Ical alarms-junk mail

I set email alarms using Ical. They always show up as junk mail even though the sender(myself) is in my address book. Any ideas? Thanks.

Thanks -
That address is indeed in my address book under my entry as the home address. Another, which is my work email address also goes to junk when I use it for alarms. I do have filter set to exclude addresses in my address book. I'm not sure how to set my card to "My Card" - could you elaborate? The entry in address book has a person icon rather than a card and there is a small "me" in the corner of my address book thumbnail pic, so I'm guessing this setting is also correct.
Thanks again

Ical reminders-junk mail

I set an ical event to alarm-email. It sends the email, but it always shows up as junk mail. I'm using the mail ver 3.3. Why would a message sent from your own calendar show as junk mail? Thanks.

The filters say that anyone in my address book should not be listed as junk. My own email is in my address book, and that is the what I'm using to send the reminder. So I still don't understand why these reminders end up in junk mail. I have clicked on the "not junk" tab but that hasn't worked. Thanks anyway for the reply.

Junk Mail from Ical?

I set up email reminders in ical. These reminders always show in the mail program as "junk". I did check the junk mail filters. These reminders are being sent from someone in my address book (me). I also click "not junk" on the message. But my own calendar reminders still show up as junk mail. What is wrong with this program?

I am having the exact same issue.
I have Reset Junk filtering and have it set to 'Move it to the Junk Mailbox'. Mail still treats email reminders from myself, as junk.
Anyone have any suggestions how to fix this? Alarms/Reminders that you don't get to see are pretty useless.

HT2488 How do I create an iCal Alarm to delay send an e-mail in my Drafts folder of Mail?

I've learned how to use iCal Alarm to schedule sending an e-mail. However, all of the instructions I read say that I have to type the e-mail inside the automator's "New Mail Message". Is there a way to type the message in Mail, save it in drafts, and then create an iCal Alarm to schedule sending it?
I got as far as "Get Specified Mail Items" --> "Display Mail Messages". This sequence displayed a message in Drafts. What next to get it to send that message it displayed? I tried adding "Send Outgoing Message" to the sequence with no success. And I tried adding "New Mail Message" --> "Send Outgoing Message" to the sequence with no success.
Sometimes there will be several e-mails I want to delay send (some that I started earlier in the day, saved in Drafts and finished up in the wee hours of the morning) and it seems a waste to have to create a new iCal Alarm for each.
Thank you!

Mail not recieving ical alarms from gmail

the only emails that mail does not retrieve from my gmail account are ones that i have sent to myself from mail as well as email alarms sent from ical. would like to recieve the ical alarms! please help

Nate,
Welcome to the Discussions.
A peculiarity of POP access with Gmail, is that you cannot send, with the gmail account, a message to yourself, and then have it download.
A Gmail account is a bit odd in its behavior. It is primarily designed to be used with web access, but does allow POP access. The server assumes that for POP access you only need to see what you have NOT read, and further assumes that downloading is the same as have read a message, and the same with a message from yourself. Because of this, you will not download message sent from someone else, on but one computer, without some manual intervention.

Mail marks iCal email notifications as junk mail

I suppose this could be an iCal problem or a Mail problem, but email notifications that come from iCal are marked as junk mail every time. Yes, I have "Sender of message is in my Address Book" checked off in Mail preferences, and my address is listed in Address Book. If I send an email from me to me via Mail it is not marked as junk, but from iCal it is always marked as junk. I found posts about this going back many years, surely there would be a resolution by now?

Hey there,
I had the same issue and was able to find the answer in another discussion.
You just need to highlight the card in Address Book and then choose "Make This My Card" in the "Card" menu.
Best,
Tom

Junk mail appears in iCal

I was very surprised when I opened my calendar today and found that an event had been posted - and the event must definitely have originated through the mail application. It was one of those endless junk mails offering a job and fast money. What is going on?

Fulltimemom,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Open iCal>Preferences...>Advanced and make sure that "Automatically retrieve invitations from Mail" is unchecked.
Also check Mail>Preferences>General>Add invitations to iCal:>Choose "Never"
;~)

Ical alarm default email is incorrect, how do I change it to match "my card" in address book.

When I create a new event in Ical the default email that appears in the ical alarm drop down menu is incorrect. I have changed My Card in Address Book to match my new email address but ical still wants to use the old email address. I have also completely deleted the old email account from Mail too. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

If you've updated the account to have the correct email email address on the other devices tap on the old id id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and log out of it and then log back in with the updated version of the account so as to 'refresh' the account on them.

Apple's Mail program can't handle junk mail

I've had this machine for almost two months now and I'm STILL having problems with Apple's mail program:
1. It doesn't recognize junk mail. Although I've been in "train" mode for almost two months, it STILL doesn't recognize ANYTHING as junk mail, even things that are obviously junk, and even duplicates of messages already marked as junk.
2. Although I've set my preferences to delete junk mail on exit, the program doesn't delete junk mail. It doesn't matter whether I mark the messages manually as junk and leave them in my inbox, or if I mark the messages as junk and move them to my junk mailbox, or if I just move the messages to the junk mailbox without marking them as junk. The messages sit in the junk mailbox until I delete them manually.
I'm EXTREMELY disappointed with Apple and Apple software and the fact that almost NOTHING works as expected or advertised. I have problems with Mail, Safari and iCal to name just a few...

I am not understanding any of these problems, as Mail marks Junk quite reliably for me (and I think many others). Also, no problems with Safari nor iCal here.
If you have Junk in Training, as you report, then this would explain some of the behavior. While in Training vs Automatic Mail does not create a Junk mailbox in the the account folder, and thus the setting to delete messages from the Junk mailbox would not do anything. If you have yourself created a mailbox named Junk, Mail would not use it for its own purposes.
I think there are a number of misunderstandings on your part (Junk filtering with Mail's own procedure vs manually created Rules for one), and thus I cannot easily tell what may do the most good to correct things.
More info, please.

ICal alarm won't go away

I'm having a strange problem with alarms in Mail. I created an alarm on a calendar over a year ago. The event hasn't happened for a year. My problem is that it shows up endlessly in Drafts in iCal. I deleted the whole calendar in iCal yesterday, but it still exists in Mail.
Any ideas on how to get rid of it?

baronpilot,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Nothing so far has worked.
Could you clarify your troubleshooting steps...what have you tried so far?
In the meantime since I do not know what you have tried:
The first and easiest troubleshooting step involves replacing/refreshing the com.apple.iCal.plist file.
Quit iCal and find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Drag the file to your Desktop, log out/in or restart and check iCal for normal behavior.

Junk Mail filters

I have been having a problem with the Junk mail filters in Mail. When I send myself an e-mail, such as when an iCal event reminder is in the form of an e-mail, the message gets pushed into my junk mail folder. Every time it has happened, I click on the "Not Junk" button, but the next time I send one, it goes into the Junk folder again. This happened with OS 10.4, and I thought the upgrade to 10.5 would fix it, but it's still happening.
Has anyone else had this experience? If so, did you find a solution to the problem?
Thanks
Kevin

if so, I'd love to hear it as well. I made a big effort to convert my old email life from my pc to the new mac, and figured imail would serve me. Small as it is, this unreliable junk filter may force me to switch again. I hate that.

Not receiving iCal alarm

My iCal alarms are being sent (I can see them in my sent folder in Mail), and they are showing up in my gmail account online. However, they aren't showing up in my inbox in Mail, and I'm not having trouble receiving any other emails.
What could be the problem?
Thanks.

Figured it out. Relaying was my problem. We have an internal SMTP

Junk mail just does not work as it should

I've had this for ages and just put up with it.
I have my jumk mail settings set for
Enable: the following types of messages are exempt from junk mail filtering: sender of message is in my address book (and in previouos recipients).
I assume that this means that anyone sending a message who is in my address book will not then appear as junk. This does not happen and despite repeated attempts to assign each one as not being junk it never learns as I thnk it is supposed to. A very few of my incoming messages of people who are in my address book do not appear as junk but I can't see a pattern.
Over time I have tried all kinds of ways to set the various settings but to no avail and now I really think that I should try and sort it as it is low grade annoying. I would appreciate any help anoyne could give.

hey are you still having trouble with your ical publishing? it looks like it needs more testing...but try this format of the web address.
http://ical.me.com/USERNAME/CALENDARNAME
It looks like iCal hasn't updated when you updated your operating system if it's still writing to a .mac address like you suspected. The most recent version is 4.0.1. If you need to update your actual application you can try copying from another computer with snow leopard installed (I've tested this), or reinstalling Snow Leopard. (not a fun option for such a small issue I know)

ICal alarms aren't reliable

Since getting my new iMac (and even after upgrading to the new OS), my iCal alarms don't always go off. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason for why this is or which events the alarms go off for and which events the alarms never happen for.
I have one alarm set to go off every day at 10:45 am. Until yesterday it was fine. Now it hasn't gone off for two days in a row. (This alarm was rock solid when I was using a G4. Then I got a new Mac, synced everything, and it worked fine for months afterward. Then, yesterday, all of a sudden, no alarm. Again this morning, no alarm.)
When I set my alarms and appointments for the upcoming week, again, some work, some don't. I've triple checked the settings and I don't think I'm doing anything wrong when setting the alarms.
I live by iCal and really need this fixed. Help!

My experience has been a little different. When I upgraded from Tiger to Leopard 10.5 email notifications of events I had scheduled in iCal ceased to work. (Alert messages to the screen with sound still happened.) Then the 10.5.1 update seemed to fix the emailing notification problem.
But for some reason, recently the email notifications have become unreliable again. I set up a test event yesterday and never got notified. Then today a regularly scheduled (recurring) event came due and it did send an email which seemed to trigger the missing email from yesterday as well.
And unlike the situation when running 10.5, sometimes the event will cause the Mail app to open but not send the email. In 10.5 the Mail app never responded in any fashion.
Later... Since writing the above I have read other threads on this and the following has some interesting thoughts:

Client doesn't activate junk mail handling

Hi All
This started in the GWIA forum, but there we found out that this was not the GWIA not doing things correctly.
I have a spam filter set up in front of the GWIA (ScrollOut F1).
That together with GWIA tags mails as spam, but when it arrives in the client the properties shows
Junk Mail Handling Evaluation Results
Message is eligible for Junk Mail handling
x-spam-flag was set for this message
So it seems that the GWIA does it correctly, and marks the mail.
Then below I see this:
Junk Mail settings when this message was delivered
Junk Mail handling disabled by User
Junk List is not enabled
Junk Mail using personal address books is not enabled
Junk iCal Mail using personal address books is not enabled
Block List is not enabled
If I look in the Administration Console Client Options I see this:
Enable Junk Mail Handling (X)
Enable Junk Mail using Junk Mail Lists ( )
Enable Junk Mail using Personal Address Book ( )
Enable Junk Calendaring using Personal Address Book ( )
Auto-Delete after: (31) days (X)
Enable Blocked Mail using Block Mail Lists ( )
The client is version 14.0.1 13-11-2014. PO GroupWise Agent Build Version 14.0.1 -118418, GroupWise Agent Build Date 11-12-14, GroupWise Resource Build Date 04-07-14.
I've also tried locking the settings on domain and on user in client settings, but that didn't help.

Hi,
Are you in a position to open a Service Request with Novell Technical Support?
I have picked up that this "bug" has been reported previously to Novell, but I can't see the details of it. I'm going to ask around in the backrooms to see if I can get this tested for you. I'll let you know if I get any information back from the kind folk that I'm asking.
In the interim, test with "Enable Junk Mail using Junk Mail Lists" and see if it makes any difference. I know that in the GWIA thread I asked you to turn this off, but I was just testing something.
Keep us up to date with your testing progress.
Cheers,

Ical alarms-junk mail
