Junk E-Mail Folder Disappears with Snow Lepoard

On my Exchange Server, there is a folder called Junk E-Mail. My Exchange server puts spam into that folder. When I used Apple Mail with Exchange in the old Leopard implementation, that folder appeared and I could review junk mail. When I upgraded to Snow Leopard and created a new Mail setup to use Exchange, it pulls in all folders on my account EXCEPT for Junk E-Mail. So, now I cannot see Junk Emails. Is there a solution to this?

i was also somewhat confused by Matt's solution suggested since I too have enterprise-grade exchange service and it has a good spam filter that i would like to keep on.
i did, however, investigate further and found that i can find the junk email folder using the 'Move To' submenu in the 'Message' menu in Mail. just navigate there and you should see the 'junk' folder in the list somewhere.
i have only tested this on my own macbook pro and not sure if it would work for the rest of you but i am using exchange 2007 features pretty smoothly in Mail.
i also confirm that junk emails are included in mail searches.
on a partially related note, msgFiler is a nice little mail plugin that helps move my messages but also is a way of quickly navigating to any folder by entering the first few letters instead of digging through menus and it brought up my junk mail folder when i typed 'junk'.
finally, after you do find the 'junk' folder on the folder list, it should show up in the sidebar after using it once but i am guessing it disappears once you restart Mail.

Link Functionality in Junk E-Mail Folder

Mail filtered as "junk" is automatically moved to the Junk E-Mail folder and links in the message are disabled as a protective measure. However, if I delete the email, or move it to the Deleted Items folder, the link functionality is fully restored.
Does that not seem unwise? Why would mail in Deleted Items have functional links?

Hi,
In my opinion, Deleted Items folder stores items that you deleted of your own accord. These items are different from Junk emails which could be harmful.
If you are sure that the messages in Junk folder are useless, we can right-click Junk folder and select
Empty Folder to permanently delete the messages instead of moving them to Deleted Items folder. Or, you can hold
Shift key and then click Delete button to permanently deleted items in Junk folder.

Duplicate emails in Junk E-Mail folder when running multiple Outlook clients

Has anyone experienced problems when running multiple Outlook clients - and a junk e-mail is received?
We are seeing that when a user is running 3 Outlook clients (2007/2010) - and they received a junk email - Outlook seems to take that email and movie to the folder. However, with 3 clients, there end up being 3 copies of the email.
Mail clients are Outlook 2007/2010 running in native Exchange mode (no IMAP, POP, etc). Server is Exchange 2010 SP1, RU2.
Antivirus is McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.7.0i - but we believe that the problem occurs even with it disabled.

hi, we also faced the same issue.
we had a common mailbox that is accessed from different workstations, and the outlook profile is set to cached mode. when a junk mail is received, it will create duplicates according to the number of outlook clients, as what jbuschmann mentioned. Is this
a known issue in outlook 2010? Understand there's a fix for outlook 2003 for a similar issue, is there a similar fix for outlook 2010? thanks!

The ReFS File System Silently Deletes Folders Without Your Consent? How to Make the File or Folder Disappear with a Simple Rename Operation

While solving issues with ReFS not deleting some nested folders when I delete its parent, I've noticed that ReFS automatically
removes the folder without even asking you after you rename it by adding the exclamation mark to the beginning of its name.
For example:
In Windows Explorer press Ctrl+N to create a new folder and name it somehow, like Test
Select this folder and hit F2, then add the ! mark at the beginning renaming the folder to !Test.
Hit ENTER to change the name.
Hit F5 to refresh Windows Explorer.
Voila! The folder disappeared without your consent.
Why is that?
Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

Is that specific to Windows TP? Even a specific build?
I could not repro on Windows 2012 R2.
I have no unused space on my Win TP system, so could not try there.

'All Mail' Folder disappeared after Mavericks upgrade

Before upgrading to Mavericks my mail app had an 'All Mail' folder in the G Mail section on the left hand side of my mail app. This area below 'On My Mac' has folders I created and below that a section that automatically appeared called G Mail. In it is obviously all my g mail but one folder that was particularly useful in finding all g mails that have been sent, deleted, etc. from my Mac, iPad or iPhone is gone. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.

Mail folder disappeared -- right before my eyes!`

A quick scan of the missing mail posts suggests that most are related to upgrades of some kind. I don't have time to read all of them carefully, so I'll just post my question, asking forgiveness if it's already been answered.
Today I was reorganizing Mail folders and mailboxes, which involved changing some names. When I started to rename one folder, it disappeared! I checked Edit>Undo, but it showed no action. I looked in all the folders on the list -- no joy. I admit that it is possible that I touched return without entering any letters -- would that make the folder disappear? Any way I can find it?
Alice Teter

I haven't customized the icons -- Mail produces them. Maybe they are folders -- they're small and I've never looked closely at them.
I found the missing Mail folder in the Library/Mail/Mailboxes list. Apparently I did put in a leading period (anyway, it's there). How do I get it back into Mail? I tried changing the name by removing the period, but it didn't show up in Mail. Is this one of those things that doesn't take effect until the app is closed and opened again?
Thanks!

Synching iPhone 5 and MacBook with Snow Lepoard

How do I synch my email, contacts, calendar on my mac iPone 5, with my MacBook that will only run Snow Lepoard, using the cloud? Ths is frustrating that Apple did a big change between Snow Lepoard and Mountian Lion. I.can't afford to upgrade my computer to get Mountial Lion.
I use both iPhone and MacBook for business and I can't synch the two together on the cloud.

You can get your iCloud email by just adding your account to your Mac using these settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864. But without OS X Lion or Mountain Lion you won't be able to sync contacts and calendars using iCloud. If you want to sync these with your Mac you'll have to go to Settings>iCloud, turn contacts and calendars to off, choosing Keep on My iPhone when prompted, then sync these with your Mac using iTunes by selecting to do so on the Info tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.

After installing Mavericks my Business Mail folder disappeared and Time Machine can't seem to restore it with everything in it. How can I fix this?

Time Machine doesn't restore my Business Folder in Mail, which is empty after I installed Mavericks. It will restore just the folder but nothing in it. What am I doing wrong? Also, Time Machine doesn't go back more than about a year. I thought it would do better than that.

Michael - Thanks! I used my wife's iBook, and it did indeed allow me to restore it there.
Unfortunately, now when I plug my nano into my Cube, it is still telling me that some of the tunes don't copy onto my iPod (in fact, none of them do) because I don't have the current software, and to install the latest by going to apple.com, blah, blah, blah.
I DO indeed have the latest software and both iTunes and my Cube recognize the nano. I just can't get it to copy them onto it.
Does anyone have an idea as to what I can do to actually get MUSIC to play ut of this thing! I've had it for a week and a half, and something as simple as getting tunes to load onto it is proving to be the hardest process ever! Arggghhhh!
The only thing I could think of - and this was late last night, was tha looking at the specs of iTunes 5.0.1, is that it requires a 500MHz processor - and my Cube only has a 450 MHz PowerPC G4 processor - Can anyone tell me if this is the problem?

Mail keeps disappearing in Snow Leopard

All of my mail, mailboxes and folders keep disappearing in Mail 4.1. Ever since I updated to Snow Leopard this keeps happening. I constantly have to remove and reenter my MobileMe Imap Info and I am afraid one day I will not be able to reconfigure and all my mail will be lost. PLEASE HELP!!! THANKS!

Having the same problem - random messages just keep disappearing
A colleague noticed that messages are just vanishing from her inbox in front of her eyes. She was in the middle of reading one when it just disappeared! It doesn't show up in any searches or other folders. Sometimes they re-appear when she quits Mail and re-opens it, but sometimes they don't which is a huge worry. I've tried re-building mailboxes when they don't re-appear but no joy. She hasn't got any rules or filters applied.
Could it be anything to do with the 'compact mailboxes automatically' option in mail - preferences - accounts - advanced? It's greyed out so can't change it?
She's got an IMAP account and mail is controlled by an Exchange 2003 server. Recently upgraded her OS X to Snow Leopard as it was an issue on Leopard too. Posted the problem on the OS X 10.5 boards too but got no answers. Running out of ideas and i'm getting flack for not knowing what's going on or how to fix it.
Why are you doing this Mail, why?!
Help!

Mail mailboxes disappeared with upgrade to Mountain Lion

I upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion a couple of days ago. Yesterday everything was fine, but today my Mail mailboxes have all disappeared--they're just not there. Years of carefully filed correspondence! How do I get them back? I back up with Time Machine to a Time Capsule.
Thanks.

When I click on "show" or "hide," the following mailboxes appear and disappear:
Inbox
Flagged
Drafts
Sent
Junk
Trash
The mailboxes I created used to appear below "On my Mac," but now there's nothing below that.

Yahoo Mail folder behaviour with Apple Mail 5.0

I think it's great that Apple Mail 5.0 now has IMAP functionality with Yahoo Mail but I have one query that I'm hoping someone can help me out with.
If I send mail with Yahoo Mail, using Apple Mail, it creates a new sent messages folder where my messages are put after being sent. What I would like to do however, is use the Sent folder, which Yahoo uses by defaul when using the web interface.
Is there any way to get Apple Mail 5.0 to do this?
Any help/ideas/suggestions

I just did that for the "sent" folder that was showing up under the list of Yahoo folders. It seems as if all email sent from my phone were going into that folder. Once I did that, the folder popped up under the Sent with the paper airplane icon.
However, then it moved all of the ones that HAD been in the sent folder with the paper airplane (sent locally on the Mac) to a "Sent Messages (Yahoo!)" folder under "On My Mac".
I'm assuming the paper airplane section is IMAP. But now I still have sent items in 2 places:
Sent (paper airplane)>Yahoo
On My Mac>Sent Messages (Yahoo!)
How do I resolve this so that ALL Yahoo email (whether sent from my iPhone or locally on the Mac--or even the web interface) goes to the same sent folder?

All mail folder disappeared after 10.9.2 update.

After the 10.9.2 updtae all my mail sub-folders dissapered from my Mac Mail.

Anyone know how to fix?

Mail Folder Disappears

One of my folders in Mail, along with several subfolders and a large number (~600) of saved messages vanished from the sidebar. It also does not appear in the library/mail/mailboxes list or in Mail's or Finder's trash. A search turned up the messages, but the Mail search function doesn't return folders or disclose any kind of path information. Spotlight was also no help. I re-created the missing folder and stuffed the recovered messages into it, but will have to reconstruct the folder hierarchy by hand. Any insight into what may have happened would be much appreciated.

Thanks for your patience with this.
You asked: " you don’t see a Show in Mailbox link at the top right corner of the message in the preview pane when Mail displays it there as a result of selecting it in the search results list"?
That's true. I don't see that option.
You also asked: "If you open one of the messages that Spotlight finds and view it in Mail, don’t you see a Show in Mail Viewer link at the top right corner of the message either? "
I hadn't tried that; I was looking for the missing mailbox folder in Spotlight, and did not find it. I did find all the messages it and its subfolders contained, but I didn't open any of them. I have covered my tracks somewhat by re-creating the vanished mailbox and moving all the retrieved messages into it. Spotlight now finds the newly re-created folder, and as you suggested opening one of the messages gives me the (now redundant) information about its location.
I was hoping to understand what had happened, but I think it is going to be difficult to reconstruct it. I now know what to do, though, if it should happen again, to try to find the missing folder using Spotlight.
Thanks again for your help.

"Junk" vs. "Junk E-mail"

I have two folders where junk messages are being filtered and it's a bit annoying to check both. The folders exist in Mail, .Mac Mail, and on my iPhone. Which folder can I delete so that I only have to review junk mail in one place?
Message was edited by: Marshall Durrett

Have you ever accessed your .Mac account with another other email client besides the Mail application on your Mac or with the iPhone's email client?
When I've accessed my .Mac account with Outlook, Outlook creates an additional "Junk E-Mail" folder on the server which is used by Outlook only.
You can remove the "Junk E-Mail" mailbox from the server via .Mac webmail access and designate the "Junk" mailbox to be used by the server for storing messages marked as junk by the server.
This should take care of the rest.
