IPhone won't filter junk mail

Hello:
My MacBook has learned what email is junk and what isn't, mostly, but my iPhone won't distinguish -- even after I have repeatedly moved said mail to the Junk folder. Is there a training step I've missed, or can't the iPhone be "taught" this maneuver? Apologies if this topic is already covered.

One thing that might help.
The iphone does not have any type of junk mail filter.
In order to filter the mail on the iphone, you would need to set the filter preferences on the email server.
Most email servers have the ability to log into your account online and set email filters.
If you would like to leave feedback, this link might help out.

  • How to filter junk mail in icloud (pc) webmail?

    Hello,
    I receive e-mails marked as junk. Does icloud filter junk mail?

    Aha.   I reset the junk mail under Mail->Preferences->Junk Mail,  and the behavior changed.  Now the menu item and toolbar button act as toggles, whereas they did not before the reset.
    BUT:  junk mail handling gives us a choice between a)  moving junk mail to the junk mailbox  or b)  marking it as junk but leaving it in the inbox.   Now I don't see a way to make it do both,  even through the custom handling option.  
    Why do I want it to do both?   I want to make sure the the filter is learning what I think  is junk and what I think is is not, and I want the junk out of the way.

  • IPhone won't send outgoing mail since upgrade to 5.0

    iPhone won't send outgoing mail since upgrade to 5.0

    I would manually go over each smtp setting and compare it with the mail providers guide
    and if they were 100% the same then I would
    get in touch with the phone company to verify if they were blocking the ports being
    used by the mail service
    there is no general issue with ios5 removing out going mail services or blocking ports

  • IPhone, .Mac IMAP, and Junk Mail!

    I have seen lots of posts regarding this, but no definite answers. It seems like a lot of people are wondering if there is a way to deal with this issue...
    The .Mac email does a fine job of filtering junk mail. When I check it through the mac.com website or on my MBP everything is fine. However my iPhone constantly recieves the junk emails and they are not removed until checked by one of the previous two methods.
    Is there a way to prevent the junk mail from being sent to the iPhone besides leaving my computer on all day and forcing the hard drive to stay on which is the most asinine idea I have ever heard of?
    p.s. I'm not talking about junk mail getting sent to the "junk" folder under .Mac on the iPhone. I'm talking about it getting sent straight to the inbox. I know that you can uncheck the "keep junk mail stored on server" setting to stop it from but getting sent to the junk folder on the iphone but I don't care about that. I want messages that .Mac would filter out when I check them on the mac.com to not be sent to my iPhone only being deleted AFTER I log into mail.mac.com
    In other words are we stuck with .Mac only running junk filter when the website is connected?
    Thanks!

    I have a junk mail folder under my .Mac account on my iPhone. If you enable Junk mail filtering on your .mac account on the website and also have selected move it to the junk folder then .mac will create a junk folder which like any other folder is IMAP, meaning it will show up in your iphone.
    My problem is that junk mail that .mac on the website knows is junk gets sent to my inbox on my iphone. Once I go in and check my mail from the website it dumps all the junk mail. If I then go back to my iphone and refresh the inbox of course all of the junk mail will now be gone. But this is not how it should be. If .mac has a junk filter in place at the server it should run without having to open mail.mac.com.

  • Iphone won't synch e-mail addresses from address book

    Strangest thing- My e-mail addresses in my address book are listed on my computer, but not on my iphone. Even after syncing in itunes under info "all contacts" sync and under advanced replace address book from this computer onto iphone...
    The e-mail addresses show up in address book on my computer, but the same exact contact is missing the e-mail address on the iphone... makes it annoying to write e-mails...
    Message was edited by: luxlady

    Couple things I advise
    1. Launch Address Book - Go to File - Export - Address Book Archive - Save to where you can find it
    This will backup Address Book
    2. If possible wipe out all contacts from the iPhone and Sync it over fresh, If this takes to much time then move down to option 3
    3. Before going further. Take the backup file you made earlier burn it to a disk or something for safe keeping. But keep the file where u can access it when needed.
    Now delete all contacts from Address Book, Now in iTunes go to Advanced and tell it to Sync contacts. This should Wipe out iPhone with blank data as there is now no data in AB.
    4. Now take the backup file you made earlier. Double click and restore database. All contacts will return. Now Sync to iPhone.
    If none of this works you may need to restore iPhone as a new iPhone and do a fresh sync.

  • Mail won't erase junk mail

    In my account preferences, under "mailbox behaviors" I set it to erase junkmail after one day. But it never erases junkmail. I have to do it manually every time. Any suggestions?
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Re-reading your first post, it looks like you have no problems manually deleting those messages, so this might be a preferences corruption issue.
    Verify/repair your disk first (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, try this:
    1. Quit Mail if it's running.
    2. Make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is stored.
    3. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences/. Locate com.apple.mail.plist and move it to the Desktop (to be deleted if this fixes the problem).
    You'll have to set up your non-Mac accounts from scratch all over again. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don't. Just enter the account information and Mail will automagically rediscover the data in ~/Library/Mail/ when done.
    You'll also have to re-configure most of your settings in Mail > Preferences. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it's enabled.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the file path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the file path there.

  • IPhone won't connect to mail servers

    Just upgraded to iOS4. Since then, my iPhone will not connect to any of my email accounts. Deleted old accounts and re-created accounts with same issue.
    Any ideas?

    I've been having the same issue since yesterday and can't figure out a fix. Any help is 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.

  • 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 to fix SPAM on iPhone if you use IMAP + Mail.app

    This isn't going to work for everyone, but for me, it works beautifully. I thought I'd share this here in case anyone else is in the same boat
    Summary: Since my G5 is turned on 24/7, I have Michael Rothwell's IMAP-IDLE plug-in installed, and do all of the filtering near real-time in Mail.app. My iPhone is set to check every 15 minutes, and because the junk is filtered instantly at Mail.app, I never see it on the iPhone except in the junk mail folder
    (1) download the imap-idle plugin at http://fivepoundsflax.blogspot.com/
    (2) install into mail.app
    (3) configure spam filtering in mail.app
    (4) leave running 24/7 to filter email on the fly and near real-time

    Or you could try this:
    Delete the account you want to change from POP to IMAP
    Put the iPhone into Flight Mode so that it doesn't automatically set up the POP account.
    Create the new account and enter the settings
    Server incoming and out going: mail.btinternet.com
    Incoming Port: 993 SSL security
    Outgoing Port: 465 SSL security
    Once the IMAP settings are entered remove Flight Mode.
    During the set up process you will probably get a few messages complaining that your iPhone can't connect to your email server.
    Just ignore these

  • Mail server prefiltering of junk mail

    I am wondering if there is an Apple service, software, etc. or another approach offered by a third party that allows a mac user to filter junk mail before it gets to Mail from any email server.
    For example, Yahoo! Mail uses something to filter and conveniently report spam back to Yahoo!. Apple's approach for Mac Mail, I believe, is to use BrightMail on their server, but unlike Yahoo! there is not a quick "click the check box" approach to reporting spam.
    OK -- why not just be happy with using mac.com mail and BrightMail? The answer is -- 1) I have other non-Apple email accounts, and 2) BrightMail, unlike Yahoo! Mail requires extra steps to report spam.
    I am hoping for one or more of the following: 1) I don't know what's going on, 2) there is a third party approach, or 3) Apple provides a new means for prefiltering via a spam-smart site.
    Mac Mini (Intel Core Duo)   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    This happened to me a year or so ago and the only solution I ever found was to delete them all and start over.  Ridiculous.  Why is it happening?

  • Junk Mail: applying custom rules disables junk database

    Using default settings my junk mail filter works most of the time. But there are several persistent streams of spam that never get recognized as junk, and custom rules would identify them easily. But everytime I try, suddenly all the other junk that was being flagged comes through to my in box. I've selected "Trust junk mail headers in messages" and "Filter junk mail before applying my rules" but it has no effect.
    Also, the minute I add custom rules, "Erase Junk Mail" greys out and cannot be selected anymore. I have to first send my junk box to trash, then erase my trash.
    I've read the help files and they don't address this at all. (Same problem in 10.6)

    Don't have 3.0 on my computer but go to the Mail menu and choose Preferences.
    The click on Junk Mail then on Advanced and see what color is chosen in the setting and the conditions under which it is set.

  • What is the correct way to teach leopard server mail about junk mail?

    All my clients are using apple mail and they basically taught their own client each their own way of filter junk mail. This works ok...but after upgrading to Leopard Server I think the server can be trained with junk mail data too? If so, anyone know how to set it up? I only see options to mark mail as junk mail on the server side, nothing about training.

    I have done it on a mac os 10.4 server, it works great. Have a look here

  • Mail's junk mail filtering broken still/again

    When Junk filtering is turned on, Mail does NOT apply all of my rules before it sends items to JUNK. 
    Turned OFF, it *still* sends valid mail, including those with a rule, to my JUNK folder. 
    Horribly annoying.  It's been like this since Lion and is *still* this way in Mountain Lion.

    Morning Markwmsn,
    Filter junk mail before is unchecked.  I want my rules to apply first.
    In my ISP's forums, the question about them filterning/not filtering is an outstanding issue since April, so I doubt it.  When I read my mail on my ISP, the two recurring senders that Mail filters is not filtered.  They correctly show up in my inbox.  Mail seems to be the issue. 
    Snow Leopard Mail did not do anything weird with my incoming mail, nor any OS X before Snow Leopard.  This is the only noticable annoying quirk about Lion and Mountain Lion. 
    Thanks for the response.  I appreciate the time you took to lend a hand. 

  • Junk mail filtering exemptions not working?

    I needed to test e-mail and sent an e-mail to myself. When the e-mail came back, it wound up in the junk folder. I checked preferences, and addresses in my address book are exempt from e-mail filtering. My e-mail address is in my address book. I reset the junk mail filtering criteria and now my e-mails arrive in my inbox. Does anyone know if the exemptions in the preferences for junk mail filtering even work?

    I was having a similar problem...after upgrading I was getting all mail in my Inbox (junk as well as ones that had rules setup to go to other folders). I tried checking "Filter Junk mail before applying my rules", but as I suspected, that just sent most everything to the Junk mailbox. Each of my rules end with "Stop evaluating rules"...I tried taking them out, and that didn't help, so I put them back in. Suddenly, now everything seems to work fine. All of the mail with rules are going to the correct folders and spam is going to the trash.
    In the Junk Tab I have checked: Perform custom actions, sender from my address book and previous are exempt, and trust headers from my ISP. In the advanced area I have if "any" selected, as well as in my address book, previous recipients, and it's junk mail. In the actions I send it to the trash, and stop evaluating rules. I hope this helps some people out there.
