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 can I add a "junk mail" mailbox?

How can I add a "junk mail" mailbox, or any other mailbox to my email?

If you have an IMAP email account then you can create additional folders by logging into your email account on a browser and creating them there - they should then appear in the Mail. If you have a POP email account then you're stuck with the folders that you've got.

Junk mail filtering can be turned off by going to the Mail menu > Preferences > Junk Mail pane and unchecking the box Enable junk mail filtering. See this article -

How can I empty the Junk mail folder in Yahoo without opening the messages?

How can I empty the Junk Mail folder in Yahoo without opening the messages?

You can swipe across them on the left and delete them unread. Unfortunately there is no 'delete all' option in mail.
Or you can just ignore them on your iPad and empty the junk folder when/if you access your mail online.

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.

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?

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 to get rid of junk mail in POP account

Dear all,
I have a POP account which on my iMac/Macbook Pro perfectly weeds out almost all junk/spam. On my iPhone 4 however there is no junk mailbox so all junk goes in my Inbox with a ratio of 60 junk : 1 real mail message. Anyone?
Really looking forward to some briljant tips!
Cheers,
Michiel

With an email account/address that is so severly compromised, you may want to consider a new email account and address preferably an IMAP account for a number of reasons.
A 60 junk to one real email message ratio means you have inadvertently contributed to the problem and the email account provider has no spam filter at the server. Rendering any HTML included with spam/junk confirms that your email address is "known good" with the spammer that sent the message causing more spam/junk to be received. Clicking on any links included with a spam/junk message does the same. Providing your email address publicly for any reason also does the same. Spammers sell/trade their "known good" email address lists to other low-life spammers causing an endless cycle. Once the cat is that far out of the bag with an email address, there is no turning back. The iPhone's Mail app does not have a junk mail filter and may never have one, which wouldn't match the junk mail filter with the Mail app on your Mac anyway.
Get a new email address from an email account provider that supports IMAP access. Use the new email address to exchange email with family and friends ONLY. Use your existing severely compromised email address for online purchases and to be provided publicly. Never provide your new email address publicly for any reason. An IMAP account is specifically designed to be accessed with more than one email client with all server stored mailboxes kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account. A POP account is from the early dark ages of email account access with an email client when most people had access to a single computer only and well before there were handheld cell phones and especially smart phones. A POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only.

Spam or junk mail

Hi,
How can i get rid of my junk mail coming to both my iMAC and Iphone mailbox? is there any efficient software?
Thanks.
Amine

On the iMac you can mark mail as junk in Mail.app and the program will learn precisely what you think is junk. On the iPhone, you are out of luck. In spite of complaints for 5 years to put the junk mail handling features of Mail.app in the iPhone Mail program, Apple has not been able to get it to work.

How can I migrate my junk-mail settings from one Mac to another?

I would like to move my junk mail settings from one Mac to another. I found this article (https://kb.siteground.com/how_to_synchronize_the_junk_email_settings_in_mac_mail /), but can't locate the file indicated in the article, so I suspect that the article is out of date (though it's not dated).
Both machines - MacOS 10.9.5; Mail 7.3.
Any insights much appreciated!
Best,
Doug

Make your user library visible and see if you can find it.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library.

TS3276 how do i filter out junk mail on macbook pro

is there a way to filter the junk mail i recieve

You can add rules to apply to incoming messages - for example, I throw everything from senders that are not in my address book into the Junk mailbox. From there, I can easily scan the senders and subject lines to see if the message might be something I do want to look at, and the rest I toss - junk mail can be erased without looking at it.

You want junk mail? The filters that prevent you from getting junk mail are set in your preferences by whatever filters your email provider has available for you to set. You set those preferences in your webmail Settings not on the iPad.
