Junk "mailbox" keeps appearing in Mac Mail 3.6 (OSX 10.5.8) Any ideas???
Hello all. I am a MobileMe user, synced mail between 2 macs, iPhone, & iPad. In my Mac Mail prefs I have I DO NOT have junk mail filtering checked, I want everything (spam or not) to go to my inbox. There is no junk mail brown paper bag icon on my sidebar. The problem is every once and a while an email will come through and there will then be a folder(mailbox) created called "junk" and that email will show up in that mailbox, that I did not create. I can read the mail, delete it, or do whatever I need to do with it, then delete this "junk" mailbox from my sidebar, but then it might happen again the following week, or not for several months.
Kinda frustrating since it should be set up to put everything in my inbox regardless of sender. Why does my system automatically create this mailbox?
Again there is no brown paper bag on my sidebar, Mac Mail just creates this junk mailbox that shows up right along with my other .mac mailboxes.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Steve
This happens to me too, usually only when I log into my mobileme account via a web browser (which I rarely do), but just a few minutes ago it happened spontaneously when Apple thought some legit mail was junk.
I also sync between two macs and an iPhone (no iPad), and I have junk mail turned off wherever possible (can't find a "turn off junk" option on the iPhone). One other thing, along with a junk folder, I also get a deleted messages and a drafts folder. After checking to make sure they are all empty, I just delete them on whichever mac I am using.
Looks like there is a bug in Apple's software where in some cases they ignore the settings in preferences, then they see that there are not folders that they deem are necessary so they create them for you.
I've tried a few different ideas on how to deal with this, mostly by turning on junk mail and making some rules to put everything in my inbox, but none of them worked well. I think we'll just have to live with this bug. I've seen lots of postings on problems with junk mail for years now, and Apple doesn't seem to be doing anything about it.

Mac mail search function is not working. Any search term returns all records.
Mac mail search function is not working. Any search term returns all records.
hi eric. many thanks.
i will have to read these links closer but what i meant to say is that the hard drive space that was being taken up seemed like it suddenly jumped way up because i had just gotten through a process in the last month where i am storing all my My Documents data on my Mac Pro. i am doing this in order to decide whether i should just keep it ALL on my Mac Pro and use ChronoSync to sync /some/ of it to my MBP.
so if i look in the Documents folder on my Mac Pro i have a ton of folders that i have created with a ton of data. if i look in the Documents folder on my MBP there are NO folders that have data in them that i created. there are other folders such as folders that various software created but what i mean to point out is that there was a LOT of available space on my HD until recently.
i am wondering if there is some way that running the Mail re-index (it then ran some kind of "Importing" routine) or by syncing my Photostream to the MBP caused a huge jump in data on this drive. if it is the photostream sync i can just take this off or see if it will sync more selectively. if it is something to do with mac mail jumping in size i am not sure why this would happen or what to do about it.
does that question make sense?
i mean, before i did these two operations my recollection is that i would have had 130 GB on the hard drive (really just guessing here) and now there is like 218 GB on the hard drive and i don't know where all this came from... -
Hi, i am having trouble with my mac mail account, i cannot send or receive any emails because of the server connection problems. Message says it could not be connected to SMTP server. Thanks in advance for your help.
Hello Sue,
I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!

where did this backup window come from on my desktop. It specifies personal data & settings and tells me when the next backup is scheduled [which I never set up]. I have always used time machine to backup to an external disc and within the last 2 weeks, this backup window keeps appearing. Where did it come from? Thanks for any help
To check your S.M.A.R.T status open disk utility and click on your drive and then click on the info icon.

Is it possible to write in superscript or subscript in mac mail since the OSX Mavericks update? At the moment I have to copy and paste from Pages!
I tried to figure this out myself and couldn't believe there wasn't a simple menu item to get this done. Seems there was in pre-Mavericks but not in Mavericks. Found several answers but they all reply to before Mavercks.
This is helpful and yet I'm left with "Wow! Apple really can make simple things difficult. Who would have guessed." -

Trying to redeem a iTunes card on iPad keeps asking me to log in when already signed in. Any ideas

Meaning enter your username and password?
Are you signed in - Settings>Store>Sign In? Maybe try in the App Store in the bottom left corner - you can access your ID in the featured tab of the App Store - check there.
If you are signed in correctly - try signing out and then sign in again in order to refresh the account information.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in. Then try to redeem the card again. -

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

I have an iPod 2nd gen that keeps having an error code 9 when trying to restore. Any ideas on how to fix?
Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software. -
