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?

  • Junk mail filter doesnt work.. what do I do?

    Back when I was in 10.3.9, I was using Mail ever since we got this G5.. but then the Junk mail filter stopped working and Mail always hung whenever I was sent an EPS graphic.. so I said screw this and moved to Entourage. Been using that, but the Junk mail filter in THAT has stopped working.. and its annoying me. So.. I recently upgraded to 10.4.7 (now to .8) and I figured I would give Mail a try again. So, I load it up, it moves all my mail and accounts over.. fine. But the junk mail filter still seems to not be able to recognize all the spam crap I get as junk mail. What do I do?

    Try this.
    Go to Mail > Preferences > Junk Mail.
    Deselect "Enable junk mail filtering".
    Quit and re-launch the Mail.app.
    Go to Mail > Preferences > Junk Mail.
    Reselect "Enable junk mail filtering" and then select the Reset button at the bottom of the Junk Mail preferences window to completely reset the Junk Mail "learned" settings.
    You can leave Junk Mail set to automatic when doing so. Using the Reset feature should work and the filter must be retrained but the filter learns quickly or should when working properly.
    Regarding EPS graphic files, these have been known to cause problems with the Mail.app since the Mail.app displays all image/photo and single page PDF attachments inline or viewed in place within the body of the message which cannot be turned off.
    If you receive EPS graphic files on a regular basis, take a look at Mail Attachments Iconizer.

    Yes, it is a problem.

  • Just upgraded to iOS5 on iPad. Music app and mail does not work properly.

    Just upgraded iPad2 to iOS5. Music app does not work properly. When I select a song to play, it plays a different song. Sometimes, it just stops playing songs, other times, it shuffles songs.
    Not sure whats going on.
    Worked fine using iOS4.3.5.
    Synced the iPad to iCloud. enabled mail. It shows under settings that the iCloud mail is setup, but the mail does not appear in the mail app. Not sure whats happening with these functions on iOS5.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • My Mail is not working properly after installing Lion

    I just installed Lion and my mail is not working.  It keeps asking me for the password and says it can not go online.  All my mail folders have disapeard and with them my saved emails!  Also the Back to Mac is not able to take my password either.

    Ouch...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

  • Why Mail does not work properly after updated to Mountain Lion?

    I updated to ML two days ago and my Mail is not working.  I can read but cannot reply because there is no cursor.  Restarted a few times, no change.  Anybody has the same problem??
    Rudh

    I forgot to mention (and add a new level of strangeness) that Mail is retreiving all of my messages from my personal (AT&T) account without issue.
    And I just discovered an even bigger problem: all of my emails from my Sent and other folders from my work account are completely gone!
    I may have no choice but to revert to my Lion system as of yesteday, before I installed ML.

  • Aspect ratio filter not working properly

    I am running LR3.5 on Mac OS 10.6.8 and recently discovered that the aspect ratio filter is not working when used on folders created a few years ago. Specifically, a great many images shot in landscape mode are included with the portrait mode filter instead of in the landscape mode filter. This is not happening with more recent folders. At least one of my camera bodies has been used for images in older and newer folders so I do not think it is the camera's fault. I should also add that the files are saved in the dng format.
    I do not know how long this has been going on, since I rarely use the aspect ratio filter. It is even possible that this happened when I converted my catalog from LR2 to LR3.   The integrity of the catalog is checked each time I back up, which is whenever I exit.  Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
    Thanks.
    Mark

    So the metadata is properly showing the images as landscape. Somewhere along the way LR got out of sync, perhaps moving images into a new catalog? As long as there are no portrait Crops on any of these files they should filter properly after resynching the DNG metadata. There have been other posts with this same issue and a bug report to Adobe. Not sure it has been actually fixed though:

  • Table date filter not working properly

    Hi OTN,
    I have noticed that table date filter not always working properly.
    When I copy actual value from column outputText to column filter and hit Enter - I see an empty table.
    http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/818/filter.png/
    I suspect the problem to lie among date formats.
    But I tried to delete convertDateTime from outputText or add it under filter inputDate. Nothing helped.
    <af:column sortProperty="Hisdate" sortable="true"
                                     headerText="#{bindings.InformationView1.hints.Hisdate.label}"
                                     id="c8" visible="false" filterable="true"
                                     width="83">
                            <af:outputText value="#{row.Hisdate}" id="ot5">
                              <af:convertDateTime pattern="#{bindings.InformationView1.hints.Hisdate.format}"/> // or without both lines
                            </af:outputText>
                            <f:facet name="filter">
                              <af:inputDate id="id15"
                                            value="#{vs.filterCriteria.Hisdate}"
                                            columns="8">
                                <af:convertDateTime pattern="#{bindings.InformationView1.hints.Hisdate.format}"/> // or without both lines
                              </af:inputDate>
                            </f:facet>
                          </af:column>Nothing special about the attribute. A database table field of type DATE. In database this (see picture) row has exactly "06.06.2006".
    Could you please point me out where to start seeking?
    Thanks.

    Well, OK. I think I'd better have 2 attributes: truncated date for filter and full date with time for edit.
    What is an attribute type for datetime?
    select trunc(t.HISDATE) AS HISDATE -- date attribute type
        ,to_char(t.HISDATE, 'dd.mm.yyyy hh24:mi') AS HISDATETIME -- timestamp/date attribute type?Something like this?

  • Mail search not working properly

    Just upgraded to ML and the search function in mail just isn't working properly, I didn't think the Lion mail search was great but this one seems 10 times worse. If I search for words contained within a message, the results only show messages from the last couple of months even though I know there's dozens of messages containing the same word from the last couple years.
    I tried repairing permissions and rebooting. Still same issue.
    If I manually open an old message, and then perform a search, that particualar message will get included in the results, but I can't open thousands of emails just for the search to index them.

    You should try rebuilding your Spotlight index, as that's what Mail uses.
    Go to Spotlight preferences, and drag your boot drive (probably called "Macintosh HD") into the privacy pane.  Say OK to the warning.  Then after about 10 seconds, remove it.  The whole drive will be re-indexed (this will take a couple hours) and then search should work again.

  • Mail does not work properly with gmail

    Hi everyone. I am a very recent switcher and the switching process was great and extremely easy, but there has only been one problem that I can't seem to solve. Getting Gmail to work with Apple Mail. I followed all the steps on gmail's website on, how to set up gmail for POP, and how to configure Apple Mail to work with gmail, but I still can't get it to download all my emails. It only downloads some old emails, marks them all as unread, and then doesn't act like I have any other emails(which I do). Under system preferences, I have the account type labeled as POP, the incoming mail server set to pop.gmail.com, my username and password set, and the smtp box set to smtp.gmail.com. Under server settings I have the server port at 587, the ssl box checked and the outgoing mail server as stmp.gmail, like I said before. Under the advanced tab of the accounts section of apple mail preferences, I have the account enable box checked, the include when automatically checking for new mail box checked, and down at the bottom, I have the port set at 995 with the ssl box checked. In gmail, under my forwarding and POP settings, I have it set, under the POP download section to: Enable POP for all mail(even mail that's already been downloaded). Also, the status is set to "POP is enabled for all mail that has arrived since 10/13/05(which was when i first got my gmail account). Like I said before, Apple Mail at first starting downloading all the mail in my gmail account and then stopped after about 1000 to 2000 messages which only got it to about mid-2006 or earlier. Yes, I've run software update recently, too. Does anyone know why it would not dowload the rest of my mail? All help is very greaty appreciated. Thanks.

    I just put my gmail account in Apple Mail and it works fine - even transferring my old gmail messages. Maybe your problem is STORAGE - see this from Mail Help:
    About .Mac Mail
    .Mac Mail works with existing email clients like Mac OS X Mail, Outlook Express, and Netscape Communicator.
    You can also check email when you're away from your own computer. All you need is a computer with an Internet connection and a supported web browser to check your .Mac Mail. To access .Mac Mail on the web using Mac OS X version 10.3 or later, use Safari 1.2 or later or Firefox 1.0.1 or later. If you're using Microsoft Windows XP, use Firefox 1.0.1 or later or Internet Explorer 6 or later.
    Use POP or IMAP protocol to suit your working style and set up automatic email forwarding or replies.
    Your email address is your .Mac member name followed by @mac.com, and the password for accessing email is the same as your member password.
    Note: AOL recently added support for IMAP, so you can now read your AOL mail using Mac OS X Mail. You cannot use AOL's email program to read .Mac Mail messages directly, but you can set up your .Mac Mail account to forward email to your AOL account.
    .Mac comes with 1 gigabyte (GB) of combined email and iDisk storage. .Mac trial members and email-only accounts get 50 megabytes (MB) of storage; Family Pack sub-accounts get 256 MB. You can designate storage space to your .Mac Mail account and your iDisk. For example, if you need more storage space for your email messages, you can set your .Mac Mail storage capacity to 800 MB and reserve 224 MB of storage for your iDisk. You can also increase your combined email and iDisk storage to a total of 2 GB or 4 GB by purchasing more storage. (If you have a trial account, email-only account, or Family Pack sub-account, you cannot increase your storage amount.)
    Your .Mac Mail storage is automatically set to 512 MB unless you change it. You can't assign less than 15 MB of storage to your .Mac Mail account.
    .Mac comes with 10 GB of data transfer per month and a 10 MB maximum message size. You can increase your monthly data transfer limit up to 250 GB per month by adding more storage space to your .Mac account. You can also purchase up to 10 additional email accounts. (Email-only accounts get 50 MB of storage space but no additional .Mac services, and Family Pack sub-accounts get 256 MB of storage space, but cannot purchase additional email accounts.)
    If I had 2000 emails on my computer I would shut it down and never turn it on again.

  • IPhone 4 mail App not working properly

    My IPhone 4 mail app just continues to spin and check email without getting email or sending.
    Had the same problem in October after iOS 6 update took in phone and got a new one under 1 yr warranty.( apple and Verizon techs could not figure)
    Again the problem is back.  The spiny thing just continues to spin and no email update.
    If I reboot the phone the email is pulled down but stops again.
    iPhone : 4
    iOS : 6.01
    Carrier : Verizon wireless
    Can not find anything on apple support or anywhere on google
    I installed gmail app and all email pulls down perfectly but can not get me AOL email setup
    So I know the network is working
    Anyone know about this email App problem?
    Thx

    I'm getting this too. It's very slow and apparently thinks "Call Sue Newport" sounds like "Call Halfords" or "Call Halyards" and, most surprisingly "Call First Great Western".
    I was wearing my Jawbone Bluetooth headset so it's nothing to do with background noise.
    I tried the new "What time is it?" command which works but takes about 10-15 seconds to activate.

  • E-mail alerts not working properly

    I have a problem with my Tour which has put me in some awkward situations- like in court and work meeting- not good.
    The e-mail alert makes an audible noise even when the setting is programmed for silent. My original Tour worked fine at first, and after about 3 weeks the problem appeared. Verizon replaced the phone and now the replacement worked fine at first and is now messing up after about 3 weeks.
    I need a fix for this problem. I saw someone else described the same problem on the Storm forum. It appears it might be a software issue.

    "Normal" is what you set it to be (with or without email alerts, etc). Loud and Silent should be evident as well.
    I still think you have some setting to override the silent profile for something.
    If you look at the Silent profile and check the email settings for volume, etc., everything is set to off or mute or whatever would be appropiriate for "silent'?
