Is there a Spam filter for Mail? In iOS 5?

I haven't seen this question posted for a couple of years, so I'm curious if iOS 4 has addressed my concern. Can Mail for iPod Touch 4th Generation be set up with some sort of spam filter? I have very good filters associated with my various email accounts at their servers (Gmail, GoDaddy, Earthlink) but all of these accounts pass the spam through to my iPod.
Will this be fixed in iOS 5?
And also ... why do some messages not offer the "Trash Can" icon, but only the multiple button option to "Move to>Trash"?
Thanks

No. iOS5 isn't out yet. We don't know what's in it. But likely there isn't.

The Best Spam Filter for Mail

Here is the best smap filter for mail:

I don't know why Apple don't buy that company and include the spam filter on mail, that would be great because spam is getting worst every day, and people than don't buy this type of spam filters need to delete a lot of spam mails every day.

The Junk Mail filter included with the Mail.app has always worked very well for me, and IMO, a good deal of the responsibility for filtering spam in the first place and where it arrives initially, lies with the email account provider for an email account - with adequate filtering performed at the incoming mail server.
This and taking some precautions with an email address shouldn't require having to purchase a spam filter from a 3rd party for the email client used to access an account.

Is there a spam filter for email?

Getting dozens of spam emails on iPad and iPhone each day. Is there a filter available?

Hi everyone
It's been awhile since I last visited. Good to be back. I have a problem with spam on my @me.com account, is there any way to convert this into an @icloud.com account so I can relieve myself of this problem. As we speak I am staring at 996 emails with the vast majority of them being spam(I really hate my brother!). I would hate to lose all my purchased content because of this problem. If Apple would allow me to change my primary Apple ID email account I could resolve it that way as well. On the AppleID site you only get options to add alternate email addresses.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated
Thanks

Can I set up a spam filter for my iPad like I have on my Mac?

Can I set up a spam filter for my iPad like I have on my Mac?

The Mac OS X Mail application has a "Junk" function that works locally, on the Mac, and just puts emails from previously designated "junk" addresses into a separete folder, so you don't have to wade thru all that spam in your Inbox. It's a very elegant and simple, local solution, that I dearly miss on iOS.
I did submit a request for it at Apple Feedback page.

Want to use OSX server as virus/spam filter for existing mail server.

I have communigate pro completely configured and running on an iMac. hundreds of accounts, all working perfectly. The bummer is that the spam/virus filtering of Communigate Pro is weak, and I'd like to try the one built into my Xserve.
Right now I have the domain company.com, with two A records for mail.company.com (the communigate pro server) and xserve.company.com (the xserve). And right now the MX record for company.com points to mail.company.com.
I'd like to switch the MX record for company.com so that it points to xserve.company.com (which I know how to do). The xserve would then reject/delete/catch the spam/viruses and then forward on the remaining "good" messages to mail.company.com. The company.com clients would still get their mail from mail.company.com via Pop/Imap/Webmail.
Any and all help is truly appreciated!!!

imho... you may be over-complicating your system and adding additional points of failure to your architecture if you go this route.
Communigate Pro allows you to run both SpamAssassin 3 and Clamd (the main antivirus/antispamspam tools provided in OSX Server) very easily on your CGPro box.
MPP Free gives you a nice gui for configuring them.

Spam filter for email server

Depends on what you want to pay. There are various ways of doing this.
1. block at your firewall. I have a watchguard and this acts as my first line of defense.
2. Install an app on your mail server - I have Symantic for Exchange as my second line
but then you can go and signup to outside organisations such as messagelabs to handle all your filtering for you.

hi all,
im running postfix+dovecot for an email server and i want a spam filter to go infront of postfix so it can filter out spam before it gets anywhere near my email server
also i imagine with spam filters you can set your own spam policies and allow good senders and block bad senders
many thanks

CAN'T ACCESS SPAM FOLDER FOR MAIL

All of my mail went to the spam fold for the first couple days, I think I got that figured out, but my mail is in a "spam" fold that I can't seem to locate. There are some messages that I need to get to.
If I apple 6 the "junK" fold er isn't acessible.

Make sure your spam filter is set to send email it thinks is spam to a Folder and not to just delete spam. Then you will have the option to check the spam folder.

Sorry I did the "classic" and didn't check before posting. This would be a useful future feature to filter out spam messages.
Thank you.

Need help setting up the Spam Filter in Mail

Hi,
I tried so many times to set up my Spam filter in Mac OS Mail, without any success so far. Basically, I have 2 email accounts in Mail, one of them should only let mails through which have "Webmessage from" in their title. So I added the following rule in the Options (translated from German): 'Subject doesn't contain Webmessage from'. Additionally I also added 'Email is Advertisement' and I used 'fulfilling one of the following rules'. What this does, it it filters EVERYTHING and throws it into the junk. I also tried with other rules, as for example 'Sender is in previous receiver' and 'Email is not adressed to my full name', ... Mail just filter everything, everytime or nothing at all.
Can somebody please help me?

When you set up a mail filter, you can have multiple conditions before an action is taken. So, for example, if you want a rule to apply to one email address, set up the first condition where the 'to' is equal to the email address you want filtered. Click the plus sign next to it, and add the 'subject doesn't contain Webmessge from' condition. Above the 2 conditions, check 'all' of the following conditions. Then under perform the following actions, add two rules, one mark as read, and two move to junk or trash or wherever. That way, since it's marked as read, you never see it in any unread mail counts.

Is there anti-spam software for Ipad2?

I have anti-spam software on my laptop and desk top. But, seemingly, there is no anti-spam software for my iPad and/or iPhone.
Or is there?

You don't need such software, thus none is available.

Spam Filter for iPad?

Is there a way to filter the iPad Mail app for spam?

Selecting an email for deletion is not the equivalent to opening the email.
You can select an email for deletion without opening the email.
You can also turn Load Remote Images off. When remote images are rendered from a server when opening an email is how an email address is determined to be known good by a spammer.

3rd party junk mail filter for Mail?

Does anybody know of one that works? I have been dutifully labeling junk mail as junk, and it just doesn't work. I am so sick of graphic images and lubricious subject lines. Anybody? Does anything exist that really works?

Gmail puts all the spam messages inside a mailbox called spam, I've configured Mail to bind the spam folder in the server to the junk mailbox. Spam messages are download but correctly to junk mailbox.
If I create a filter to move all email to inbox I believe this filter will move spam messages, that cames from gmail already in the right spam folder, to inbox.
The option you suggested is already marked. The problem is that Mail sometimes gives false positives as junk mail and GMail doesn't that is why I want to set Mail to not filter gmail messages.
I belive I was clearer now, let me know if it still confusing.

Felipe Cypriano

SPAM Filter for iPod Touch

I searched and couldn't find the exact same issue...
...I have the latest iPod Touch (version 5.0.1) with an IMAP mail account . At home I use Apple's Mail program, with a great piece of software called SpamSieve that filters the junk that keeps piling up in BIG numbers every day. Apple's tech support is telling me my iPod is retrieving my emails from my ISP's server, not from my Mac's Mail program, which I hoped (so the filtering could have been done before emails are forwarded to my iPod).
...So I need to find a similar solution for my iPod. I guess this is not built into the iPod's OS, and I'd rather find an application for it...
I found one called SpamDrain which seems like one of those free apps. Anyone experiencing it, or other apps to do a good filtering job?
Thanks....

Maybe it's because the games are made to utilize the click wheel? There aren't any games for the iPhone either right?
