Junk mail in Yosemite.

Since installing Yosemite (10.10) on my iMac my Mail app (8.0 1990.1) has become unusable.  The majority of my good mail gets delivered into my Junk folder.
Having read many forums on similar issues, I have reset the Junk mail filters in Preferences several times, I have marked mail as 'Not junk', I have 'Applied rules' telling Mail that the email is not junk, but all to no avail.  The majority of good mail continues to end up in Junk.
Is there a solution to this issue, another third party Mail app beckons!

I haven't tried this myself.

  • Dimmed "Erase Junk Mail" in Yosemite Mail app

    Even though my Junk mailbox is full the Mailbox-> "Erase Junk Mail" menu is dimmed. Tried Mailbox Rebuild menu with no luck. Any ideas?

  • Help.  My junk mail filter is not working in Yosemite.

    AAny suggestions for getting junk mail filters to work?

    Well, after the latest update to Yosemite (version 10.10.2 (14C109)) Junk Filters seem to be working again.  In the latest update I did not see mention of changes to Mail filters but i could have missed a note from Apple.
    One caution, I have had to double check the junk mail folder a bit because the Junk Mail filter has restarted as if from the beginning.  That is it has to relearn everything.

  • Junk mail filter in yosemite doesn't work. i can't find the 'mark as junk' selection or 'remove from previous recipients' which would help to filter out spam.

    junk mail filter in yosemite doesn't work. from the flags, i can't find the 'mark as junk' selection. Formerly clicking on the email address in question would allow one to 'remove from previous recipients' which would help to filter out spam. I've adjusted all the settings under mail preferences, but that is not helping.

    Hello Diane162,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you would like to be able to filter some of the junk mail that you are receiving in Mail. The attached article has a lot of great information on junk mail filtering, including how to mark as junk and adjust the junk filter.

    Yes, it is a problem.

  • Why does junk mail return after it is deleted? Mail Version 8.1 on MacBookPro9,1 Yosemite 10.10.1

    The junk mail box always is refilled with messages even after I've deleted them.

    If it is an IMAP account, try Mail/Preferences/Accounts/Mailbox Behaviors and un-check Store junk messages on the server.

  • How can I remove the junk mail folder from appearing in my macbook mail program?

    Hi all
    Can someone please tell me how I can remove the "junk" mailbox from showing in my mail program on my macbook? It wasn't there before and I would like it removed. I've attached a screen shot to be clearer in my request.
    Thank you!

    Hey PrincessJasmine,
    I see that you wish to get rid of the Junk Mail folder from your sidebar in Mail on OS X. I have an article for you that will explain how to do this:
    Choose Mail > Preferences, then click Junk Mail. Make sure “Enable junk mail filtering” and “Mark as junk mail, but leave it in my Inbox” are selected.

  • Is Mail really "Learning" my junk mail?

    I've read various forum threads about training Mail. I might not be doing it right, but I mark spam messages as Junk, and they go to the junk box. It seems I get repeats though, from the same sender, or same subject. Which tells me, it's not doing anything, or, i don't have it set up right. I get a ton of spam though, and it drives me nuts. I switched to Thunderbird on a PC for a couple months, and surprisingly, didn't get but one a day. I finally received my new Macintosh, and really want to use Mail, but all of these spams just drive me crazy.
    Here's what I've done so far:
    - We use Postini on our server. All levels are set as high as can go.
    - I started creating "rules" for every single spam that came in, but I couldn't keep up. I must have 50 of them created, and I still get 30-50 spams a day.
    - Now, I mark them all as "Junk" but it still doesn't deter any of these spams. Fortunately, some of the spam emails do go directly into Junk mail, but not as many as I wish did.
    I see there are paid add-ons you can use for Mail. I find it hard to believe that there isn't a way using Mail, to at least cut down on all of these spams. If Thunderbird can do it for free, I'd bet there's a way to do it in Mac Mail.. I'm probably just not doing something right. Any ideas would help. Thanks!

    Hi grannysmith.nc,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are seeing with regard to junk mail in Mail under Yosemite. I'm unclear if it is not marking junk mail at all, or if it is marking it but simply not moving it to the Junk mail folder. If it is the latter (not moving), it may be as simple as changing the settings as outlined in the following article under Change the junk mail filter:
    Mail (Yosemite): Reduce junk mail in your inbox
    If Mail isn't recognizing junk mail at all, you might find these articles more useful:

  • Mail in Yosemite puts incoming mails in spam, even the sender is in my contacts.

    mail (Yosemite) puts incoming mails in spam, even the sender is in my contacts.

    Hello martinamm,
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. I understand that you have some mail that is automatically being filtered to spam, even though the contacts are in your address book. The following resource provides a few more steps you can attempt to resolve this:
    Mail (Yosemite): If junk mail filters aren’t working correctly
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19190
    If messages are incorrectly marked as junk
    There are several ways you can prevent Mail from incorrectly marking legitimate messages as junk.
    - Tell Mail that a message is legitimate by marking it as not junk. Click Not Junk in the banner of the message; or select the message, then click the Not Junk button in the Mail toolbar.
    - Add the sender to the Contacts app. For more information, see Save addresses, events, passes, and more.
    - Review your junk mail settings in Mail preferences, as well as any rules you might have created to handle junk mail, and make changes as necessary.
    Cheers,

  • Erase Junk Mail Button greyed out

    In Yosemite, 10.10.1 with mail 8.1 (1993) the Erase Junk Mail options are greyed out, both in the menu and the action menu at the bottom left of the mail viewer window. I cannot figure out how to get it back. I've rebuilt my mailboxes. It happens on all of the accounts. I have an iCloud account, a gmail account and several pop accounts.

    I had this problem and was able to solve it by enabling junk mail filtering.  I had it turned on before in Mavericks, but apparently that setting didn't come over for some reason or other.  Mail > Preferences > Junk Mail > Checked the box next to Enable junk mail filtering  I personally like the When junk mail arrives:  Move it to the Junk mailbox, so I selected the appropriate radio button for that as well.  Good Luck and hope this helps!  

  • 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.
    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 Filtering????

    This isn't working on iPhone 6 or MBA. Software updates have been informed on both devices.
    Am I correct in saying that you have designate the mail as junk on my MBA and then that filters throught to the iPhone?
    Many thanks

  • Junk Mail working on Mac but not iPhone

    Hi,
    Using Mail on Yosemite, I keep getting annoying spam which I add to my Junk mail rules. It automatically goes to junk on my Mac but always goes to my Inbox on Mail on my iPhone.
    Any reason why? It's quite annoying!

    OK. Since this started happening after installing the Mac OS X 10.4.7 Update, let's make sure that the update is installed properly before proceeding any further.
    Verify/repair your disk first (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, reinstall the update using the Combo installer:
    Mac OS X 10.4.7 Combo Update for PPC
    Mac OS X 10.4.7 Combo Update for Intel
    Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
    Troubleshooting installation and software updates
    Installing software updates
    Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update, and no applications should be running while installing it.

  • Thunderbird fails to send email when "Scan email for junk mail" option is checked in Server Admin

    I have 2 clients that need to send mail through my server, one Mac and one Windows. The Mac uses apple mail and the Windows machine uses Thunderbird.
    Apple Mail will send fine, it is set up for "Use Default ports 25, 465, 587" and "Use SSL" and "Authentication: MD5 Challenge-response".
    Thunderbird refuses to send and I don't even see any errors showing up in the Console on the OS X server under smtpd entries.
    If I uncheck the "Scan email for junk mail" option on the server, then Thunderbird will send fine.
    Thunderbird is set up as: "smtp port 587 (default)" "connection security: STARTTLS" "Authentication method: Encrypted Password"
    May or may not be relevant: I use virtual domains as well as aliases.
    Server: Mac OS X Server version 10.5.8

    Solved it, looks like maybe the smtpd settings for sasl authentication may not have been correct. I followed everything in http://osx.topicdesk.com/content/view/38/41/ the "Frontline Spam Defense for OS X server" guide and now can send mail just fine from Thunderbird Winodws and from Apple Mail.

  • How can I migrate my junk-mail settings from one Mac to another?

    I would like to move my junk mail settings from one Mac to another. I found this article (https://kb.siteground.com/how_to_synchronize_the_junk_email_settings_in_mac_mail /), but can't locate the file indicated in the article, so I suspect that the article is out of date (though it's not dated).
    Both machines - MacOS 10.9.5; Mail 7.3.
    Any insights much appreciated!
    Best,
    Doug

    Make your user library visible and see if you can find it.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library.
