Mail Filter Question

I want to generate a rule, or an action, or a script, whatever it will take, to do the following:
Get all new mail from several accounts
Identify new mail that is Not Junk
Forward these messages to another address
Continue processing other rules
I've looked over the message rule list and there doesn't seem to be a "message is not junk" option. I've looked at automator, but I"m pretty stupid at finding a way to run these things automatically and periodically. And scripts are a total mystery.
Anyone out there care to enlighten me?
G5 Dual Core 2.3 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

You'd probably have to create a separate rule that looks at the mail in each of your accounts and evaluates how old it is, and if that (or those) criteria are met for each account, then they get forwarded to a specific email address.
For example:
If all of the following criteria are met:
Date Recieved is less than ? days old
Account is (name of your account)
Perform the following actions:
Forward Message to [email protected]
You would then have to go back and select the messages you want that rule to apply to now (today) and use the contextual menu to apply that rule. From then on, the rule should apply automatically on new mail received. You may have to rearrange the order of your various rules (not the criteria in them) to have this rule apply before some of the others.
I'm not sure why you'd have to move mail to other folders with a rule, since your Inbox has a separate folder for each account you have setup.

  • Verizon Blackberry Internet Service Client (BIS)- How to create an e-mail Filter

    Hello. Thank you in advance for replying to my question. I am trying to create an e-mail filter so that a contact's e-mail messages do not get delivered to my BB and instead just go straight to my regular e-mail account. I understand that you can do this function from the BIS, however when I tried to create an account I received a message that said "please use your device to access the BIS." I did just as the message told me but I did not get the same menu options from my BB as I would have gotten from doing it from the internet. The page only showed a list of my e-mails and an "edit" and "delete" choice for each one. There was no "Filter" button for me to click. I remember a while ago I able to access this page and was able to remove the BB signature (i.e.. "This message is being sent from a BB"), so I know that it was possible to access this page. I do not know why I am not able to accesses it now.               
    If anyone out there has Verizon and knows how to access the BIS, please let me know how. Or if you know how to create an e-mail filter function, please let me know.
    Thank you,
    Fred

    Hi there!
    To log into your BIS account from a PC/browser (not the BB browser), go to this URL:
    https://bis.na.blackberry.com/html?brand=vzw
    Enter your BIS credentials and you will then be in your BIS account screen. From there, use this KB to create the filter you desire:

  • 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.

  • What's up with the Junk Mail Filter (all messages in Sent)??

    Hi,
    I've seen this question asked in a few different threads, but many of them seem to be dated back to September or October. Was wondering if there was any new light someone could shed on this:
    I have a client who reported that all of her Sent Mail was going into the Junk Mail folder - and that she needs to "unmark" it before she can send it.
    She is getting really frustrated by this, but I can see she's not the only one.
    I reset her Junk Mail database a couple of days ago, but that did not help - now everything she sends is getting labeled as such.
    I haven't seen a definitive workaround or fix for this - does one exist? Or does a rule have to be created in mail that says "any mail from <user@domain> is not junk"?
    She is running an iMac G5 with 10.4.3.
    Thanks!

    The fix was: Turn off Junk Mail filter
    quit mail
    turn on junk mail filter
    (and reset database for good measure)

  • Junk mail filter doesn't work all the time

    Why doesn't the Junk mail filter work all the time? I click on mail like from Best Buy or Omni Hotels to go into junk mail but hardly any of their mail goes into Junk. Other sites go directly to Junk. If I click on a Best Buy mail to indicate it's Junk, shouldn't that work 100% of the time forever and ever?

    The Junk filter is based on an analysis of the content of the message. It ignores the sender. (Filtering based on the sender is an ineffective way of dealing with true spam, since spammers use constantly-changing spoofed addresses.)
    If you don't want mail from a legitimate sender like Best Buy, unsubscribe from their ads. If that doesn't work, make a Rule to delete or move the messages.

  • 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 Lion: Any Better or Still Mediocre?

    The junk mail filter in Mail is not that great. I have several domains that I receive mail from and I get about 90 false negatives per day. I select the spam generally and mark as junk mail, but that seems to do nothing. The same sender/same subject/etc. seems to get through every time. It does catch a lot of spam, but the effectiveness of "mark as junk mail". I am not convinced that marking the spam has any effect at all - maybe I shouldn't bother.
    I am still running snow leopard and haven't upgraded to Lion. I am wondering if Lion has better permanent spam erradication.
    thanks
    JIim

    Sigh... Jeffery and Michael, you are like the Apple Support people... you simply do not comprehend what is happening or what people are talking about.
    First off, the O'Reilly article is from 2004... that's 7 years ago. If you want to believe that OSX has not changed in 7 years, that's your perogative, but it is clearly not in tune with reality. Nor with what Apple is selling. The article may or may not still be accurate... there is no way of knowing.
    It would be nice if the Junk mail filter actually worked the way the O'Reilly article describes. I believe that it did back in Panther, when the article was written. And it might have still worked that way in Snow Leopard, but I do not believe it did. The last I remember it working the way the article describes it was in Leopard. Under Lion, the Junk mail filtering is simpy NOT WORKING -- period.  It can't even recognize Junk mail flagged by either me.com or gmail.com.... despite "Trust junk mail headers in messages" being selected.... and BOTH of those sites have no problem flagging junk mail.
    Second. Yeah, mail rules "sort of" work. The problem with them under Lion, the same as it was under Snow Leopard, is that they are simply NOT applied until you make a change to the rules and get the "apply rules" pop-up. The impression I get from Apple Support's non-responses is ... they are not supposed to be applied "automatically." Or, "they are working as intended," not as expected!
    Tony's response is the most useful one I've seen so far.

  • Junk mail filter not working properly

    About two weeks ago mail started marking lots of messages as "Junk". Even messages (reminders) I send myself are marked as junk. This is entirely new and I don´t have a clue of what triggered the change in behavior.
    I have turned off the junk mail filtering, but that is not my preferred solution.
    Any hints on what might be going on?

    I too have a problem with junk mail, but it is a little different. Every time I click junk mail for a mail message that is junk, nothing happens. What I mean by this is that the same emails from the same sources continue to come into my inbox without being filtered out. Is there some setting that I need to check to have mail filter out my junk?

  • How to customize junk mail filter?

    Is there a way to filter all mail coming from a particular email address? I am daily bombarded by multiple annoying messages from the same address, and mark them junk mail manually. However, Mail does not learn it and new messages keep on coming. It appears that it would be very easy for the program to filter out all messages from senders who were previously identified as spammers, but for some reasons this is not the case. The existing custom junk mail filter is almost useless, because the only advanced option is to mark mail junk if ALL custom conditions are met, and no way to add a specific person to the black list. Actually there is no black list at all, which would be the most obvious way to organize junk mail filter.
    Does anybody know how to make Mail learn to filter messages that I mark junk?

    The Junk filter is based on an analysis of the content of the message, not on the sender's address. If you want to filter based on address, use a Rule.
    True spam comes from frequently changing addresses, and often appears to come from legitimate addresses, so basing the filter on address would be ineffective.
    For a semi-technical discussion of the Junk filter, see http://macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2004/05/18/spam_pt2.html

  • Where is Tiger junk mail filter pref file located?

    I apologize for the redundant post...I posted this in the Tiger/Mail forum but haven't gotten a reply.
    I had to reinstall Mail from scratch after I upgraded to Leopard.
    Can anyone tell me where the 10.4 junk mail filter pref file is located so I can try and drag it over to my Leopard install and save me the time of physically replicate the filer file.

    There is no preference file but the file that stores all Junk Mail "learned" settings is the LSMMap2 file located at Home > Library > Mail > LSMMap2.

  • Can't log in since junk mail filter

    Since following the instructions on the improved junk mail filter, I cannot

    Hi Fern,
    What instructions did you follow?

  • Junk mail filter doesnt work.. what do I do?

    Back when I was in 10.3.9, I was using Mail ever since we got this G5.. but then the Junk mail filter stopped working and Mail always hung whenever I was sent an EPS graphic.. so I said screw this and moved to Entourage. Been using that, but the Junk mail filter in THAT has stopped working.. and its annoying me. So.. I recently upgraded to 10.4.7 (now to .8) and I figured I would give Mail a try again. So, I load it up, it moves all my mail and accounts over.. fine. But the junk mail filter still seems to not be able to recognize all the spam crap I get as junk mail. What do I do?

    Try this.
    Go to Mail > Preferences > Junk Mail.
    Deselect "Enable junk mail filtering".
    Quit and re-launch the Mail.app.
    Go to Mail > Preferences > Junk Mail.
    Reselect "Enable junk mail filtering" and then select the Reset button at the bottom of the Junk Mail preferences window to completely reset the Junk Mail "learned" settings.
    You can leave Junk Mail set to automatic when doing so. Using the Reset feature should work and the filter must be retrained but the filter learns quickly or should when working properly.
    Regarding EPS graphic files, these have been known to cause problems with the Mail.app since the Mail.app displays all image/photo and single page PDF attachments inline or viewed in place within the body of the message which cannot be turned off.
    If you receive EPS graphic files on a regular basis, take a look at Mail Attachments Iconizer.

  • Mail filter not functioning in IDA

    IDA version: 1.2
    Messaging Server: 5.2 Patch 2
    I tried to set mail filter with IDA, but the filter does not seems to be working. I tried to set the File To Folder, but email is not being delivered to the specified folder.
    I check the message header, the original-recipient has change to uid+folder@ims-ms-daemon, however the email is not being File to Folder xxx ..
    Any suggestion.

    Sieve filters cannot create a folder, that folder has to exist, and it must have permissions on that folder to allow such delivery. (That's IMAP ACI). Otherwise, the message will be delivered just to the inbox.
    Sounds like your filter is working fine, but the folder either doesn't exist, or doesn't have permissions to allow sieve to deliver to it.

  • Email Filter Question

    Hi All,
    I have seen this topic a lot, so apologies for posting again, however I can't seem to get the solution here.  I want to set up an e-mail filter, and my Curve 8520 doesn't have the filter option on it.  I gather that I have to do it online with my PC, so I went to the website, and it rejected my PIN saying my account is not accesible from HTML browser, and that I should access it from my device.  I can't seem to make it work either way, any suggestions would be appreciated.
