Junk Mail in Inbox

Starting on December 26, 2012 I began getting 8-10 spam emails within a one hour period. I have a @me.com account. The spam mail I received was not marked as Junk and showed up in my inbox. After researching, I found that you could "train" the mail to what was junk so I began marking all the spam emails and leaving them in my inbox. It is now Jan 4 and I am still receiving 6-8 spam emails EVERYDAY with none marked as junk and nothing in my junk folder. There has been no change with the way @me.com is treating my spam. I did try to change the Preferences to "Move it to the Junk Mailbox" but it stayed in my inbox anyway so I changed it back after reading about the training process.
I have had Macs for a long time but as far as technical stuff I am a newbie and don't know a ton of the intricate stuff like permissions or whatever so please be gentle with your replies and instructions! Thank you for any ideas!
Here are my current Preferences in Mail:

Hi Tom & David
Sorry to confuse you guys. What I'm saying is that my INBOX shows all mail, every thing, Junk and all.
But I also have a mailbox called JUNK which the mail get filtered too.
So if I go into JUNK I will see only the JUNK filtered emails. And if I go into INBOX I see every email.
What I would like it to do is have my JUNK mail only appear in the JUNK MAILBOX.
I have other MAILBOXES as I'm trying to create an organised work space, so email that I get from REDROCK should go to the REDROCK mailbox, which it does.... but it also shows up in the INBOX.
I'm trying to cross over from Entourage because it's FIND function is useless but I'm finding Apple's MAIL frustrating as I doen't want to see all my mail in the INBOX.
I'd like to only see MAIL that has not been filtered in the INBOX, not every email that I've received.
I've check the settings and have not got JUNK on TRAINING, its set to MOVE TO JUNK MAILBOX AUTOMATICALY.
I'm hoping MAIL can be better than Entourage but it appears its filtering isn't up to scratch.
I hope this makes sense now.
Thanks for your help.
Kind regards
Rory

Error moving email from Junk-Mail to Inbox

The message could not be moved to the mailbox "INBOX"
The IMAP command "APPEND" (to INBOX) failed with server error: APPEND failed: Unknown flag: JunkRecorded.
The message appears to move to my inbox anyways, but the error is rather annoying. Anyone have any clues?
Screenshot of the error message:

It's a stupid error really, I guess it means my email server can't handle the command from APple Mail, but I don't want it to, I just want the move to occur locally.

How can I delete junk mail before getting in my Thunderbird Inbox?

I read over here but didn't find reply.
Can please somebody help?
I do not want to see anymore any junk email in my inbox, to be deleted or placed in Junk folder.
THANKS.

None to reply? None to know....

Can't move some junk mail to Yahoo inbox in Mail

I have two email boxes, iCloud and Yahoo (att.net) After upgrade to Mountain Lion I cannot move mis-identified Junk Mail into Yahoo inbox

As I said, if the discussion applies to both Mail 1.x and Mail 2.x, which I believe will be the case here, it doesn’t really matter.
Report the names of the files and folders present at the first level of the ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/ account folder in the Finder.
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.
You’ll probably see a Junk folder without the .mbox suffix there. If that’s the case, quit Mail and rename the folder to Junk.mbox. That should fix the problem.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

I am received spam email in my inbox not Junk-mail

Hello ,

i am facing problem ,all users received spam email in inbox not Junk mail

I want when the user receives a spam I want to go to junk-email not inbox.

Hi,
Thanks for your detailed configuration steps.
As the Anti-Spam workflow article, I suggest double check whether the “spamhuas” in the IP Allow List.
1. Connection Filtering
IP Allow List -> IP Block List -> Safe Provider List -> IP Block Provider’s RBL
1) If sender IP in IP Alllow List, the message flow to Sender filtering directly. If not, it flows to IP Block List.
2) If sender IP in IP Block List, the message is rejected and applied no other filters. If not, it flows to Safe Provider List.
3) If spamhaus in Safe Provider List, the message flow to Sender filtering directly. If not, it flows to IP Block Provider List.
4) If in IP Block Provider’s RBL, the message is rejected and applied no other filters. If not, it flows to Sender filtering.
2. Sender Filtering
Please add spam senders into Blocked Sender and select “Reject message” action.
3. Content Filtering
Please configure the Custom Words, “Allow messages containing these words or phrases:” and “Block messages containing these words or phrases (messages containing words or phrases listed above will not be blocked):”.
Thanks

Email and junk mail/deleting mail...re-downloads junk into inbox!

When I mark an email as junk, it re-downloads it and puts it back into the inbox. Also, Mail is VERY slow when doing this (3 minutes to delete an email??) on a mid-2010 iMac 27"...I cannot clear my inbox of trash and junk when it re-downloads everything, and then marks it as unread a SECOND time (even though it seems to know the messages were previously marked as junk) Mail has gone from being efficient under 10.7 to clunky and unresponsive in 10.8. Please help!!

I can't tell from what you wrote, but I wonder if you have the email setup as POP and not IMAP. Re-downloading is typically associated with a POP setup.

All of the emails in my icloud inbox have disappeared in the last week and now I am getting 10-20 junk mail per hour. Any thoughts?

I converted to icloud weeks ago, but then all of my old emails in my inbox disappeared in the last week. I can't find them anywhere. On icloud.com, on any of my devices, no where. They have evaporated. Help???
Also, when that occurred I am now getting 10-20 junk mails an hour. Some are completely new to me, but others I have opted out of before. I am about to stop using this email address if it can't be resovled.
Very frustrating. Thoughts?

TS3276 My junk mail does not separate from my inbox.

I set up my email and unlike my old Mac, the junk mail does not separate from the inbox. Meaning it doesn't just go right to the Junk folder. How do I get it to separate? I use Gmail.
Also, how do I get my gchat to show up in my messages app? I have it set up but it doesn't show my connections
thanks

Go to Mail>Preferences>Junk Mail: check the settings

Junk Mail staying in Inbox

I have an IMAP account, and the junk filtering has been working fine, but today I have some 90 junk mails in my inbox which, althogh marked as junk, have not been transferred to the junk box, and which I can't transfer or delete manually either.
Oddly, new mails arriving seem to be behaving normally, and new junk is being put in the junk folder.
Anyone got any clues as to how to get rid of these sticky mails?
I have tried various suggestions from this forum, including resetting junk mail, disabling / enabling the junk function.

This isn’t really a junk filter issue, but rather that Mail sometimes has trouble moving messages to another mailbox (I guess because they’re malformed, but don’t really know, as I’ve never experienced that myself). That’s why you cannot delete them by normal means either (i.e. because they cannot be moved to the Trash).
If this is an IMAP account, I suggest quitting Mail and trying to remove the messages from the server by other means. Does this account allow web access? You may need to rebuild the mailbox afterwards, i.e. select it in Mail and do Mailbox > Rebuild.
You may also be able to get rid of those messages in Mail doing Edit > Cut (⌘X) (for best results do it with one message or just a few at a time), but I’d try removing them from the server by other means first.

Junk mail stays in inbox

Hi I have several email accounts and for some reason junk isnt in junk mail folder its in inbox where I dont want to see it.

the same in may case.
I "solved" the problem with adding a rule:
Message is marked as Junk - move to Junk at #Junk-mailbox-of-main-account#
The Rules interface in the the Mail.app Preferences, and it allows to select "Message is Junk mail "(= mail message is marked as Junk).
Maybe, the problem happens when one has more than one Email account?

Junk mail stays in Inbox, in spite of Preference setting

Junk mail is flagged, but remains in Inbox. I set Preference to put junk mail into the Junk mailbox.
I tried un-setting and resetting the Preference.
I tried rebuilding the Inbox.
I tried Perform custom actions to send junk mail to Junk mailbox.
This happened only after I upgraded to Yosemite. It always functioned properly until now.

the same in may case.

Classified junk mail intermittently not moving to junk folder

Hello,
I am running Thunderbird 31.3.0 and all of a sudden the junk mail (which is classified and marked) is not being moved to the junk mail folder intermittently on some of the IMAP accounts setup on Thunderbird.
Again, this problem only intermittently occurs but it seems to happen on the same couple of email accounts. The junk mail is marked and stays in the inbox but does not automatically move to the junk folder. If I unmark one in the inbox and remark it - it moves automatically. if I restart Thunderbird, all newly received junk moves as expected for a time until the problem intermittently start occurring again.

One last thing to try:

Junk Mail no longer goes to junk folder

I am getting mail labeled as Junk in my inbox (it is clearly spam). It used to go directly to my Junk folder, but now is staying in the inbox. (I think it started after going to 10.5.6)
I check preferences, and the box is check to sent it to the junk folder.
How can I get these junk emails not to show up in my Inbox?

do you have your iphone set to recent? You should be able to have all 8 accounts sent to your mail on your mac. You could also set your emails to foward to other accounts.

Junk mail not automatically moved to Junk folder

Hello.
I'm using an IMAP account and have configured Mail to move junk mail to the chosen junk mail folder (junk is not filtered on the server but on my client). Since the junk mail filter is still learning sometimes junk mail is not detected and still goes to the inbox. That's okay.
If I then select that message it is somehow miraculously detected and marked as junk. However, it is not automatically moved to the junk folder but remains in the inbox marked as junk?
Is this desired behaviour? Why is the mail not automatically moved to the junk folder, like it is when I manually mark a mail as junk?
Thanks in advance

I just happened to notice that even mail that is automatically marked as spam/junk remains in my inbox. So I open the inbox folder and there is message that is marked as junk. Only when I manually reset and set the junk status is the message moved to the junk folder.
This seems to be the case in an IMAP acount where all folders (sent, drafts, spam, etc.) are subfolders of the actual inbox folder.
Is anyone else experiencing this behaviour?
Thanks in advance
