How to get mail app to search junk mail?

Is it normal behavior for the search function in mail to exclude junk mail? One of the main reasons I might search for a message is to check whether something I was expecting got sent to junk or not.
Or to put it more simply: Is there a way to include the junk folder in searches?

  • Mail App and Hotmail Junk Mail

    Hello,
    I've been trying to find the quickest way to delete the junk mail from my hotmail junk mail. I tried selecting all and deleting and I'll get an error message that says it can't delete, then I tried to mark all as read first, and then deleting all and this didn't work. If I delete one by one it works, but takes too long since 100+ emails go to it almost daily. I right tapped on the folder and didn't see much there. I checked Mail preferences also. Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated -- thank you 

    Hi Eric, I've been applying rules on a daily basis, and I'm still getting about 25-30 per day and a portion of these coming from the same offender. I've been following your instructions from your screen shot to a Tee and the emails still keep pouring in. One of the email addresses ([email protected]) keeps coming through and I've blocked and created rules for those daily as well as the others also. How do they do this? I see they have plenty of sneaky tricks up their sleeve - Is creating Rules the only solution, or is there something more effective to do about this? Whoever they are, they are many steps above us, and I can't figure it out. To do this every day is lots of extra work, but less work than deleting them one by one (also, I tried to delete by selecting ALL in one sweep, and this didn't work). I was wondering, what happens if I don't do anything and let them accumulate into the thousands and beyond, does it matter, and would this slow things down in the mail app? At least it goes in the junk mail folder and bulk mail folder instead of in my in box. Any other tips and suggestions you may have would be much appreciated!

  • Junk mail arrives in iPhone 5s mail app but not MBP mail app

    This is a strange observation and I am wondering if others have experienced this...
    My iPhone is a 5s running iOS v7.1.  When I access my email accounts via my iPhone each day, I am greeted with a slew of junk mail on a daily basis (typically Monday thru Friday).  Not a new thing right?  However, when I access those same email accounts from my MacBook Pro I never receive any junk mail (typically Saturday and Sunday).  In fact, junk mail never even appears in my Junk folder on the MBP.  Now, during the week when I do receive the junk mail on my iPhone, I wait until I return home and open the mail app on my MBP whereupon all of the junk mail received on my iPhone NOW shows up in Mail on my MBP THEN automatically moves into the junk folder.  So, my suspicion is that spammers have now determined how to identify mail access between devices (iPhone vs. MBP).  I am guessing they may be capitalizing the the inability of the iPhone mail app to filter junk mail.
    Am I imagining this or has anyone else experienced this scenario?  Many thanks.

    Hello rayalamx
    If the Mail app is not opening, then I would remove the email accounts. Open mail to see if that resolves the issue and then start adding the accounts back in.

    Thank you Carolyn, How helpless you can feel without this App!
    Going into the App Store as you suggest, I see 'thee updates available", the first says, 'X RESTART', the second says, 'Garage Band, an error has occurred" (in red), and the third 'Memory Clean, UPDATE'.
    Am I correct in thinking that OSX is the problem, because it is waiting for a restart?
    Kind regards,

  • 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.

  • Can someone tell me how to get my apps that are on my ipad to appear on my TV using Apple Tv

    Can someone tell me how to get my apps that are on my IPad to be viewed on my Apple TV?

    Welcome to the Apple Community Coachcad.
    Basic AirPlay: Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
    Mirroring: When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), swipe from the bottom of the screen, tap the AirPlay icon and choose your Apple TV from the list of devices (iOS 7 or better) or double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices (pre-iOS7)

    The guy at the Genius Bar has told you absolute and utter rubbish.  It is true that Apple has stopped supporting iWeb, but it definitely DOES NOT mean that your website will stop working any time soon. 
    They should know that iWeb is an application on your Mac and as long as it is compatible with your OS - it works in Snow Leopard and Lion and will be compatible with the new Mountain Lion out this Summer, then you can still use it to build and maintain websites.
    As long as your are not publishing your site to MobileMe, then you are okay - if you are publishing to a local folder and then uploading to another host that is fine and your site will not be going anywhere in a hurry.
    You don't need to change software unless you really want to.

  • My Itunes account is on my dad's user. I downloaded Itunes on my user, and I am wondering how to get the apps I downloaded on my dad's user, on mine? Sorry if the question is confusing.

    Our computer has users that you click to log on. My itunes thingy is on my Dad's and I downloaded Itunes on my user, and i am wondering how to get the apps I downloaded on my  dad's itunes, to mine. Thanks for any help.

    iPads sync to 1 computer only.
    All media and apps are tied to the Apple ID that purchased them.
    Without your relatives ID and password, you cannot update any of the Apps.
    I am pretty certain he is also violating Apples terms of service by giving you the apps.

    You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.

    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

  • How to get online apps to work with the Verizon DSL modem firewall set at "Medium" level, not "Low?"

    How to get online apps to work with the Verizon DSL modem firewall set at “Medium” level? Xbox 360 Live, FTP, and the Windows sntp Time checker native to Windows XP WON’T WORK unless the Verizon firewall is first reset down to “Low.” Then all works well, but I then risk low firewall protection. Setup: · Westell 6100 DSL modem (Software Version: VER:4.04.03.00 Transceiver Revision: 7.2.3.0 Model Name: C90-610015-06), · D-Link DIR-655 wireless router (Hardware Version: A3, Firmware Version: 1.21), For Xbox 360 Live the “canned” port forwarding rule for provided in Verizon’s drop-down list for the Westell 6100 modem forwards ports 88 and 3074 for both TCP and UDP. This does not meet Microsoft’s forwarding recommendations for Xbox 360 Live stated at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/908874. Instead, for the Verizon modem (Westell) I made a new port forwarding rule to comply with those Microsoft instructions. It forwards ports 53, 80 and 3074 for TCP and ports 53, 88 and 3074 for UDP. These same ports are also forwarded in the D-Link router configuration. For FTP, port 21 is also forwarded for TCP and UDP in both modem and router. But they don’t work until I first cripple the Verizon firewall down to “Low.” How to get them to work with the Verizon firewall up to Medium?

    While I do not know the answer to your question, BUT since you have this modem and another router - you could just follow.
