Hello SkeeterOz,
It sounds like you’re seeing spam emails in the Mail application on your MacBook Air, but you aren’t seeing those spam emails on your iPhone. The article linked below will walk you through enabling Junk Mail filtering in Mail and specifying what you want to do with the emails that are filtered.

Is this BBM message for real?!?!

I just got this BBM message forwarded to me : Message from Jim Balsamic (CEO of RIM Blackberry) we have had an over usage of user names on Blackberry Messenger. We are requesting all users to forward this message to their entire contact list. If you do not forward this message, we will take it as your account is invalid and it will be deleted within the next 48 hours. Please DO NOT ignore this message or blackberry will no longer recognise your pin. If you wish to re-activate your account after it has been deleted, a charge of 25.00 will be added to your monthly bill. We are also aware of the issue involving the pictures updates not showing. We are working diligently at fixing this problem and it will be up and running as soon as possible. Thank you for your cooperation. Is this for real? I noticed that recognize was spelled wrong and it just didn't seem to make sense, but who knows anymore? I don't even know how to forward a message through BBM if I wanted to. Not sure what to do with this one. Any help anyone can give would be much appreciated! :-)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

ajhaes, greetings and welcome to the forum.
1. This same question has been asked in the forum here dozens of times.
2. The Co-CEO (not CEO) of RIM is named Jim Balsillie, not Balsamic (which is an aged vinegar produced in Italy); secondly, the company name is BlackBerry, not Blackberry, and finally if you think RIM monitors your BlackBerry Messenger messages to know if or not you re-send that message, don't you think RIM could read all of your messages? Would you put up with that?
3. Do you currently get a bill from BlackBerry to which they can add 25.00 to? Users are normally billed by their mobile service provider, not RIM or BlackBerry.
So, what do you think?
Solution? Delete the user from your BBM contacts who was stupid enough to send the message to you.

Is this Phishing or for real?

Received a message that looks like it came from the iTunes Store. I went to the iTunes Store, clicked on "Check for available Downloads", and entered my AppleID. It seems all media has already been downloaded. Has anyone else seen this? Is this just another Phishing Expedition? Lot of posts about hacked iTunes accounts these days. Thanks.

Howdy,
I also did get a similar email to the 2nd one (cdboehmer's post) indicated in this , however, in my case, it was in English as it should be, and it is real. In my case, it was apparently a notification regarding Apples Sale's information, which I do only rarely log into and I do have an account with due to my affiliation with Apple.
Of course, It's always good to be on the safe side, and ask if your not sure it's a a fake, say, here on these forums or where ever you can get some good advice, and remember, if you get an email with a 'link', instead, you can always type in a URL manually, instead of clicking on a link that may or may not take you to where it looks like it will take you, but could be a fake made to look like the real site to fake you out.
Some applications also will show you the REAL underlying URL for the link, if you hover the mouse over the URL/link for a few seconds, and if it's not going to the right place but some other bogus web site, then it is most likely phishing/spam/UCE, etc...
I was also able to validate in the email headers that it did come from Apple (although that too can be spoofed and could be lies).
In this particular case, it's legit.
The original and real email:
==============================================================
From: [email protected]
Subject: First notification:your Apple account has been inactive
Please log in to your Apple account to avoid deactivation
Our records indicate that your account has been inactive for 90 days. To keep your account active, you need to log into your account at least once every 90 days.

Thank you,

How do I set TB so it does NOT alert me when junk mail arrives?

I keep TB up most of the time in the background while I work because I frequently get emails from my clients and family during the day. The problem is that I also get a lot of junk mail and so TB is also constantly notifying me of this junk mail. This distracts me from my work and takes time from my working day to check what just came in when I hear the notification. I would like to have the option in Settings to select which accounts (I have 4) and which folders within each account should notify me. I need to have ready access to the junk folders so I can check them occasionally for legitimate mail but I don't need to know every time something arrives there. I would like to be notified when new mail arrives in one of the Inbox's but not when it arrives in a Spam or Bulk or Junk folder. Thank you, DaveWK

I don't think you can. New mail is new mail. There might be something on the add-on site. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/

Junk mail filter not working properly

About two weeks ago mail started marking lots of messages as "Junk". Even messages (reminders) I send myself are marked as junk. This is entirely new and I don´t have a clue of what triggered the change in behavior.
I have turned off the junk mail filtering, but that is not my preferred solution.
Any hints on what might be going on?

I too have a problem with junk mail, but it is a little different. Every time I click junk mail for a mail message that is junk, nothing happens. What I mean by this is that the same emails from the same sources continue to come into my inbox without being filtered out. Is there some setting that I need to check to have mail filter out my junk?

Change Mail for Exchange sender name

Hi,
How can I change the sender's name for outgoing emails in Mail for Exchange application?
I am using Nokia 5800 Xpress Music.
Thank you!

Well,
Nokia MfE doesn't reply to my mails. I guess that only poeple using MfE v 2.09.158 who are not registered to the MfE Service (I guess you have to pay a monthly fee as it is with the Blackberry service) have the sender name problem. Of course you can use MfE with other mail providers than Nokia MfE. But in this case "Mail for Exchange" will appear as sender name.
I now switched over to MfE's competitor "RS" and don't have this annoying problem anymore. The alternative to RS would be using the old MfE version where I didn't have that sender name prob. But as my battery was empty after 15 hrs using the old MfE version (with RS my battery lasts 3 days !!!) there is no real alternative to RS!
This sender name problem seems to be part of Nokia's business strategy. As they want to compete with Blackberry they want you to register (and pay the MfE mail service monthly). Probably that's the reason why you get MfE for free (RS costs 50 US$).
Any comments on my theory?!
BR, Johnny

Question about training junk mail

In Mail I've set the Junk preference as 'Move it to the Junk Mailbox', but it's missing quite a few junk mails & delivering them to my Inbox.
So I thought I'd set it to 'Leave it on my Inbox... (Training)' & mark them manually for a while.
I'm thinking that if I train Mail to recognise all the junk mail for a while I'll be able to switch it back to 'Move it to the Junk Mailbox' & should catch the junk mail that it previously missed.
Am I right in thinking this?
If so then how long (roughly) should I train junk mail for? If not any suggestions on what might be the best thing to do?
(Would leaving the setting at 'Move it to the Junk Mailbox' but clicking the Rest button in preferences help?)

What Dan said. The junk filter never stops learning, and learns the same regardless of the mode of operation. What trains the filter is manually marking messages as either junk or not junk when Mail fails to correctly identify them.
The only difference between Training and Automatic modes is whether junk mail is automatically moved to a separate Junk mailbox or not. Keeping junk mail in the Inbox is called Training mode simply because nobody in his/her right mind would want to keep doing that after having trained the filter for some time. The filter could be set Automatic mode right away without that having any adverse impact on its training.

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,

Can not expand junk mail folder

A weird thing happend to my junk mail, for no appearent reason. One of my four junk mail folders (since I use four email accounts) suddently has a little grey arrow next to it, implying that I should expand the folder to see the contents. When I click on the arrow, nothing happens. Next to the junk mail folder icon and text, it denotes that there are 11 new messages. I can't see them, and I can't delete them.
I would like to browse through these emails, since often there is one which may actually interest me. I can't figure it out. The three other junk mail folders/ email accounts have not changed, and are working just fine. I have not changed the settings. I don't think I dragged a new folder into the junk mail. Any insight?
Thanks!

Report the names of the files and folders present at the first level of the ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/ account folder.
In order to post the exact file names and avoid typing mistakes, proceed as follows. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/. With that folder open, if you’re looking at it in View > as List mode, first collapse any expanded folders so that the Finder only shows the files and folders at the first level. Now, do Edit > Select All (⌘A), then Edit > Copy (⌘C), and paste it in your reply to this post.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

Arrrrggghhhh! JUNK MAIL!!!

Does anyone know if there is a way to get a filter system or rules established in Mail on the iPhone anywhere near or similar to that of Mail in OS X? The majority of the mail I get these days is just spam. I am quite fine with the size of my member and am not really sure why I would care what Angelina Jolie is doing right now. So this junk mail just takes my time and data plan and beats it up like Floyd Mayweather did to everyone he faced. It's probably just wishful thinking at this point but if it is out there, or someone has come up with a work around I would love to hear about it.

Gmail does a great job filtering out spam.
1. Register for a free Gmail account.
2. Setup Gmail to download your mail from your mail server, or tell your other mail server to forward all mail to your Gmail account (whichever one you prefer)
3. Setup your iPhone to download mail from gmail, instead of your current email account.
problem solved

Disable "Erase Junk Mail" and "Erase Deleted Items" Confirmation

Does anyone know of a way to disable the confirmation dialoge box that appears when you right-click on an account in Mail 5.2 and select "Erase Junk Mail" or "Erase Deleted Items"? I've tried holding down Option and then selecting the item, but that doesn't remove the confirmation dialoge.
I'd like to remove the confirmation dialoge completely as it just adds an extra step to something that is otherwise a quick operation to clear out junk mail.

For what type of account - IMAP or POP?
If a POP account, quit Mail first and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail > this POP account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account) > Junk.mbox.
Delete the Junk.mbox and empty the Trash. This will delete the account's Junk mailbox and all junk messages within.
Launch Mail, and a new Junk.mbox will be created automatically within the account named folder when the next message received is automatically or manually marked as junk and moved to the account's Junk mailbox.
Test if this resolve the problem.

Signature in Mail for Exchange

I recently updatet the firmware at my Nokia N73 to latest version (V 4.0839.42.2.1) which forced me to reinstall Mail for Exchange.
After this update (Mail for Exchange ver. 2.07.000) I am only able to use a signature in outgoing mails limited to 75 characters.
I haven't noticed this limit within earlier versions of the software, is it possible to increase this limit in some way?
Thank you for your help.

currently, the email does not put the sent messages into the server sent folder for imap/exchange/pop email.
this is something that i did bring up to the collaberation manager for maemo SW at the CTIA show.
n900 also does not cache the email on the phone, so it always has to update the folders.
his suggestion to cc yourself is currently the only way to do so, or you can just go into the sent folder on your n900 and then menu/move messages/"choose messages"/"choose folder"
i do not know about the signiture for the MFE

Is vision development module in labview 8.6. sufficient for real-time image acquisition and analysis using a webcam

Hi,
I'm new to labview and trying to develop an eye-tracker using labview 8.6. It has the vision development module and i was wondering if this was sufficient for real-time image acquisition and processing or would i be needing any other software tools.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello, certainly it is possible and sufficient for real-time tracking!
About eye tracking - if you need an example, you can find the code here:
https://decibel.ni.com/content/blogs/kl3m3n/2013/10/08/real-time-face-and-eye-detection-in-labview-u...
The code uses OpenCV functionalities along with the LabView UI (and some other functions like overlay).
Hope this helps a bit.
Best regards,
K
