Mail 2.0.5: Can the confirmation dialog on "Erase Junk Mail" be turned off?

Subject says it all, really. Does anyone know of a way to turn off the confirmation dialog when you Erase Junk Mail in Mail 2.0.5? Maybe some config file I can manually edit or something...?

I'm not sure about a config file that can be manually edited but you can select automatically erase messages in an account's Junk mailbox which is available under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for the preferences for each account and no confirmation dialog will be provided.
The confirmation dialog is only provided when doing a manual Erase Junk Mail.

Erase Junk Mail Not Selectable

When I activate the Perform Custom Actions feature in Mail > Preference >Junk Mail, why does the menu command for Erase Junk Mail immediately become gray? All I want to do is change the color that gets assigned to Junk Mail messages.

Problem solved. If you use iCloud under Mavericks (I do) , rules and signatures are not stored in ~/Library/Mail. They're stored in ~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~mail. When I restored that folder from an earlier Time Machine backup, all of my rules and signatures reappeared.

Please, can you confirm that after erase the phone using the find my iphone all my personal data will be unavailable? Someone stole my iphone 6 on the street

Please, can you confirm that after erase the phone using the find my iphone option, all my personal data will be completely unavailable? Someone stole my iphone 6 + on the street. I have already received a mail from apple confirming that is erased. Can I trust on this message? It really works? my 3G connection was working properly.
Thank you very much

Hey Joangil,
Yes! If you have received an email from Apple stating and confirming that it is erased then you should trust this message. It would have all been removed.
Sorry to hear that your iPhone has been stolen,
Zach

How can I delete ALL of my junk mail at the same time?

Hello I need some help!
I could not check my e-mail for a week and now I have nearly 600 junk mail on my mail box.
I am too busy to delete the junk mail one by one.
Mac wizard, please tell me how to delete all the junk mail at once!

Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.

Feature Request: Option to not require confirmation of erasing Junk Mail

Many (maybe most) choices that bring up a confirmation dialog allow the user to bypass the dialog by pressing the Option key. I hope that this capability will be extended to erasing Junk Mail in the Mail app (and, wishing here) to erasing deleted items as well. In all the years I've been using the Mac and supporting Mac users, I have only encountered two instances where the confirmation got a cancellation of the erasure and requiring the Option key to bypass would not have affected those users. Meanwhile, the rest of us have to grab our pointing device to confirm, since Cancel is the default. Lots of wasted motion for an infinitesimal safeguard.

Post at Apple Feedback.

Disable "Erase Junk Mail" and "Erase Deleted Items" Confirmation

Does anyone know of a way to disable the confirmation dialoge box that appears when you right-click on an account in Mail 5.2 and select "Erase Junk Mail" or "Erase Deleted Items"? I've tried holding down Option and then selecting the item, but that doesn't remove the confirmation dialoge.
I'd like to remove the confirmation dialoge completely as it just adds an extra step to something that is otherwise a quick operation to clear out junk mail.

For what type of account - IMAP or POP?
If a POP account, quit Mail first and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail > this POP account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account) > Junk.mbox.
Delete the Junk.mbox and empty the Trash. This will delete the account's Junk mailbox and all junk messages within.
Launch Mail, and a new Junk.mbox will be created automatically within the account named folder when the next message received is automatically or manually marked as junk and moved to the account's Junk mailbox.
Test if this resolve the problem.

Accidental damage is not covered under Apple warranty. And it seems there is much accidental damage. Only a Genius Bar tech looking at it can tell how much it will cost to repair.
Cost to repair will be high, I suspect (though Genius Bar will confirm/deny.
There is no gentle way to say this sir/ma'am ... someone will need to pay for your friend's MBA repairs.

How can I permanently change color of junk mail listing to black?

How can I permanently change color of my junk mail listings? It is light brown and difficult to read.

I'm trying to do the same...no problem choosing the color, but when I used an advanced rule, I no longer have the option in a drop down menu to "erase junk mail". Seems like any combination of an advanced junk mail rule wipes out the option to erase junk mail, and I don't want mail to automatically delete my junk email. I tried outting a stop evaluating after the text color, but that didn't work.

I want to give away or sell a 6500/250 running 7.6.1. How can the hard disk be erased so that the data are gone, not recoverable? thanks, LifeisRich

I'd recommend that you check for Mac User Group(s) in Orange County. That's where you'd likely find a diehard Mac fanatic who might want to add your 6500 to his/her collection. Even if you got nothing for it, it would be better than e-cycling it. I upgraded my 6500/275 with what was a "large" hard drive at the time (15 GBs), maxed the memory at 128 MBs, installed the 512K L2 cache card, a better ATI Rage Pro PCI graphics card, a USB PCI card, and an internal 56K modem. With it running OS 9.1, it did all of the pre-OS X stuff I needed it to do. As I previously mentioned, it's a nice-sounding MP3 player. Internet Explorer 5.1.7 (the final release from 2001) kept it useful for surfing the web up until 2005, when it became too outdated/incompatible with many web sites. Unfortunately, the demands of the internet and the need for a modern browser, as well as faster processing to digest it all, are what retired many older Macs from active duty. So my (2) 6500s and (3) 6400s (same tower design) sit in storage. There is one concern that I'll pass along: The motherboard has a 4.5-volt alkaline battery, that's a small, black plastic cube, secured in place by velcro. If your 6500 has been disconnected from electricity for a long time, the battery will undoubtedly be dead. Unlike the many Apple computers that used a small ½AA lithium battery (that I've never seen leak when completely dead), the 6500's battery can and usually does start leaking. Because the motherboard sits vertically oriented on its side edge when installed, the leaking battery will drip alkaline solution down the board, corroding any components in it path. I've seen motherboards ruined from this. If you're going to give it away or sell it, you might want to pull the motherboard (remove the two machine screws on the rear I/O panel, next to the pull tabs). Slide out the board and unplug the battery's small connector (has red & black wires), then lift up on the battery, while holding down the "toothed" velcro mount with something non-conductive, like a popsicle stick. Once it's free, dispose of the battery. If you're interested, a replacement can be purchased for about $5-$7 from battery specialty retailers - it's a Rayovac 870 or 871. Even if you don't replace it, removing one that will eventually leak is a good idea, (hopefully) before any damage is done.

After I connect with my iPhone (3GS 5.0.1) to any Ad-hoc wireless Network then walk away out of the reach of my wifi network, my iPhone can't find any wifi Network afterwards, only by turning off the iPhone completely and turning on again.

switching off wifi and on again or going into airplane mode did't help!
This problem happens only with ad-hoc wifi networks not with normal ones.
(Ad-Hoc network was created on XP Computer)

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Sorry, but the 169.x.x.x IP address is internally generated by the iPod (and iPhone) and indicates that a network has been detected but no IP address has been issued. Your friends iPhone was not connected to your ad hoc network either - it connected to the internet through the 3G network.
You should read through the Vista help screens on ad hoc networking for some insight how this works. You should be able to get some ideas there.
In the mean time, $40 or less will buy you a very capable wireless router with four Ethernet ports and will simplify your network tremendously. Having used Windows ICS for a long time, the addition of a router and a real network simplified things so much.

Why is "erase junk mail" de-highlighted in the drop down menus. I'm not able to delete my junk mail box without doing each one individually. Simple, but please someone help with an answer. Thanks.

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

"Erase Junk Mail" 10.7 Mail Grayed Out

For the last few months, maybe even since I upgraded to 10.7 from 10.6 several months ago, I have noticed that the "Erase Junk Mail" under "Mailbox" is grayed out even though there are emails in the junk mail folder.
Also when I go to search I no longer can select, or even find, the "From" option.
It's most likely me just not seeing it.
I have rebuilt all the folders.
Thanks for your help.

Found the problem myself in another thread.
"The problem was that I was playing with the Junk Mail preferences to improve the junk mail filter and accidentally selected "Perform custom actions"."

"Erase Junk Mail" grayed out

When I want to delete the mail in my Junk mailbox, the "Erase Junk Mail" option is grayed out. The "Erase Deleted Messages" option works fine for the other mailboxes. Anyone know how I can fix this problem? Now I have to "select all" and then delete, and that's a three-step pain.

if you select the main junk mailbox, the delete button is greyed out, so you have to select a specific junk mailbox associated with an email account of yours. If that does not work then try the following:
1) quit mail, reboot computer, launch mail again, does that solve the problem?
if does not help then
2) launch mail, select each of your junk mailboxes, not the main one, then go to mailbox>rebuild and rebuild each of these junk mailboxes
if does not help then
3) go to applications>utilities>disk utility and repair permissions - may take awhile to let the process run its course
if does not help, then let me know
hope this helps

Cannot erase junk mail

The option "Erase Junk Mail..." is disabled ever since I upgraded to Leopard. How can I re-enable it?

can you select the specific junk mailboxes, one at a time, and then go to mailbox>rebuild, and see if that clears up the issue.
hope this helps
