Link Functionality in Junk E-Mail Folder

Mail filtered as "junk" is automatically moved to the Junk E-Mail folder and links in the message are disabled as a protective measure. However, if I delete the email, or move it to the Deleted Items folder, the link functionality is fully restored.
Does that not seem unwise? Why would mail in Deleted Items have functional links?

Hi,
In my opinion, Deleted Items folder stores items that you deleted of your own accord. These items are different from Junk emails which could be harmful.
If you are sure that the messages in Junk folder are useless, we can right-click Junk folder and select
Empty Folder to permanently delete the messages instead of moving them to Deleted Items folder. Or, you can hold
Shift key and then click Delete button to permanently deleted items in Junk folder.

Junk E-Mail Folder Disappears with Snow Lepoard

On my Exchange Server, there is a folder called Junk E-Mail. My Exchange server puts spam into that folder. When I used Apple Mail with Exchange in the old Leopard implementation, that folder appeared and I could review junk mail. When I upgraded to Snow Leopard and created a new Mail setup to use Exchange, it pulls in all folders on my account EXCEPT for Junk E-Mail. So, now I cannot see Junk Emails. Is there a solution to this?

i was also somewhat confused by Matt's solution suggested since I too have enterprise-grade exchange service and it has a good spam filter that i would like to keep on.
i did, however, investigate further and found that i can find the junk email folder using the 'Move To' submenu in the 'Message' menu in Mail. just navigate there and you should see the 'junk' folder in the list somewhere.
i have only tested this on my own macbook pro and not sure if it would work for the rest of you but i am using exchange 2007 features pretty smoothly in Mail.
i also confirm that junk emails are included in mail searches.
on a partially related note, msgFiler is a nice little mail plugin that helps move my messages but also is a way of quickly navigating to any folder by entering the first few letters instead of digging through menus and it brought up my junk mail folder when i typed 'junk'.
finally, after you do find the 'junk' folder on the folder list, it should show up in the sidebar after using it once but i am guessing it disappears once you restart Mail.

Duplicate emails in Junk E-Mail folder when running multiple Outlook clients

Has anyone experienced problems when running multiple Outlook clients - and a junk e-mail is received?
We are seeing that when a user is running 3 Outlook clients (2007/2010) - and they received a junk email - Outlook seems to take that email and movie to the folder. However, with 3 clients, there end up being 3 copies of the email.
Mail clients are Outlook 2007/2010 running in native Exchange mode (no IMAP, POP, etc). Server is Exchange 2010 SP1, RU2.
Antivirus is McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.7.0i - but we believe that the problem occurs even with it disabled.

hi, we also faced the same issue.
we had a common mailbox that is accessed from different workstations, and the outlook profile is set to cached mode. when a junk mail is received, it will create duplicates according to the number of outlook clients, as what jbuschmann mentioned. Is this
a known issue in outlook 2010? Understand there's a fix for outlook 2003 for a similar issue, is there a similar fix for outlook 2010? thanks!

"Junk" vs. "Junk E-mail"

I have two folders where junk messages are being filtered and it's a bit annoying to check both. The folders exist in Mail, .Mac Mail, and on my iPhone. Which folder can I delete so that I only have to review junk mail in one place?
Message was edited by: Marshall Durrett

Have you ever accessed your .Mac account with another other email client besides the Mail application on your Mac or with the iPhone's email client?
When I've accessed my .Mac account with Outlook, Outlook creates an additional "Junk E-Mail" folder on the server which is used by Outlook only.
You can remove the "Junk E-Mail" mailbox from the server via .Mac webmail access and designate the "Junk" mailbox to be used by the server for storing messages marked as junk by the server.
This should take care of the rest.

Mail going to the Junk Mail folder but not marked as Junk Mail

Hi,
Hopefully someone can help me. It's something I had done but I don't know what I have done. All of a sudden all my emails from eBay are going directly to my Junk Mail folder, although when I try to click them as 'Not Junk' (Thumbs Up) they are not even selected as Junk Mail and I can still select them to be Junk Mail.
At the moment I'm just dragging them back into the correct folder but it still keeps happening. (I sell a lot on eBay so it's happening quite often).
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Cannot move junk email to Bulk Mail folder in Yahoo, greyed out

I've searched but so far no luck. Ever since I added my two Yahoo email accounts on my iPhone 4, I cannot seem to send junk email from my inbox to my Bulk Mail folder, it is greyed out. First off, I've confirmed that the Bulk Mail folder on my iPhone is the same as my Spam folder in Yahoo mail on the desktop. I can see the same emails in both folders. Anyone have the same experience and found a way to correct this, or is this just a Yahoo limitation?

I am having the same problem, but I'm not very clear on how to follow the steps.
went to my yahoo account in IOS;
hit edit, hit "new mailbox" at the bottom right corner of the screen;
entered a name;
below that, it has "Mailbox Location", I opened it;
it list all my personal folders, I am stuck here.
How do I "point the mailbox location to the Bulk Mail folder", as instructed? Am I missing a step?
This is for iPhone 4S, with the latest released version. Thank you!

Cannot delete item from junk mail folder in iPad?

Some items cannot be deleted from junk mail folder on iPad 2. It will not move to trash.

Have you tried swiping across the message in the preview pane when you open the junk folder instead of opening the email and trying to use the trash can icon?
If that will not work either, try rebooting your iPad and then see if you can delete the junk mail.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

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.

Search function no longer works when Mail folder is encrypted

I posted a reply in another forum that has already been marked as answered...BUT I was not satisfied with the answer...Here is the link to that forum for some context:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6362207&#6362207
And here is basically what I posted there:
This problem is a result of my attempt to put my User/Library/Mail folder onto an encrypted disk image, so that my mail images would be encrypted without having to encrypt my WHOLE Account with FileVault (rendering Time Machine virtually useless). Like many, I had to create a symbolic link from the terminal rather than use the Alias...that wasn't a problem. I can send/receive/read/write email all while it stays safely encrypted on the Sparse disk image that I created (by the way THANKYOU for making creating the sparse BUNDLE image an option, this makes it useable for time machine so it doesn't back up the whole thing)...Mail appeared to work perfectly with my folder in the new location
HOWEVER...I quickly discovered that the search tool in the upper right hand corner of the Mail View no longer works...It will allow me to search the "from", "to" and "subject" lines like any old mail program would, BUT the "Entire Message" option returns on results. There must be something special about the Library folder in my Home folder, because I haven't restricted my spotlight settings. In fact with the disk mounted, I even re-indexed my WHOLE computer just to see what would happen. Spotlight is able to search for FILE names on my encrypted disk, but the search "Entire Message" still doesn't work...are there any solutions? I've spent a great deal of time searching the internet for a solution to no avail. I feel like this question requires a real mac genius, but there are other people throughout other forums posting the same question with no answer. I'm no genius, but I'm not afraid of using Terminal if I'm told the basic gist of what should be typed there. I would love to see his answered fully. Thanks!

Ahhh! The proverbial missing information. Thanks for clarifying. Apple always has plans to fix problems, but their timetable might not meet your expectations. I strongly suggest that you report this to Apple. Send Feedback and send bug reports and enhancement requests via its Bug Reporter system. To do the latter, join the Apple Developer Connection (ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report/enhancement request. The nice thing with this procedure over submitting feedback is that you get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

Junk Mail folder refusing to show messages from a particular account

So, I have a weird problem with Leopard Mail (3.2) - when I click on the junk mail folder, 99% of the time it won't show messages from my Yahoo POP account. The only way I can get messages from this account to show is by expanding the junk mail folder, clicking on a different sub-account, then clicking on my Yahoo account. This will show the messages in its junk folder, and if I click on the combined junk folder they will show up inside it. This will work until I click away from junk - say, to my inbox - at which point the procedure will need to be repeated if I wish to see my Yahoo junk mail.
I've only noticed it very recently, but I'm not sure how long it's been going on. Unbelievably annoying. I deleted the junk folder, no luck. I toggled the account off/on - this seemed to work for a day, but the behaviour's back and I can't make this work again. I rebuilt the mailbox... Even deleted and added the account again, but it still did the same thing.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is it just a bug in Leopard Mail? Something specifically with POP accounts, perhaps? (My 5 IMAP accounts seem fine). If anyone has any further suggestions I'd be really, really grateful.

Ok, so, something in way of an update: Normal behaviour appears to be restored after Mail detects a piece of junk mail and puts it in the junk folder for this account (manual marking of junk doesn't do the trick). Then it works ok until I quit Mail.

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.

On Yahoo Mail, the "insert link" function stopped working

For the past few months, the "insert link" function doesn't work properly when trying to insert a link into a message. It inserts the link in the wrong place. For example if i paste the following text into a message:
Regards,
Jeff
http://mywebsite.com
and then if i highlight the URL, copy it, click the "insert link" icon, and paste the URL, it does something crazy like this:
Regards,http://mywebsite.com Jeff
or it makes the entire 3 lines of text a clickable link, instead of just the URL.
It works fine in Internet Explorer.
Things i've tried in Firefox 26.0:
- disabled all add-ons (then restared browser)
- cleared cache
- cleared all Yahoo cookies
By the way, in Internet Explorer, pasted URLs automatically appear as links in Yahoo Mail without having to click "insert link". I wish Firefox enabled this, because it's very time consuming to manually create lots of links. Any plans for improving this?

I'm struggling to understand the difference between tabbing into the message body and clicking in it. I typed ''I'm mystified!'' and then copied the HTML as of that point. Then I selected mystified and added a link, and copied the new HTML (attributes of the initial div tag removed):
(1) Before adding the link
(A) Tab in
<div>'''I'm mystified!'''<br><br><p id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_13_1390977543218_8"><span><br class="yui-cursor"></span></p><br><div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_13_1390977543218_10"> </div><br><div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_13_1390977543218_12">'''-Jefferson'''</div></div>
(B) Click in
<div><p id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_12_1390977543218_8"><span id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_12_1390977543218_15">'''I'm mystified!'''<br class="yui-cursor"></span></p><br><div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_12_1390977543218_10"> </div><br><div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_12_1390977543218_12">'''-Jefferson'''</div></div>
(2) After adding the link
(A) Tab in
<div>'''I'm''' <a href="http://asdf"><font id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_13_1390977543218_16">'''<u>mystified</u>'''</font></a>'''!'''<br><p id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_13_1390977543218_8"><span><br class="yui-cursor"></span></p><br><div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_13_1390977543218_10"> </div><br><div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_13_1390977543218_12">'''-Jefferson'''</div></div>

Smart Mailbox needs "include Junk Mail Folder" option, seeking work-around

For me it's convenient to have a Smart Mailbox defined simply by "Message is new", as this collects together in one place all the unread messages that I've set rules to put in different mailboxes. While there is an option on the panel for defining Smart Mailboxes to include Trash or Sent in the smart-search, there is no such option to include the Junk mail folder, which I would like to do for a while until I believe it has "learned" well enough what I consider junk or not.
(Apple, take note: If Trash is an option, Junk should be, too!)
Any suggestions for a good work-around? Thanks!

Hello burkeware,
I suggest you send feedback to Apple by filling out the [Feedback Form|http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html>. Maybe they'll incorporate these options in a future version of Mail.
floba
PS: Concerning your "complex criteria". Have you already tried the boolean operators "or" and "not" in the search field? (BTW, two search strings are by default combined with the "and" operator, so there is no need for a separate "and".)
