Mail moving non-Spam message to Junk, and not marking them as Junk

I have seen a couple of other discussions related to this, but no relevant answer. I will try to phrase the question completely.
I am using OS X mail with no additional Spam filters. My email service is mac.com/me.com/iCloud (I am wondering what the next iteration will be).
I am on the latest version of Yosemite, and my Junk Preferences are:
So, two different, but related, problems:
Mail does a pretty good job of catching real Spam and moving it to the Junk mailbox. HOWEVER, it has various ways of marking said messages.
1) No Brown Color, No Junk Mail Flag
2) No Brown Color, Junk Mail Flag
3) Brown Color, Junk Mail Flag
On the issue of false positives, Mail also does a pretty good job, but it also makes mistakes 2 to 3 times a week (not a big deal, unless it is an important email). In these cases, the message IS moved to the Junk mailbox, however it is neither in a brown font color, nor is it flagged as Junk. In all cases, these messages (I checked) are either in my Contacts and are among my Previous Recipients or BOTH (sometimes I will have 3 messages in a day from the exact same e-mail sender, and 2 will be in Inbox, and 1 will be moved to Junk). Obviously I can not mark these as Not Junk, as they are not marked Junk!
To the best of my knowledge, I have NEVER marked messages from these senders as Junk.
I have just changed things over to Perform custom actions, where I have been very explicit about what is junk, and what to do with it. Hopefully this will fix things, problem is it will take a couple of weeks to be sure. So until then, I thought I would throw this question out there.
Thanks!

1) No Brown Color, No Junk Mail Flag
2) No Brown Color, Junk Mail Flag
Your e-mail provider may have marked these as junk since there is no color. Check the web site to see if you can make an adjustment there.

  • I want to email everyone I have ever emailed to warn them about a spam message I received and *stoopidly* opened!

    How do I email everyone I have ever emailed to warn them about a spam message I received and *stoopidly* opened! I don't want to add them separately to an email - there are hundreds. I would like to do it one foul swoop. Thanks in advance of any pears of wisdom x

    You probably don't want to do this. At least not as described.
    Think about it. You're talking of sending an email to every individual that you've ever emailed, every mailing list you've ever posted to, and more ... and to tell them, what? that you opened an email. Big deal.
    I suspect that >95% of the people won't care. The rest will recognize it for what it was - a momentary lapse of judgement, for which you're now broadcasting to a wider audience.
    Seriously, millions of people open spam messages every hour. Think of the mess that email would be if every opened spam message generated a few hundred "oops, I'm sorry, I opened a spam message" additional messages to everyone's contacts.
    Unless you have specific reason to believe that they will somehow be affected by your opening of the email, you're just going to make yourself look even sillier.
    If you do fear that your opening of this message is going to somehow affect them (in ways i can't imagine) then your first action is to determine a list of people that you want to notify (I'm sure "everyone" is not appropriate). You could write a script to extract the recipient of every message in your Sent folder (or, even better, every selected message, so you can pre-filter the list), but I still question its value.
    The following AppleScript will extract a unique list of email addresses from the selected messages in Mail.app - select the messages, then run the script and you'll have a list of addresses. Again, I can't stress how much I think you shouldn't bother running this, but it demonstrates one option.
    set recipientsList to {}
    tell application "Mail"
      set sel to get selection
      repeat with msg in sel
      repeat with recip in recipients of msg
      set addr to address of recip
      if addr is not in recipientsList then
      copy addr to end of recipientsList
      end if
      end repeat
      end repeat
    end tell
    return recipientsList

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
    Also consider deleting and reinstalling the Mail Account in question.

  • HT3529 Why is my messages sending green and not blue

    Why is my messages sending green and not blue

    Green means the message was sent as an SMS/MMS.
    Blue means the message was sent as an iMessage.
    If sent as green, the recipient doesn't have an iPhone with iMessage enabled or if they do, they have turned iMessage off.

  • Unfortunately messaging has stopped and not receiving text messages

    I, am also having issues with "unfortunately messaging has stopped", AND, NOT receiving text messages. I also have 2 other Droid Ultra's on my account doing the same thing. This is totally unacceptable!!! I am not paying $600 for a piece of crap phone that does not work. I had my phone recently replaced because Verizon thought that was the problem. I can't even get the message screen to stay up long enough to type a message, if it opens at all!
    Also I am getting tired of NOT receiving messages sent to me! When I do get them, the icon tells me I have a message with a number usually no more than a designation of 2 but reverts back to a 1, and, when I open the message, read it, and close out of it, if it does not close out on its own because of stopped messaging, the number on the message icon does not clear out. I have to turn off the phone and restart it to clear it. This is not acceptable and I would expect better from Verizon, not the run around!! If I had to send an urgent message and get a reply, do to the fact I am disabled, and this is my only way to communicate, that this is extremely unacceptable!!!!
    I expect this to be resolved yesterday, not when you all get around to it, OR, issue me a Samsung!!! I am sure all of the others would agree!!!
    I look to hear from you ASAP!!

    Hello,
    I am using the messaging app that was preloaded with the phone, the green face icon. I do not have an "Android Keyboard" app, but I have cleared the cache on the "Messaging" app, several times. I have also gone to the Verizon store where an associate did a soft reboot, telling me that would work. A very short time later, the error message started appearing again--so this did not work either.
    The error message comes very sporadically. Sometimes several in a few minutes, other times not for hours.

  • Is it possible to download iOS  5 from one iMac and not get them totally wiped of apps and stuff. We have an iPad each and a communal email address and an iCloud address each. One iPad now is totally screwed up.

    Is it possible to download iOS  5 from one iMac on two ipads and not get them totally wiped of apps and stuff. We have an iPad each and a communal email address and an iCloud address each. One iPad now is totally screwed up.

    Thank you for your reply.
    I am somewhat new to iOS and OS having grown up with DOS and Windows. I am not familiar with IMAP and iCloud and I am not even sure which types of servers my various emails use.
    The problem I would anticipate with iCloud is that (I assume) it would limit my access to data (including mail) on the iCloud to when I happen to be logged onto the internet. I also assume(?) that large files (photos etc.) would require some time to download whenever I wish to access them from whichever device I happen to be using (I hope I am wrong about this).
    I have kept my devices to 500gb - 1TB for OS and 32gb - 128gb for iOS but since I have pretty slow WiFi (shared with DirecTV Whole Home and Netflix streaming) it is my impression that iCloud might be quite limited due to data transfer times.
    Perhaps a factor would be that I have 2 DSL lines and my main DSL line is connected to two wireless routers (to also provide WiFi in a metal building that blocks WiFi and Cellular signals)
    I may be totally wrong in my assumptions regarding iCloud. My mail is not so urgent that I need access to it instantly and I could wait until I had internet access or I can get it on my iPhone. My main concern with iCloud would be my data files (Word, Pages, Excel, Numbers etc.).
    On the other hand, if I wanted to keep my 10,000 emails that would take up a lot of iCloud memory and I don't know how to measure how much storage it would take or how to move Hotmail or even iCloud mail to iCloud.
    It may take me some time to figure this out.

  • How do I upload pictures from my iphone to a new computer and not lose them

    My laptop crashed so I bought a new computer and iTunes says if I sync my pictures they'll be replaced with what's on the new computer. There are no pictures on the new computer.  So how do I get them off my phone and not lose them too?

    Click here and follow the instructions. Once the photos are on your computer, put a copy of them onto an external drive.

  • I want to delete a few contacts, apps, pics etc from my iphone, but when I delete and connect to my laptop they sync and come back again. How can I delete those items and not get them back when I connect my iphone to my laptop?

    I want to delete a few contacts, apps, pics etc from my iphone, but when I delete and connect to my laptop they sync and come back again. How can I delete those items and not get them back when I connect my iphone to my laptop?
    Also where exactly on the laptop is teh data stored.
    Thank you!!

    go to 'Edit' in the menu bar. Then choose 'Preferences'.
    you'll see a pop-up and there's a tab called 'Devices' there. If you click that, you will be able to check a box that says 'prevent automatic syncing for iPods, iPads and iPhones' or something like that.
    Hope this helps
    NB: if you don't even see the menu bar that has options like 'File, Edit, View, etc', first click the black/white square button on the top left of your screen, and then click 'show menu bar'. It should pop right up.
    Good luck

  • HT1284 How can I backup word documents and not have them crowd my screen? Thanks.

    Hi. How can I backup word documents and not have them crowd my screen? I know, you guessed it. I'm a novice, but not ashamed!

    Please explain what you mean when you say backup Word documents crowds your screen.
    I don't see any connection between backup and your screen.

  • I want to have different headers in Pages. I want to be able to set them and not have them be the same. For example I want ii then iii and so on...How do I do that?

    I want to have different headers in Pages. I want to be able to set them and not have them be the same. For example I want ii then iii and so on...How do I do that?

    Hi BelleDesign,
    "Headers" is short for "Continuing Headers."
    Use a Header when you want recurring information on a series of pages in your document.
    If ii, iii, etc. are page numbers, you can place them in Headers using Insert > Page Number, then formatting the page number to lower case Roman numerals.
    For more on Headers and Footers, see Chapter 3, Working with document parts in the Pages '09 User Guide, available for download via the Help menu in Pages. Discussion of Headers and Footers starts on Page 54.

    Barry

  • My laptop was stolen and i have a new one, is there any way to move all the picture folders to the new computer and not lose them?

    My laptop was stolen and i have a new one, is there any way to move all the picture folders to the new computer and not lose them? They stole my external harddrive too so unfortunately if i lose these, i have no way to get them back?

    What randers4 said. HOWEVER, if the photos were taken with a higher resolution camera than the iPhone what you recover will not be as high a resolution as the originals.

  • Why does Mail always classify AOL messages as junk?

    Hello everyone,
    Has anyone encountered the strange anomaly of Mail always dropping any message from an AOL user in the junk folder? This happens even if the sender is in my address book. I've even set up a rule to move any AOL mail into my inbox, but it's made no difference.
    Does anyone know of a fix for this?
    Thanks.

    I am experiencing the same problem with AOL recently. I just discovered this a couple of weeks ago. AOL doesn't come through. Now I am finding today some of the other e-mails from people in my directory are also not coming through. The junk filter is set to leave e-mails in the inbox. Any thoughts?

  • Mail: how to download ONLY last emails and not the whole hotmail.

    Hi!
    Quick question: like what Mail does in iPhones/iPads, how can I configure Mail in my iMac or Macbook Pro so that it only downloads the last, say 50 emails and not the 4000 aprox. emails I have inside the hotmail (now outlook) server?
    I have been wanting to use mail for a long time but I can't seem to find that option. I only want to see the LAST EMAILS like what happens in the app on my iPhone.
    Thanks.

    unless there is a special setting in yahoo webmail interface that allows this (gmail pop has it for example), there is no way to do it. POP will download all available messages on the first download. that's how POP works. from there on it will only download new ones.

  • Why is it that when I go to the search screen to find a particular message in a conversation it comes up with the message but when I click on it it takes me to the conversation where the most recent message was sent and not the message I wanted

    Why is it that when I go to the search screen and type in a particular message I want to view, my iPhone finds it but when I click on it it only takes me to the conversation at the most recently thing texted and not the particular message I clicked on?

    Never occurred to me you can search messages that way, thanks.
    Another way to do it is to scroll from the most recent message to the top of the screen and tap load more messages, repeatedly till you reach the one you want.
      I like your method better, but with both methods it refreshes to the most recent message.

  • It's sending my messages as a text message when I'm texting another iPhone. How can I fix that? The messages are green and not blue. This just starting during half my conversation.

    I was texting another iPhone when right it the middle of my conversation, it turned from blue to green. Now its sending all my messages as text messages and not iMessages. How can I fix this?

    It could be that your signal dropped to GSM which is why it sent as a normal text. You need wi-fi, 3G or HSPDA to send as an iMessage. As does the receiver
