How do I remove or find all junk mail?

I just noticed the my mail.app preferences for junk say "mark it as spam but leave it in the inbox".
So, I want to remove all junk from my inbox, but there's NO "is junk" criteria in the search feature.
I just added a new rule to delete junk email, and running rules on all messages selected in inbox does nothing. I edited the rule and when I saved it, it asked me if I wanted to run it. Again, nothing. Junk email just won't go, I can't find it, sort it, nothing. It's really annoying.
Edited: Extra info added.

Are you using gmail? I don't think this is a feature of mail.app in Lion. I know gmail implemented this "enhancement" a while ago. I turned it off in the gmail settings because it was annoying when using the web interface. It's possible that mail.app is now mirroring this "feature" of gmail.

    How do i remove the finder window from my start up desktop.

    Are you saying that when you log in, there are finder windows open before you even do anything? If so, that's because last time you logged out you left them open. Next time close all your finder windows before you log out and you should be good.

  • HT1694 How to delete all junk Mail at once?

    I will like to erase all junk mail at once don't want to delete one by one

    One-by-one deletion goes pretty fast if you look at, say, your inbox, click "Edit" and then check each box on the screen.
    Other than that, you cannot delete all mail at once on your iPad, short of restoring it (which would delete all email on your iPad).

  • I have several imap accounts and want to click one button to empty all junk mail at once. How can I do this?

    I currently run Apple Mail on Lion with several IMAP acocunts... I know that there is a right-click option to remove "all deleted" messages  but what If I wanted to do the same for all messages marked at junk in all accounts.  It's really a pain to have to click on each account, select all the junk in the junk folder, press delete over and over.. and then right-click and select "Erase Deleted Items"    Why the heck can't they just have "Erase All Spam Items" also... ??   Or how about "Erase all SPAM and DELETED ITEMS from ALL accounts"   ????

    I found the solution and here's how to correct things:
    Apple Mail
    Mail has a feature, accessible from the Mailbox Behaviors (or Special Mailboxes) tab of the Accounts preferences, that can automatically delete old spam messages from the Junk mailbox. You can use this feature if you tell SpamSieve to put spam messages in the Junk mailbox instead of the Spam mailbox.
    (Note: If you do this, be careful not to use the Junk and Not Junk buttons that will appear in Mail when the Junk mailbox is active; you should always use the SpamSieve - Train as Good and SpamSieve - Train as Spam commands instead. You can use the Customize Toolbar… command in Mail’s View menu to remove the Junk button from the toolbar. Also, if you select a message that SpamSieve has classified as spam, Mail will show a banner saying that you marked it as junk. Ignore this.)
    Make sure that Mail knows which mailbox is your Junk mailbox by selecting it and choosing Mailbox ‣ Use This Mailbox For ‣ Junk.
    To tell SpamSieve to use the Junk mailbox, open Mail’s Preferences window and click on Junk Mail. Make sure that Enable junk mail filtering is checked. Select Move it to the Junk mailbox. If Mail asks whether you want to move all the messages to the Junk mailbox, say No. Next, select Perform custom actions. Then click theAdvanced… button and edit the rule such that the conditions don’t match any messages. For example, use these two conditions:
    Message is addressed to my Full Name
    Message is not addressed to my Full Name
    and set it to If all of the following conditions are met. Click OK to close the sheet. Do not make any further changes to the Junk Mail preferences.
    Go to the Rules section of Mail’s preferences and change the SpamSieve rule to move the messages to the Junk mailbox instead of the Spam mailbox. Finally, chooseSpamSieve - Change Settings from Mail’s Message menu and, when prompted, say that the name of your spam mailbox is Junk.

  • How Can I Remove the Finder Icon From the Dock?

    Hi! Can someone tell me how to remove the Finder icon from the dock? I don't even care if Finder quits. I just want it removed from the dock. I really don't care if I can't get to my files. Please help.

    Start by going to your core services, (/system/library/coreservices). You can do this by pressing Shift+Cmd+G and then paste (/system/library/coreservices), without parentheses.
    After doing this, find Dock.app, right click, show package contents. This doesn't contain the icons on your dock, just finder and trash.
    After that, move all finder services to the desktop, and then erase them from the core services folder. At this point it will prompt you to put in your password, do so.
    Next you'll want to open terminal and type 'killall dock' or, you could restart your computer.
    This should remove the finder icon from your dock, while still giving you access to it from your desktop.
    Hope this helps!

  • How to get iTunes to find all missing songs which are in the library

    iTunes keeps telling me it can't find around 150 songs and I have to manually point it to each folder - it offers to use location to find other missing tracks but that only works for songs in the same album folder, not other artists/albums. Is there something I can do to find all songs at once?

    Hi,
    Try Doug's Applescripts for iTunes, he has one for finding missing songs.
    http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=listmias
    You can browse his site to find where to put the downloaded script.
    Good luck.

  • How can I remove my new iCloud e-mail and return my MS Outlook Contacts to my PC?

    Greetings all,
    Just got a new iPhone 5S.  Wanted to backup 4s to iCloud so I entered iCloud setup. In going through the iCloud set up process I created an iCloud e-mail account despite having no need for one.  It appeared as if it was a necessity ?,  I use MS Outlook 2010 for e-mail.  iCloud set up requested I create an iCloud e-mail, so i did.  I do not need an iCloud e-mail.  In the process of setting up the new iCloud e-mail, setup removed all my contacts from Outlook and sent them to the iCloud e-mail account, I assumed that the contacts would be copied, not moved. I no longer have any contacts in Outlook.  I would like to remove the new e-mail account from iCloud and ensure that the associated contacts are returned to my PC properly. All the iCloud e-mail help areas I have looked through have not provided any guidance on this issue. Perhpas I only went down ten layers of info and this info is in the 15th layer down?   Thanks for any guidance, Apple/PC folks.   Craig

    This is Craig 237B,
    I just found the contacts for my Outlook account hidden in an iCloud folder in Outlook. 
    I still would like advice to remove my new iCloud e-mail and return Outlook to it's previous state, if someone knows this?
    Thanks
    Craig

  • HT1694 how do I remove an email address from Mail that is not in my contacts list?

    I have and E-mail address that comes up when I start typing an address into Mail when I create a new E-mail and this particular E-mails address is not associated with any of my Contacts.
    How can I remove this E-mail address so it no longer appears?
    Apple iPhone 4S iOS 5.1
    thank you
    Dave

    You're welcome.
    If that email address is your Apple ID, I don't believe you can delete it.
    If you have your cell phone number selected as your Caller ID, when sending an iMessage it will be sent from your phone number.
    Since your Apple ID email address is registered as well, if someone has your email address in their contacts, they can select your email address to send you an iMessage in addition to your phone number.
    When this recipient says you are sometimes sending an iMessage via email, it is received as an email with the Mail app on their iPhone, not with the Messages app?

  • How do I remove/disable the Windows 8 Mail App

    How can I remove the Windows 8 Mail App from my computer? I am unable to select another mail provider and I absolutely do not want to get my Passport aka Windows Live ID involved with my mail under any conditions whatsoever.
    I have a vbs script that installed another mail provider in IE9 but it doesn't seem to work with Windows 8/IE 11.   I want this mail application off my machine entirely.
    How do I accomplish that?

  • How can I permanently change color of junk mail listing to black?

    How can I permanently change color of my junk mail listings? It is light brown and difficult to read.

    I'm trying to do the same...no problem choosing the color, but when I used an advanced rule, I no longer have the option in a drop down menu to "erase junk mail". Seems like any combination of an advanced junk mail rule wipes out the option to erase junk mail, and I don't want mail to automatically delete my junk email. I tried outting a stop evaluating after the text color, but that didn't work.

    I keep receiving a bunch of junk mail in the last week & haven't done anything out of the ordinary. Other than marking it as junk mail or changing my email, how do I stop getting so much junk delivered to my email?

    You can't, so mark it as Junk.

  • How do I remove Safari including all related files on a Mac?

    Hi,
    How do I completely remove Safari, including perferences and other related files?
    I want to do a fresh re-install of Safari.
    I downloaded Safari from the Internet so I got the software to install.
    However installing it on top of my old Safari installation does not resolve the specific issue I have with Safari.
    In other words, reinstalling doesn't help as the problem carries over in some way.
    It's worth nothing that I don't have the issue on any of my other macs. Just on the iMac and I want to get back to a situation where the iMac works as before the issue occured.
    Already tried to empty cache and following some other advice that might be causing the issue I have. All to no avail.
    So now I want to completely remove Safari so I'm sure nothing caries over from before the re-install.
    How to do that?

    Removing Safari won't help. and since you've tried reinstalling and that didn't help... try some troubleshooting.
    Login to another user account on your Mac. Try Safari there. Same issues there, then it's possible the startup disk needs repairing. Help here.   http://support.apple.com/error/503.html?locale=en_US&viewlocale=en_US
    (The support pages are down for a bit but should be up soon). If the startup disk needs repairing, follow the instructions at that link when it's available.
    If Safari is ok in another account then at least you know it's not a system wide issue.
    Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file. Quit Safari if it's open.
    Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Open Safari. If it functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash. If not, move it back to the Preferences folder.
    Next, check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. Turn that off if you have any installed, then try Safari.
    Next.. try resetting Safari. From the menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.
