Mail is marking all my email as Junk

Mail is suddenly marking all my email as junk. Even email from senders I've got in my Address Book. What can I do? I have not changed any settings
Thanks for your help.

Have you tried resetting both the junk rule and the junk filter database? The Reset button in Preferences > Junk Mail only resets the latter...
You may get rid of the file where rules are stored so that Mail creates it anew as follows:
1. If you have a .Mac account and .Mac synchronization of Mail data is enabled either in Mail > Preferences > General or in System Preferences > .Mac, disable it before proceeding.
2. Quit Mail if it’s running.
3. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/.
4. Move any MessageRules.plist (Mail 2.x) and/or MessageSorting.plist (Mail 1.x) files to the Desktop. This is where Mail stores all the rules, including the rule that governs what the junk filter does.
5. Open Mail. As a result of having removed the rules files, the junk filter will be disabled now. You may want to either tell Mail to go offline immediately after opening it, or shut down the Internet connection before opening Mail, to prevent it from downloading anything until the junk mail filter has been enabled again.
6. Go to Preferences > Junk Mail and enable junk filtering.
7. Go online again if you went offline in step 5.
8. If the problem is fixed now and .Mac synchronization of Mail data was enabled at the beginning, enable it again, go to System Preferences > .Mac > Advanced, click Reset Sync Data, and choose the appropriate options to reset the Mail data stored on the .Mac server with the data locally stored on the computer, i.e. sync data must flow from the computer to the .Mac server.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

  • Mail is marking all Sent messages as Junk

    Mail is marking all my Sent messages as Junk. In addition, any mail I send myself arrives in the Junk folder.
    Also annoying is that some new messages received (about 50%) arrive in the Inbox marked as Read.
    MacBook Pro Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    For the Junk Mail problem.
    Go to Mail > Preferences > Junk Mail.
    Deselect "Enable junk mail filtering"
    Quit and relaunch Mail.
    Go to Mail > Preferences > Junk Mail and reselect
    "Enable junk mail filtering". Select Reset to reset
    the Junk Mail "learned" settings and you can leave
    Junk Mail set to Automatic when doing so.
    For the new messages received being marked as read,
    for what type of account - .Mac, IMAP or POP?
    Thanks! I've reset as you suggested. Hopefully that will be effective.
    I'm using a Pop account.

  • Adding Corporate E-Mail Disclaimer to all outgoing email

    I need to configure our mail server to add an E-Mail disclaimer to all outgoing email. Can someone point me to the relevant documenation or assist me with this request.
    We are running Sun Messaging Server 6.1 HotFix 0.11.
    I should state that I am a novice with Messaging server.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    You can start here:
    http://blogs.sun.com/factotum/entry/messaging_server_and_email_disclaimers
    Also note the version of messaging server you are running is extremely old, you should be looking/planning to upgrade in the near future. Version 6.3 adds milter capabilities, which if you were running this version the following document would be relevant to your request:
    http://msg.wikidoc.info/index.php/Add_Footer_to_All_Outgoing_Mail
    I should also add that Messing Server is not for the faint-of-heart (it's complex) so I recommend you try and get some training on the basics at least.

  • Help?  Apple Mail no matter what I do, marks my SENT emails as JUNK?

    I've tried yours (and others suggestions) and no matter what I do Apple Mail always marks my SENT messages only as JUNK and my incoming MESSAGE I send to myself as junk. Filtering works great for everything else. My exact name and email address ARE in my address book and previous recipients list. I have my junk email filter set to all of these two criteria are not satisfied it marks it as junk and moves the message to a folder I have labeled as JUNK. I tried each of these suggestions:
    1. Unchecking the box that says "Disable Junk Mail Filtering"; then quitting mail, then restarting mail, then configuring my Junk Mail to customized actions and leaving my junk mail to a folder I have as JUNK mail. No Luck.
    2. I have tried the same as above, but then I hit the RESET button. No luck.
    3. I went to the Apple store and configured the email filters to the way I have it and it does the same thing. It marks all outgoing mail (Sent Mail) as junk and any messages you send to yourself as junk.
    I think this is just a glitch in Apple Mail as I have not seen or heard about another solution. Can't believe 10.4.8 and Apple Mail is not working perfectly. Seems like a simple glitch.
    Anyone???

    There is probably some corruption in one or more of the files used by the junk filter. The following procedure thoroughly gets rid of all those files, so that Mail creates them anew:
    1. Quit Mail.
    2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/.
    3. Locate LSMMap2 and move it to the Trash. This file stores information about what does and doesn’t constitute junk, and is what allows the junk filter to learn. Clicking the Reset button in Preferences > Junk Mail also deletes LSMMap2. The file was called just LSMMap in early versions of Mail, delete that as well if you see it.
    4. Locate DefaultCounts and move it to the Trash. This file keeps statistics about the number of messages that have been marked as junk, either automatically by the junk filter or manually by the user.
    5. Locate MessageRules.plist and/or MessageSorting.plist and move it to the Desktop. This is where Mail stores all the rules, including those used by the junk filter. The former is used by Mail 2.x, the latter by Mail 1.x. There is probably also a MessageRules.plist.backup and/or MessageSorting.plist.backup file there; move it to the Desktop too.
    6. Look for the account folders. The name of each account folder starts with the account type (POP, IMAP, Mac), followed by the account username and the incoming mail server. Open each of the account folders, locate the Junk.mbox or Junk.imapmbox folder within it, and move it to the Trash if present.
    7. Go to ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/. Locate any Junk.mbox mailboxes there (their name may include the account name in parenthesis), and move them to the Trash.
    Note: Messages in Junk mailboxes with an .mbox suffix are stored locally and will be lost forever as a result of doing steps 6 and 7. If there is a chance that you have legit messages there that you want to preserve, either move the messages to another mailbox in Mail first, or move Junk.mbox to the Desktop (to be imported back later) instead of to the Trash. Junk mailboxes with an .imapmbox suffix aren’t a concern because they are stored on the server and Mail will rebuild them automatically.
    8. Open Mail. As a result of removing the rules file, the junk filter will be disabled now. You may want to either tell Mail to go offline immediately after opening it, or shut down the Internet connection before opening Mail, to prevent it from downloading anything until the junk mail filter has been enabled again.
    9. Go to Mail > Preferences > Junk Mail, enable junk filtering, and configure it however you wish.
    10. Go online again if you went offline in step 8.
    If the above solves the problem and you don’t have any rules you’d like to preserve or recreating them is not a daunting task, just trash the rules files that were moved to the Desktop and be done with it.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

    Hi
    I think you have encountered a problem that all of incoming mails were treated as SPAM. The information that you provided indicates that these mails were marked as SCL rating 9 which will be deleted, rejected or
    quarantine . However, normal mails should be mark as SCL-1 and these mails usually  can be forwarded.
    Please check the configuration with following steps:
    What are the allow words or block words you defined before ?
    How did you dispatch SCL rating  for different mails ?
    How were the mails treated in each SCL rating

  • Mail is marking my "Sent" messages as Junk

    Hi--
    I've been noticing strange behavior by my junk mail system lately. First it was junking almost everything that came in without telling me.
    Now it has taken to marking all my sent messages as junk.
    Anybody have a clue?
    Thanks,
    Tim
    Mini   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   1 GB Ram

    Hi Tim.
    This kind of problems are caused by some corruption in one or more of the files used by the junk filter. Try this first:
    1. Go to Preferences > Junk Mail and disable junk mail filtering.
    2. Quit Mail, then open it again.
    3. Go to Preferences > Junk Mail, enable junk mail filtering, and configure it however you wish.
    4. Reset the junk filter database (Preferences > Junk Mail > Reset).

  • Restored my iPad marking all old emails as unread

    I restored my iPad. Now my hotmail email account is downloading all my old emails and marking as unread. Is there any way to stop this? Thanks

    I am having a very similar problem on my E71 on v400 firmware.
    Sycing still works but since yesterday lots of old emails from various dates in various folders have become showing as unread. Giving me a notification on every sync for about an hour as more and more mails were marked as unread.
    I'm currently going through the mails and marking them as read and hoping this doesn't happen again.

  • Can the Mail app mark POP server emails as "read" on all devices that are synced with it after the email has been viewed?

    I currently have my work email on my laptop, mac mini, and a couple mobile devices. Is there a way to have all devices get marked as "read" when I view it from one device? It uses a POP server account.

    No there isn't.
    It's one reason that IMAP accounts are much better suited for use on multiple devices.  Does you work only offer POP?  I ask becuase, I once had a job where I had the ability to set up mail using either POP or IMAP..

  • Last night, mail suddenly lost all my emails, which were stored in mailboxes.  What happened and how can I find my lost files?  I have the latest MacBookPro, running Lion 10.7.2 all software updates installed

    Last night the mail application from Apple lost all my old emails, which were stored in mailboxes, neatly sorted by category.  What happened and how do I find them? 
    Details:  I shut down mail to run errands outside my office.  My late model MacBook Pro was on "sleep".  When I returned, I opened the application, and (RATS!) all the mailboxes were missing.  They just evaporated. 
    Operating system:  10.7.2 - all software updates installed and current as of 24 hours ago (12-30-11, 6 AM EST). 
    ln the mail program, the trash folder is OK and the sent folder is OK. 
    Yesterday, I did no maintenance on my mail folders.
    HELP! 

    1 - the sudden disappearance of my 22 mailboxes, used to sort the emails that I need to file for future use
    That was most likely the result of some kind of corruption, as I've already said, not a bug in Mail.  Have you repaired the hard drive with Disk Utility recently?  That wouldn't be a bad idea.
    2 - at random times, mail (or the server) says that my password is incorrect and I must reenter (fix:  usually I can quit mail, restart, and the connection is restored without reentering my password)
    This is a known issue, where a failure to respond promptly on the server's end mimics what happens when the password is rejected.  There's no need to quit Mail, just cancel when asked to enter the password, take the account back online and try again.
    3 - mail seems to resort the mail in my mailboxes at random time.  Several times a day, I must reset the sort to (a) by date; (b) by desending
    Never seen that before.  That points more to some kind of possible corruption in your Mail data or preference files.

  • Mac Mail updated, lost all my emails, iPhone gets emails, iMac doesn't.

    Hi
    I booted my mac which seemed to do some kind of update (this was a few days ago) and mac mail was also updated. However it lost one of my email accounts during the process and all my sent items are gone. I can still find them using spotlight but they dont appear in mail anymore.
    What is also strange is that my iPhone is collecting new emails from my pop account (set to leave emails on server) but the iMac never picks these emails up. Its like the iPhone is removing them from the server regardless of settings. I disabled the iphone from collecting email but the iMac doesnt get them still.
    The account settings seem ok and I can send emails using these accounts.
    So,
    1. Why is my iMac not collecting pop based emails that the iPhone gets from the same account?
    2. How to i put all the sent emails back into Mac Mail from the hard drive? And where are they?
    Thanks for any help.

    Hello and welcome to the Discussions.
    From what level of OXS and Mail would it have been updating from?
    In the Finder, open Home/Library/Mail -- is there only one POP account folder related to this account? Open this POP account folder -- do you see the Sent Message.mbox folder? Does it contain only one Info.plist file and one Messages folder?
    Were it not for the failure to receive new messages, I would simply recommend to Rebuild the Sent mailbox, but I think more than that might be needed.

  • Mail suddenly duplicates all previous emails and won't retrieve new ones

    At around 3pm today I saw that my my mac mail program download a 2nd copy of all the messages on my server, and won't retrieve any newer ones since. My Iphone will retrieve new ones and I am able to send from my mac mail program but just not receive.... I went on to my website email server and all the messages are still there too...

    Sometimes messages left on the server clog up the account there, or Mail may end up losing track of which messages have already been downloaded, or Mail may choke on a particular message it cannot download and that prevents it from downloading the rest as well. Solving this problem will probably require removing one or more messages from the server.
    You may tell Mail to remove from the server all the messages that have already been downloaded by means of Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove now. Alternatively, you may use the Account Info window to remove specific messages from the server — choose Get Info (⌘I) from the Action menu (gear icon) located below the mailbox list in the main Mail window. And if the account allows web access, you may also remove messages from the server that way.
    Try removing from the server messages that have already been downloaded and/or the first message not downloaded yet (i.e. the message that Mail appears to be choking on).

  • Added Gmail as POP to Apple Mail now downloading all old emails.

    Is there any way to stop downloading old gmail emails, or get them to download faster. If I use my iPhone 4 it just downloads my new e-mails from gmail. However, I added my Gmail account to my iMac Apple Mail s a POP account and now it is downloading every email that I have ever received in Gmail. So far over 5000 messages about seven at a time and I am only up to December 2007!
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the feedback.
    On closer inspection there is an option on the Gmail POP setting page (in Gmail) to choose "Mail from today"!!!!! Moral of story is to RTFM
    Again many thanks for taking the trouble to reply.

  • Mail marks all messages as important?

    Can I change this.  Thanks.

    Exactly. If a couple has both (all) of their email accounts configured on a Mac running Mavericks, so that they can both check their email on that Mac…..
    Mavericks Mail will mark ALL copies of an email as read in ALL email accounts configured on that Mac, regardless of which account “reads” the email. Worse yet, it does matter what email server(s) host those accounts. If those email accounts are on an iMAP email server, the messages will appear as read on all other devices configured with any of those accounts — i.e. the email will appear as read on any other Mac, iPad, iPhone, PC….
    And as you noted, marking the email as unread only effects that one account. In other words, Mail marks the message as read in all accounts configured on a Mac when you read it in any account. But subsequently marking it as unread in that account, does NOT mark it as unread in any other account.
    So a considerate spouse should check the email header of every email they read, to see if the address list contains their spouses email account(s) and go to that account to mark it as unread. Or they can sleep on the couch that night — their choice:(
    Note: Mail in iOS 7 on the iPhone/iPad does NOT work this way. It only marks the email as read in the account where it was actually read.
    BTW This is just one of many inconsistencies in how Apple’s basic applications (e.g. Mail, Calendars, Contacts, etc.) function in Mavericks - Mac vs iOS7 - iPhone vs iOS7 - iPad. And most of these inconsistencies can not be easy explained away based on screen size or mouse/keyboard vs touch interface. You really have to wonder whether these Apple software development teams ever really talk to one another.
