail only works after I disable and reenable Junk Mail Filtering

Since installing Tiger, junk mail filtering does not work automatically. It neither marks incoming messages as junk nor moves them to the Junk folder.
I am able to get it to work by selecting Preferences > Junk Mail and then unchecking "Enable junk mail filtering" and then checking it. Mail then asks to "Move Junk Messages" and when I respond "Yes" it marks the appropriate messages as Junk and moves them to the Junk folder.
Unfortunately, it only works for the messages already received. New mail that is "junk" is not marked as such and appears in my inbox and I have to repeat the manual process to get it removed.
Any suggestions for a more permanent solution?

Will it also forget the "learned" junk mail? (That took years to learn.)
No.
The MessageRules.plist file stores all Mail.app rules including the default Junk Mail rules.
All Junk Mail "learned" settings are stored in the LSMMap2 file also located at the first level within the Mail folder.
Since the LSMMap2 file can become corrupt as with any other file, this file should be included with a regular backup of the Mail folder and the Mail.app preference file at Home > Library Preferences > com.apple.mail.plist.
All Mail.app account information is stored in the Mail.app preference file.
If you experience any problems with the Junk Mail filter, your options are using the Junk Mail reset feature which resets all "learned" settings or replace the existing LSMMap2 file with a copy of a working backup copy with the Mail.app quit before doing so.
If the Mail.app preference file becomes corrupt (which I've never experienced but others have), when targeting the preference file requires re-entering all email account information. If you have a working backup copy of the com.apple.mail.plist file, you can replace the existing with the Mail.app quit before doing so without having to re-enter all email account information again.
You need to replace an existing backup copy of the Mail.app preference file only after making any changes to account information or when adding or deleting an account in Mail.
You may already have a backup strategy but if not, it is very important since it isn't a matter of if but when your hard drive has a partial or complete failure. I learned my lesson the hard way about 5 years ago. Without warning, I experienced a complete hard drive failure. I didn't maintain a backup at the time and none of the existing data was recoverable.

Junk mail filtering service is blocking the server activities

Very dears all,
I am a young ADC Selected Membership (while I am mature as person, with my 54 years old!) and I am used to run the new release as soon I have it available for download. This I did also for 10.5.7 (while I am now ready to start the Snow testing) but after a while I had a strange loose of reaction of the server every 8 minutes.
I checked that the problem come from junk mail filtering service so that when I activate it the server activities are blocked once every 7..8 minutes (the server is unresponsive).
I checked that the amavis.log is full of messages in every slice of time (about 50 messages for each slice). Moreover, the slice are every tenth of a second!
I have not found clear indication neither on "AppleMacOsX_Command_Line_Adminv10.5" nor on "MailService_Admin_v10.5_2ndEd".
How to check for the cause of the blocking?
Many thanks,
Carmine

Very dear pterobyte,
I am not sure but the server should have been started on Leopard! Is is there a way to check it?
Consider that the junkmail filter has been working OK before it was upgraded to the latest releases for 1.5.7 (let's say before the mid of April). It was progressively shorting both the unresponsive duration and the cycling between unresponsive. So that yesterday I had to switch off the junkmail filtering, after I detected it was the cause.
I have now restarted the junkmail filter and here You can see the related answer to the command You asked me (first line is when it was off, then one line every 5 seconds, till answer is repeated):

Junk mail filtering too much

I've recently been having an issue with junk mail filtering in Mac OS X Mtn Lion.
Along with normal junk mail, messages from addresses in my Address Book and Previous Recipients are being filtered as junk. I've checked the appropriate boxes in Preferences to prevent this, but it seems to have no effect.
Even worse, it's filtering as junk email I sent to myself from my work email to my home email (both are in Address Book).
Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas on how to resolve it?

Do you have any rules defined that are marking messages as junk? Check all rules very carefully, and consider termporarily disabling all of them just to see if that makes any difference.
BTW, note that this is the Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8) forum... you'll get better answers posting in the Lion (10.7) forum, since you're running Lion. I've asked the hosts to move this topic over there.

Disabling junk mail filtering for specific domains

I have a situation where I am getting dozens of messages from individuals all in a specific domain, and all are good messages which I want in my inbox; Mail however thinks they are all junk and moves them to the junk folder. They are NOT brown so I cannot select them and say they are not junk mail, they look like regular email. These are from people I do NOT want in my address book yet they are messages I need to respond to.
How can I tell the junk mail filter that massages from a given domain should not be filtered? In short, I want just the right-hand-side of the address, the domain component, to be given the OKAY!
Thanks - Lawrence

Thanks - I tried the advance tab but could not see how to specify a domain but now I look again I see that there is a way - I think. But Kappy, what you say tells me something I did not know: I thought that filters, rules, et al, were applied when a message is in the inbox - but I have this wrong I think. If I read your reply rightly - the message is examined for junk filters, rules, et al, BEFORE it gets assigned to ANY mailbox! Am I right? This is how your suggestion would work. So I can have an initial rule that simple uses a list of approved domains - and sticks anything from such a domain into the inbox where no more filtering or rule analysis will take place. And the more I think about this, the more it makes sense.
Thanks - Lawrence

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?
