Iphone Email Spam!!!

Iphone Email Spam... How do I filter the spam? My yahoo account filters the spam, but the Iphone does not!!

How you are accessing your Yahoo account on your computer is called webmail access using a browser with IE which also indicates Yahoo is doing the SPAM filtering at the incoming mail server for your account which should be the same when accessing the account with the iPhone's email client.
The iPhone's email client which is similar to using Outlook Express or Outlook on your computer if you used either one but is on a more limited scale does not include a SPAM filter. You may want to contact Yahoo technical support regarding why the SPAM filtering they are doing at the incoming mail server when accessing the account via webmail when using IE is not applied when the iPhone's email client checks the account for new messages before messages are downloaded from the incoming mail server.

Unhappy with OS X Server handling of email spam

I'm unhappy with the way that OS X Server (on Mountain Lion) handles email spam.
What I *want* is to be able to set some SpamAssassin rules, and then to have the mail server refuse spam emails (not accept and put into Junk, but refuse to accept them in the first place). I used to do this with Exim and the sa-exim tool. In 10.7 I decided to switch to the built-in mail server, but that doesn't offer this functionality.
I would settle with being able to set some SpamAssassin rules and then have the server filter junk email into my Junk folder. 10.7 Server used to do this; I had to enable webmail and turn on the setting in there, and it would configure Pigeonhole (a Dovecot plugin) to put spam into the Junk folder. 10.8 server no longer offers webmail and no longer comes with Pigeonhole. I can add it myself with MacPorts, but I don't understand how to configure it on OS X Server.
So I have to settle for my OS X Server delivering all junk emails to my inbox, where then I have to delete them one-by-one on my iPhone. I could leave a Mac on at home all day to do the spam filtering, but that just seems silly.
If anyone could tell me how to set up Pigeonhole on OS X Server (10.8) to put my spam into a folder - or even how to set up Postfix to refuse spam in the first place - I would be very, very happy.

The issue you've run into is that postfix uses amavisd as its post queue (I.e. received and accepted by smtp) filter.
If you don't want to set server-side rules ( easiest way is still webmail / Managesieve plugin) to auto move junk mail into a junk folder because of security concerns, then there are other options.
Most of the logic for spam checking is done by amavis. It calls as subprocessess spamassassin and clam av.
Changes you make in spamassassin conf are used by spamassassin but amavisd may overrule spamassassin.
So your options are:
1. Make webmail a local intranet access only - I.e. use a custom port 8xxx and don't open that to the Internet via your router or firewall rules.
2. Quarantine spam to a new mailbox so it doesn't get delivered to the user.
I haven't done this but, if you have a look at http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/IntegratedInPostfixWithAmavis ,
It has some instructions on how to adjust the amavisd conf ( path to server/mail/config/amavisd/amavisd.conf ) , set up a new mailbox and quarantine the spam to there. This saves you having to set up webmail /Managesieve plugin, and means that you don't lose any mail incorrectly classified, although you will need to clean it out from time to time.
If you have a lot of users, number 1. Is a better fit for an administrator because the user can manage their own spam.
At the moment I'm grappling with how to get the child-process spamassassin to look up user-managed auto white lists and prefs set through webmail sauserprefs plugin. Still a work in progress.......
Hope that helps.

Junk email/spam iphone5

How can I filter junk email / spam from coming into my inbox on my iPhone5?

You will have to do that through your mail service provider. The iPhone does not provide any additional features to filter email.

I need it to be me (Karen), not one of my random contacts. not sure how it even happened.

Hi karen elizabeth I,
I understand that you want to change the full name associated with your email account in Mail on OS X. Here is an article that will help you find this setting and adjust it:
Mail settings you might need from your email provider - Apple Support

This setting can be found by going to your Mail Preferences, then the Accounts tab, then selecting your account. Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

Image in an iPhone email signature?

Is there a way to include a logo in an iPhone email signature?

Hi, all.
I've read you comments; and, here is the solution that works for me.
Prerequisites: Gmail Account, Laptop or Desktop, and access to the Internet.
1) Upload the picture (JPEG) you want to put in your iPhone email signature.
(You can upload the picture to your Twitter account, BLOGs, Flikr, or whatever website.)
2) Go on the internet, and search for the picture you loaded to your website, as listed in Step 1.
3) Click or visit that image from your search tool (e.g., Google or Yahoo!).
4) When you click on your image, you will get a URL of your image in your address field of your internet browser (e.g., Safari).
5) Copy that URL.
6) Sign into your Gmail account, click settings, and get to your email signature box.
7) Type in your signature text (e.g., name and contact information -- whatever text you want in your signature).
8) Click on the Insert Image icon in the menu bar in the signature field box.
9) Paste your link in the URL field; if the link is correct, your image will show up.
10) Click enter after your image shows.
11) Click the Save button for your email signature field box.
12) Compose an email and send it to yourself.
(In your Gmail, you will see your signature in the body of your email.)
13) Access the email you sent to yourself, via your iPhone.
14) Copy the selected signature from your email that you sent to yourself.
15) Access the iPhone email signature page on your iPhone.
16) Paste the signature, which includes your JPEG image.
17) Shake your iPhone -- you will get a box that says, Undo Attributes. Click Yes or Okay to undo attributes.
18) Exit out of the iPhone email signature page.
When you access your iPhone email to compose an email, you will see your signature, containing your image.
This process works for me: iPhone 6 Plus iOS 8.1.
My signature still shows after one hour and 10 emails, which includes, sent, forward, and replies.
Good Luck. Ping me if you have questions.

English definitions of Japanese words in iPhone email

I sometimes receive email messages written in Japanese (even though my native langauge is American English and that is the language to which I set my iPhone). I read some Japanese, but need to look up many of the words in these email messages. It used to be the case that if I selected a Japanese word in an email message and then chose the "define" option the built in dictionary would show me the definition in both English and Japanese. After upgrading to iOS 6 that functionality was reduced and "define" now only shows the definition in Japanese. Often that definition has other words I don't know, and as a result it's not helpful in ultimately understanding the word I'm looking up. How can I change this feature back to the way it was in earlier versions of iOS so that choosing "define" for a Japanese word in an iPhone email message provides the definition in both English and Japanese?

I think it is gone. Tell Apple what you want via

IPhone email language support

I had setup the iphone email with gmail, and other pop account. But I find out that they don't displace other language. I had received email from Hong Kong, they wrote it in chinese. iPhone email does not display it. If I use Safari to view the email, it display fine. Is there a fix out there?

I don't think there is any fix, so you may need to continue using Safari. I believe iPhone should display it correctly as long as the mail contains the proper required "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=" header. If you have a way of viewing this header via another means, it would be interesting to know what it says for the undisplayed email. It would make sense to report this to Apple
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
with a much detail as possible about the emails which are not displaying, especially what kind of program was used to send them.
Unfortunately some mail systems do not create the required headers correctly, and this version of the iPhone lacks any way to fix that manually.

How do I attach a logo to my ipad and iphone email signature?

Not in the stock mail app, not a feature. Look in the app store for an app that will do this.

Excessive Email Spam

I have been receiveing excessive spam email today that is not being filtered out by the verizon email spam filter. Has anyone else noticed this? The spam filter was previously working.
Ed

I have also seen a lot more SPAM the last few days than I am used to. I suspect the issue is tied to an intermittent failure of one or more of Verizon SMTP and POP servers. Both problems appeared at the same time. There is another thread on this board about Verizon email being broken.
I would hesitate to use the word broken, let's just say unreliable. The POP/SMTP servers seem to go up and down like a yo-yo, and talking to Verizon Customer Service is like talking to a brick wall. The only thing they can do is play with your computer. The possibility that it is actually a Verizon problem is beyond their comprehension.
If the www.verizon.net says it is unavailable, and my email client says it is getting a status of ' service temporarily unavailable', I seriously doubt that changing anything on my computer will have any effect, since www.verizon.net is interacting directly with the pop servers without my computer being involved in the conversation.
anyway I suspect that when they get the server issues fixed, the SPAM filter will also begin working reliably again.

Help please - iPhone email badge won't update

There are many posts, but no solutions. The small, red circle badge on my iPhone that displays the number of unread emails REMAINS despite having read ALL emails on my Mac. The badge ALWAYS indicates that there are several unread emails until I open my iPhone email app, and sit there passively until the app updates itself and removes the badge.
My email account is iCloud (@icloud.com, @mac.com) I have mail on my iPhone set to sync via iCloud, I have "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" "Fetch New Data" set to "Push", and I have iCloud backup set to "on". My unique arrangement makes this perpetual unread badge especially disruptive. I'm begging for a solution, however creative.
Thank you!
Doug

Sounds extreme, and I'm worried about the effect on many other iCloud apps. This seems to be a notorious problem. Take a peak at this thread:

IPhone Email Signature Panel Unable to View Free Text Panel!

Does anyone know how to see or scroll up or down on the iPhone 4 Email Signature panel?
Background: I have a long signature for my iPhone email, however, when I went to edit it, the panel will not display anything other than the last line. It will not let me scroll up further to make edits. Quite clearly this is an application glitch which needs to be sorted by Apple.
Any clues on whether Apple are looking to fix - I would be grateful.
Thanks kindly.
AndyAl

Okay came across this solution by accident:
Go to the signature screen where you can only see the last line. Lock the phone using the button on the top of the phone, Then unlock and you should see the panel where you can now edit your signature.
