Junk Mail Question

I have my junk mail filter enabled and it appears to be working OK as far as filtering. However, I have two mailboxes and can't get the junk filter to put junk mail into the correct mailbox; i.e., all incoming junk mail is being delivered to one mailbox rather than be directed to the appropriate incoming junk mail box. What do I need to do?
Thanks

The email you are receiving contains your email address in the bcc field, which is only visible to the sender of the message. This method is sometimes used for spam and legitimate mail to hide the email addresses of the other recipients.

Yes, a Junk Mail question

Hi,
I'm unable to cope with all the junk mail on my iphone. I'm looking to have a setup just like mail on my computer. If there is a link to a way to set up something I'd appreciate it. I'm surprised that mail on the iphone does not have this ability, but I'm sure there is a good reason.
Thanks,
John

It is a problem. The only fix at the moment is to forward your mail through an account that has server-side junk filtering such as Gmail (Google Mail).

As a new user I received an answer to my question but how do I stop the barrage of incoming mail - local advisor suggested Junk mail, but is this the answer?

In addition to Corky's suggestion on the right hand side of your profile page is this box:
Click Manage email notifications. This manages any current email notifications you are receiving.

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

Question: Junk Mail: How to extract groups of emails to add to blocked senders.

Hi Ernie
I need to find a way to extract lists of emails from Junk mail folder and add them en masse to blocked senders, without having to add them to my blocked senders one by one.
I have had the same email address for too long to change it, but I receive huge amounts of junk mail. I have so far barred nearly 2000 senders and have 1100 sitting in my junk folder form the last week. I barred them one by one, using RULES function...I simply cannot keep doing this.
I have MacBook Pro running Mavericks, plus iPad plus iPhone 5.
The problem is aggravated by the fact that Apple has a weakness in Mail: I may bar thousands of senders on my Mac, but the filter does not sync the barred addresses to my iPad or iPhone, so if I use Mail on either, I get many thousands of emails at once and have to mark them one by one to delete. It's ridiculous.
To solve this problem, I have decided to do is block all the senders in webmail.
However I still have the same problem with extracting multiple addresses from my junk mail folder in order to copy them into blocked senders list.
Genius Bar said it can't be done. I think they're wrong. There simply as to be (a) a location on my Mac where I can find a list of all those I have already barred; (b) a way to extract email addresses from groups of received mail.
I'd be grateful for some advice, please.

Is there nobody ot there who has a solution to my problem, please?

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.

Junk Mail & Yahoo Group Question

Using Mail with Snow Leopard, .mac.com email account. I belong to a Yahoo group and mail from the group is consistently marked as junk and moved to the junk folder. I have a rule set up to move mail with the standard [Name of Group] in the subject line to a folder for that group. If I set junk mail to filter after running rules, those emails are handled properly, but I get tons of junk mail. If I set junk mail to filter before running rules, mail from the group are incorrectly marked as junk. I have to add each individual to my address book, not something that's simple to do, since the group is quite large. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I would simply use the current rule that works like you want up to a certain point and then add a delete and stop.

How do i stop certain emails from going to junk mail

Can't get rid of pesky junk mail

I use the Apple Mail Version 6.5 (1508) application for my emails. I have found the Junk Mail feature to be very helpful. If I label a message "Junk," It is treated as junk when I receive the same message later on. However, there is one pesky junk mail that is being sent to me about 5 times per week that ignores the junk mail label and does not go to the trash. After labeling it Junk several times, I gave up and went to the Rules function and made a rule that, when it is received, it is to be deleted. That works just fine on my Mac, but I know it is still being sent because it still shows up on the email app on my iPhone.
Questions:
1. Why doesn't Mail succeed in tagging that message as Junk so that it will go to Junk Mail like all the other stuff?
2. Is there anything I can do to force that message to Junk Mail? I'd rather not have to use Rules to get rid of it.
3. Is there any kind of Junk Mail filter available for an iPhone 4S that runs on iOS 6.1.3? I've submitted that to Apple as a suggestion, but, of course, I've had no reply.
Thanks for any assist you can give.

I went to my provider's web site and set my email Rule to delete any message containing the unique name used in the sender. So far the string of emails has stopped, but sometimes spammers take holidays off, so I'll wait to see what happens later, but I'm really excouraged as of now. Thanks again for the suggestion.

OS X 10.5.6 Junk Mail Folder won't let me see inside

I posted this question already this morning but the post is now missing.... I need help. I deleted a tabbed folder attached to the junk mail folder without realizing that that folder was the junk mail folder for my account. Now, I can see that there is Junk mail (it says 25) but when I hit the Junk Mail folder icon, it shows that folder is missing.... I need to get the 2 re-connected so that I can see the contents of this folder.
If I go to the Finder and open the Junk Mail folder in my user/lib/mail account, I can view the junk mail if I drag them over the Mail application icon.
How can I get the Junk mail folder "reintialized" ?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Lori
I can't get any lower than my documents folder. I have multiple folders inside my documents folderFirstly, I take it you have clicked the disclosure triangle to the right of the "Save As" box? This should then show you a list of folders. Double click on one, and you'll see it's content, including other folders that you can double click, to as low a level as you like.
Is there something I need to set in System Preferences?No, this should be standard behaviour.

Why doesn't mail put my junk mail in my junk mailbox

Since I started using 10.9.2, the Mail program has misbehaved much less and I have been able to return to using it from Gmail. However, it puts all my junk mail (which it SAYS is junk mail) in my Inbox instead of the junk mailbox - even though I have instructed it in Preferences to move it to the Junk mailbox. Why? What can I do to correct this?

Can't anyone come up with an answer to this question? I'd be very grateful for any ideas.

Can't see mail in the Junk mail folder

I have my mac set to automatically send junk mail to a junk mail box. All of a sudden I can no longer see the mails in the folder. It is showing the number of emails in there but when I click on the junk icon it shows zero. I can not do a rebuild because it is not highlighted when I click on Mailbox.

Rosieb,
Don't worry about not being knowledgeable about what's going on here. Answering the questions you're being asked and providing all relevant information is critical to properly troubleshoot the problem, though, and you don't need to be knowledgeable on computer issues to do that, just follow the instructions, answer all questions, and ask for any clarifications or if there is something you don't feel comfortable with.
If you look at the Junk icon in the mailboxes drawer in Mail, you should see a black triangle to the left. Clicking on it should reveal the individual Junk mailbox of each of the accounts. You can now select these one at a time, identify which is the one that has the problem, and rebuild it if necessary.
It could very well be, however, that the problem is what Ernie is suggesting, i.e. the .mbox suffix is missing from the Junk mailbox name in the Finder, and that's the reason you cannot do Mailbox > Rebuild on this particular mailbox, in which case you must follow Ernie's instructions to fix it.

Junk mail exceptions for domains

I've searched the forums and cannot find an answer to my question.
Leopard Mail marks a lot of my good mail from school as junk. Is there anyway to keep Mail from marking all emails from "@school.edu" as junk? The school email system already has a pretty good spam filter on it, and so 99.99% of the emails from "@school.edu" are legitimate.
Might a rule fix this? I can't figure out how I would structure it.

I was just hoping to give this thread a bump, see if there was an answer, even a "No, it's not possible."
I have the same issue, a lot of school e-mails get marked as junk, and it makes me cautious to enable junk mail filtering so that I don't lose important e-mails. I was surprised that "Mark" as "Not Junk" wasn't an available option for the filtering rules.
Any help is appreciated!

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.

Junk mail-why don't I have an option for Is junk mail in messages flag not junk mail

I have a brown coloured email which has been accurately diagnosed as junk mail, but when I go to Messages>flag>...the only two options I have are "not junk mail" and "mark as unread" yet in the help support it says that it should have "junk mail" there too. So far I cant mark it as junk mail - so I usually just delete them. Any advice please? Thank you.

Have you studied Mail prefernces? If not, go to Mail > preferences > Junk mail and check out the options there. Alternately, click on the 'info' question mark and follow up anything you are currently unsure of.
