How To Earmark Non-English email as Junk?

For some reason, for a long time I have been getting many spams every day that are in Portugese. I would like to create a rule in Mail to automatically move all email that is in Portugese (or in any language other than English) into my Junk folder. Is there a way to do this? Thanks very much in advance.

Strictly speaking, and to my knowledge, no.
I don't think it is possible to create a rule in Mail based on language. It seems to me that you can go along two different paths. First, consider a rule not based on language, but on criteria available in Mail. Eg, move message to junk if sender is not in your address book.
Alternatively, you can create a complex rule or set of rules to approximate what you want, by checking the message contents. For instance, you can combine a rule which checks if the message contains the character Ô (o-tilde), which is encountered in Portuguese and a couple of other languages, with one which checks if it doesn't contain the character W, which in Portuguese appears only in foreign words, but is fairly common in English. However, at best, this will be a very much hit-and-miss affair. You can also add rules which check for the content of the Accept-Language and Content-Language fields, or for charset, but none of these will work very well, because, for instance, utf8 can be used for many different languages.
Maybe you should just start by examining the offending messages using View > Message > Raw Source. Perhaps you'll find a much simpler way to filter them out -- eg, perhaps they all come from the .br TLD.

  • How to retrieve non-english characters from a query

    Hello,
    My apologies if this post is not in its proper place, but I was a bit confused where to add it.
    I'm running a query using SQL Developer on a table which contains several companies names from many different countries, and one of the checks I need to make to ensure data consistency is to search for all rows which the name of company contains special or non-english characters (like ç, ã, ä as example).
    I don't know what can I use to do this. I tried to collate using NLS_SORT but it didn't work.
    Is there someway to select only the rows that contain these special or non-english characters, excluding from the results the rows that only have english characters? Please have in mind that we have many languages in this table.
    The field I would like to make the conditions on is VARCHAR2.
    Please let me know if there is any extra information I should provide you so that you can help me.
    Thank you in advance for the help.
    Regards,
    Luís

  • How to Identify non-english characters in a Text

    Hi Experts,
    I have a text coming from KNA1-NAME1 which contains non-english characters / language at times. I want to identify them in my code so that I can skip them.
    Can you please guide with some Command / FM that help to identify these non-english characters?
    Regards,
    Nirmal

    Hi,
    I am fine with english characters A-Z, a-z or 0-9 or special characters. But it contains some chinese, japanes or non-english language characters which I dont want.
    The logic explained by you above would expect me to list all the valid characters. Also it would be a performance constraint. Hence i wanted something as FM or standard procedure. Can we use ASCII somehow ?

  • How to type non-english in office

    hi, i installed office 2011 on my imac but i don't know how to change the language of my keyboard to type in office like word or outlook, etc. pls advice

    thanks Tom
    it is not the matter of RTL only. I need two facilities for Arabic or Persian fonts:
    - RTL writing
    - Lettering
    in English typing we don't have any attachment between letters (Except the font of "Handwriting") but in Arabic or Persian (Farsi) almost all letters have kind of attachments, otherwise letters will type separate and meaningless like this as follow:
    سلام      is correct (=salam means hello)
    س ل ا م  in-correct (meaningless)
    because in some programmes or apps like "Notes" i can change writing language on top of screen and use Arabic writing but LTR. even here i can write correctly Arabic or Farsi! or, in "Outlook" which is a part of Office, Arabic writing is available without any problem but not in Word!
    however, i could write in other programme and transfer it to Word but it cannot be a terminate solution ofcourse.
    however, unfortunately when i open Word, i don't see any Arabic fonts you mentioned! how should i add these fonts to my Office or Word?
    i am new Apple user, sorry for asking.
    kind regards

    Extended character sets are only available on phones which contain languages for the regions which use them, so you'd need a phone intended for sale in a European country to be sure if getting these characters.
    Nokia does not provide a way for the user to add support for other languages to the phone, but in some countries it can be added by a Nokia service point. This is an extra service outside of the warranty contract between the service point and Nokia, so all points may not offer the service and if they do you should expect to pay for it.

  • Verifying non BT email address

    Hi.
    I'm sure this answer is posted somewhere already but .....
    I am trying to verify a non-BT email address for sending emails.  It keeps telling me an email has been sent to me but it never arrives.  I have double checked (many times) the spelling is correct and also looked in the spam.
    Incidentally - this is my own domain (i.e. [email protected])  is this the problem?
    Thanks in advance

    Its like having a phone that can only receive call what's the point in that !
    Hi. Welcome to the forums.
    Have a look at my shortcuts (link below), option 0e.
    Are you getting any error messages ? What sort of settings are you using ? What was your previous ISP, and how was the non ISP email setup on Outlook ?
    Unless you do have the capability of using the 3rd party smtp service with your email address (not always available, depending on the service), then you need to go through address verification, and make sure things like smtp authentication is set - as well as making sure the smtp settings in Outlook are correct.

  • How can the symbol and non-English diacritical marking, etc accessed with combinations of letters and functional keys prior to Snow Leopard be achieved in Snow Leopard?

    How can the symbol and non-English diacritical marking/punctuation pallet, available in pre-Snow Leopard OSes with various combinations of letter or number keys and functional keys, be accessed in Snow Leopard?  Those pre-Snow Leopard versions worked on the fly as one was making text in any pedestrian application and its native font (Mail, Text Edit, for example).  One didn't need to dig around in font libraries, change font preferences, etc.

    > One didn't need to dig around in font libraries, change font
    > preferences, etc.
    It hasn't worked like that since the Early Chalcolithic (ie, System 7 or thereabouts).
    You've already got plenty of answers. Briefly (and grossly oversimplified),
    - Mac OS X conforms to a standard known as Unicode; in its current incarnation, it defines over 100k characters.
    - A keypress is translated into a character according to the current keyboard layout.
    - The graphic representation of a character (ie, glyph), is provided by the current font.
    - If a font lacks a glyph for the requested character, either another font will be automatically chosen (Mac OS X text engine), or some form of feedback (empty box, question mark, etc) will be used.
    - To inspect the actual key codes, use a utility such as Key Codes.
    - To inspect the current keyboard layout, invoke Keyboard Viewer.
    - To inspect the full complement of glyphs of a font, invoke Character Viewer (also accessed with the Special Characters command).
    (Remember that both these utilities are resizable and zoomable -- you can enlarge them to a comfortable viewing size, then zoom out to see more of the screen for your original task.)
    - For a more detailed look, use a utility such as UnicodeChecker.
    - The default keyboard layout depends on your Mac OS X localisation.
    (Keep in mind that there's no need to stick with the default layout; choose whichever one makes sense to you, given your language, habits, and proclivities. Mac OS X comes bundled with quite a few, including some obviously designed for the huddled masses of refugees from the Dark Side, who, in their wretched ignorance, have the unmitigated gall of labelling our native ways "really uncomfortable". Oh well, this, too, shall pass.
    If none of the supplied keyboard layouts fits your needs -- if, for instance, you write your emails in Etruscan -- go out on the 'net, you'll find quite a few. Or write your own with Ukulele, it's not really all that difficult.)
    - Use Keyboard Viewer to familiarise yourself with the current layout and to enter the odd character; but, to be proficient, you should learn your layout to the point that KV is no longer needed.
    - Use Character Viewer to enter the odd character not available in the current keyboard layout.
    Neither Keyboard Viewer nor Character Viewer are effective tools for more extensive needs, eg, for writing and editing bilingual or multilingual texts. In such a case, you should enable the respective keyboard layouts and switch between them with a keyboard shortcut.
    A few interesting layouts bundled with Mac OS X have already been mentioned. Let me add three.
    - Dvorak: several layouts based on the Dvorak keyboard. It is claimed that the latter is more productive and lessens RSI risk.
    - US Extended: based on QWERTY, it offers a more extensive set of diacritics (eg, caron, breve) via dead keys.
    - Unicode Hex Input: also based QWERTY, it allows input by Unicode codepoint (in hexadecimal), so it's the most extensive layout of all; eg, to enter the character "Parenthesized Number Twelve" (U+247F), hold down Option, type "247f", release Option.

  • I am getting emails in a foreign (non-english) language?

    I am receiving emails in a non-english language. I guess I must have pressed something during installation and/or startup. This is not a wish to choose a language to open web pages with it is the language with which Mozilla is attempting to communicate with me.

    This is not my problem; the emails are from Mozilla.
    I tried the previous suggestion and it looks like its going to work but at the end it pops up a screen that says "How Embarrassing". I says the problem could be caused by an open web sight or to set up a completely new session, which doesn't work either.

    thanks
    siva

    Thank you, Dan.
    Sorry, what I meant by "non-existent" is not quite
    straightforward. Let me explain this way:
    I observed the problem only occurred to emails of our
    company. For instance: our company's email address ends with
    @abc.com.
    my email address: [email protected]
    my previous colleague's address: [email protected] (he's gone and
    the email is invalid / deactivated now)
    my client's email: [email protected] (used to be valid)
    If I code this way:
    <cfmail to="[email protected]" failto="[email protected]"...>
    "failto" does work and I got the email.
    but if these:
    <cfmail to="[email protected]" failto="[email protected]"...>
    <cfmail to="[email protected];[email protected]"
    failto="[email protected]"...>
    I never got emails reporting the failure but error lines in
    the mail log and the exceptions log which read:
    "Error","scheduler-3","01/28/09","11:55:32",,"Invalid
    Addresses"
    "Error","scheduler-3","01/28/09","11:55:32",,"Invalid
