How should I mark a message as spam when using Mail with IMAP Gmail

Hi,
I've been using Apple Mail 3.2 with Gmail's IMAP for several month's and am very happy with the setup. One feature of Gmail that's great is the spam filtering, however, every day a couple spam messages get through the filtering. My question is this: What's the best way to train Gmail of a spam message?
Accessing Gmail through the Safari allows you to mark a message as Spam. I assume that Gmail then does something to train its algorithm that spam has been received so that a similar message will go direct to the Spam folder the next time its received.
I prefer to deal with my email via Apple Mail or via the iPhone Mail and have been moving spam messages to the Spam folder. Does this action do anything to train Gmail's spam filtering so that a similar message will go direct to the spam folder?
Thanks

Hello Hal:
I think you will get a better answer to your question by contacting G-mail. In my case, I use AOL mail in Apple's mail application. AOL catches the vast majority of spam/junk and it is placed in a spam folder. The few that get through seem to be trapped by Apple's mail and placed in the Junk folder.

    How do you mark a message as spam when your mail comes from gmail via OS X Mail.app?
    I use IMAP to get Gmail. I seem to remember seeing a "[Gmail]/Spam" IMAP folder in previous versions of the app, but that's not visible any more.
    Without this, I have to log on to the web-based Gmail to mark messages as spam, that's a productivity killer.

  • How do I save sent emails on my web server using Mail with IMAP?

    I have email through a web hosting company setup as IMAP through Apple Mail. In preferences, I have the box checked to save sent emails on the server, however, when I send emails they are stored in Sent Messages folder on my Mac and not on my web server. Also, when I send emails on my iPhone they are stored in the regular Sent folder for my email under Mailboxes.
    How can I get all my sent emails stored on my web server?

    In Mail, select the mailbox you want to use for sent emails, then go the 'Mailbox' menu and choose 'use this mailbox for' and click 'sent'.  The same goes for your iPhone.  In settings, go to the advanced settings of the outgoing email server.  There you can choose which mailbox you want to use for storing your drafts, sent items, ...

    How do I get the photo tray option to come up in iphoto from my mac notebook when I have an HP C6280 all-in-one printer

    I have an HP all-in-one C5140.  When I print from iPhoto the dialog that comes up has a "Presets" drop down at the bottom.  One of the choices is "Print from Photo Tray."  Is that there on yours?  If not make sure you have the latest software from HP.

  • IPhone 3G mail with IMAP gmail getting "message has no content"

    I have been using a POP3 mail account with no trouble. I switched to gMail, and started getting occasional problems where mail forwarded from my work e-mail would show up as "message has no content" on the iPhone, yet in the gMail web interface, there is indeed content. I have seen that a lot of other people are having this problem also, and it seems to have started with the upgrade to software version 2.1. Does anyone know if Apple is working on this problem? I really need to get this to work, because I am the sole iPhone user here amidst a sea of Blackberry users, and I cannot afford to look like I am the only one having a problem.

    have the exact same problem and would appreciate some suggestions and solutions as well.

  • How to get higher cpu voltage during load when using "auto" with P67A-GD55?

    I have a little question regarding cpu voltage: When i set vcore to "auto" i get a nice low voltage when idle but during load i only get 1.264 max and that is to low.
    Is there a setting to increase the voltage during load and still have the cpu vcore set to auto?
    Thanks
    System:
    P67A-GD55 with 1.8 bios
    I7 2600k
    8gb Corsair

    OK, so you are able to set your CPU voltage manually. You need to consider that the auto voltages will compensate only up to a certain OC level, after which the user usually has to do manual adjustments. This auto compensation differs for each hardware combination. As HU16E suggested, try low VDroop and see if it helps. The other alternative is a BIOS flash, or manual voltage settings.
    I tried low vdroop but it didn´t make any difference. But it´s ok, i can set the vcore manually but i was just investigating if i could get the best of both worlds with the powersavings auto vcore offers during idle

  • How do I mark a message "replied?"

    So I use mail with my gmail account. sometimes, when i'm away from my computer, i access my mail through gmail. when i reply to a message there, it doesn't show up as replied in my mail program. i'm a weird neatfreak like that and i'd love to be able to go in and manually mark messages as "replied" if they are, but i can't see how to do that. any help?

    Steven,
    I know of no way to do this. The indicators of a Reply or a Forward, are set up to point to that Reply or Forward Message, which since done in Web access, is not available to the email client. Thus, it would seem no facility has been provided to Mark as replied, since the message will not be available to point toward.
    Furthermore, since the Gmail server does not provide messages you copy to yourself for download to any POP client, you cannot use that to have a message to file in the Sent aboard your computer. However, with Gmail accounts, unlike most POP accounts, if you use the Gmail SMTP for sending from Mail, then those sent from Mail, will be filed on the Gmail server. Thus, Google has designed the service to place primary reliance on the web based use of Gmail, it would seem.

    Who is the email carrier?
    Gmail app has an option to mark each email as Spam.
    In the desktop Yahoo, AOL, etc, there are Spam controls you can use, and emails go to the Spam folder on the phone.
    If the mail app you are using doesn't have an option to mark as Spam, then go to your computer and see if you can set up Spam controls for the email there.  When the app syncs it should filter the spam according to the rules you've set up on your computer.

    Is the MacBook the computer you have synced with in the past? If not you can use the computer that you have synced with to restore your apps. Are you sure you are using the same Apple ID that you used to purchase the Apps?

  • How can I send a message to multiple contacts using "groups".

    How can I send a message to multiple contacts using "groups".
    It was easy on my sony ericssonn....do i need to download an app?

    There is no group send option like you are looking for.
    To send to a group you have to pick each person you want to send to and send as a group that way. Then don't delete that SMS thread and you can reuse it again later.
    As for an app, well SMS works via your carrier and the OS, not something an App can do unless the app send the data to them (a third party) and then they relay it to the carrier. Do you really want to be sending your SMS to some 3rd party first?

  • How do I mark the entire contents of a RichTextBox (gRTbxInfo) with a background color of white?

    How do I mark the entire contents of a RichTextBox (gRTbxInfo) with a background color of white?
    I have code that finds / marks words with a different color.  Now I want to remove that color.  I've started with the following, but cannot complete it.
        //int iLength = gRTbxInfo.Length
        int iLength = 10;
        TextRange trText = new TextRange(gRTbxInfo.Document.ContentStart, gRTbxInfo.Document.ContentEnd);
        TextPointer tpStart = trText.Start.GetInsertionPosition(LogicalDirection.Forward);
        TextPointer tpSelectionStart = tpStart.GetPositionAtOffset(0, LogicalDirection.Forward);
        TextPointer tpSelectionEnd = tpSelectionStart.GetPositionAtOffset(iLength, LogicalDirection.Forward);
        TextRange tpSelection = new TextRange(tpSelectionStart, tpSelectionEnd);
        tpSelection.ApplyPropertyValue(TextElement.BackgroundProperty, new SolidColorBrush(Colors.White));
    bhs67

    Isn't that just
    TextRange tr = new TextRange(rtb.Document.ContentStart, rtb.Document.ContentEnd);
    tr.ApplyPropertyValue(TextElement.BackgroundProperty, Brushes.White);
    Hope that helps.

    WoW! I'm surprised by the speed you reply and how serious you are with your answers! Thank you very much guys!!!
    Replying to Toad-Hall:
    I have a proper mailing list created as the manual says. It's a small group of contacts that exist in the address book. I do not type them as CC I just write "clients" and before I finish the word the name of the list appears.
    How can I stop Avast from scanning out going mail? It's the free version and I haven't found a real solution. I also tried to totally turn off the "mail shield" but I kept facing the same issues. However, I just turned it off and tried to send the mail, I didn't restart windows or thunderbird
    The idea with ipage server was fantastic! It would never come to my mind!!! As far as I see, the limit is 250 mails per hour. I doubt if I have ever reached the 50% of it. I also don't reach the bandwith limits... Besides that, if I had exceeded the limit I would get multi responses that "mail was not delivered".
    I want to thank you both for your excellent help so far. I'm sad to say that I still haven't solved the issue. When I made smaller lists, with the same addresses chosen from the address book I could send the messages, having a short delay. I would blame Avast but I tried the same on another laptop with my favourite NOD32 and had the same problem.
    What else should I check? Should I focus on Avast?

  • Mail with multiple gmail accounts sending messages from wrong email, other than the one i select

    mail with multiple gmail accounts sending messages from wrong email, other than the one i select:
    i'm using mail on osx 10.7 with multiple gmail accounts. when i create an email, i check to be sure i'm sending/replying from the correct account. after i send it, somehow it actually sends it from a different account, other than the one i've selected "from." this is evidenced by the reply email i receive. how can i fix this?
    in preferences, i have "send new messages from : account of selected mailbox"

    From the Mail menu bar, select
              Mail ▹ Preferences...
    The Mail preference dialog opens. Select the Composing tab from the row of icons at the top. From the menu labeled
              Send new messages from:
    choose
              Account of selected mailbox
    Note that this setting may have no effect if you start a new message while a VIP or smart mailbox is selected in the mailbox list. Those are saved searches, not actual mailboxes.
    If the problem remains, select the Accounts tab in the preference dialog, then select the affected account in the list on the left.
    In the Account Information pane, select the correct server in the menu labeled
              Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
    If there's only one server in the menu, select
              Edit SMTP Server List...
    and add a new server with the correct settings. If you're not sure how to do that, try the Mail Settings Lookup.
    Another possibility is that the wrong card in your address book is selected as yours. Select your card in the Contacts application. Then select
              Card ▹ Make This My Card
    from the menu bar.
