Marking mail as junk without opening it?

Is there any way to mark mail that I can see by the subject line is junk, as junk without having to open it(highlight it)? As you can do using Thunderbird, you can click in the Junk column of a message that immediately marks it as junk and moves it to the junk mail folder without opening the message.

Make sure your inbox has the junk mail toggle button on its toolbar by using View menu -> Customize Toolbar.
Disable the Preview pane from the view menu.
It will not open any spam if you just click on it in the inbox, and select the spam toggling toolbar icon.
Navigating with arrow keys, you can't control what's the next message opened short of clearing all the messages you don't want to read from the mailbox first.

  • Cannot Mark Mail As Junk

    For some reason, I cannot mark mail as junk on my MacPro - using 10.10.2 Yosemite.  The junk mail icon in the toolbar is grayed out and if I control click on a message and select the mark option the option to mark as junk is grayed out.  I also have an iMac the mail app seems to be working correctly on that computer - the junk mail icon is not grayed out and I can mark a mail as junk.  Both computers are on the same version of Yosemite.
    Thanks

  • Mail for preview without opening

    Does anyone know of a mail program that would be good for previewing the emails without opening them. I sent a friend an email with some attachments and he has a PC. Norton antivirus popped up on his pc and said virus threat in email. I do not go on any sites that would have viruses. I am concerned that I may have picked one up by opening my mail. I was wondering if I could be sending a virus to a pc and it is sent out in my email if that is possible. When I delete my mac mail I have to click on it to open it. So i don't have an option, but to open it. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    I don't understand what you are talking about, I guess.
    What is it you want to do?
    You can mark stuff you know is junk that mail doesn't flag, and it will begin to learn to flag those items automatically.
    If you don't open the email, how do you know it is junk.
    You don't have to turn the preview pane on in Mail. You can just have a list and double-click to open the email in another window.
    However, opening an infected email on a Mac won't do anything. So, if you think it is spam, you can delete it and nothing will happen. You won't pass that virus on. It will not embed itself into the system and attach to every email you send.

  • Best way to delete junk without opening it

    Hello,
    Am I missing something obvious?  Seems like in the past, on a MacBook Pro in the Mail Program, you could highlight the whole column of junk emails, delete them...without opening them. Has this changed or am I just super tired or stupid?
    Any input would be appreciated!
    Thanks, MM

    Mark them as Junk, set your Mail preferences to automatically send them to trash and delete them from there. Never need to open them at all.

    Accidentally posted mail as junk, how do I change this?

    Open the email, tap the file folder icon in the upper right corner of the mail app and "move" the email back to your inbox.

  • Does Marking Mail as "Junk" Do Anything?

    Of course making a "Rule" does work but if I mark an inbox mail as "Junk" does Mail learn from this or does it just move it to the Junk folder?

    Mail learns and updates "Junk Mail" database.

  • SpamAssassin 2010 issue - Marking mail as Junk

    Hi Folks,
    It looks like we have officially arrived in the future. There is a known issue with SpamAssassin adding up to 3.6 points to all mail sent after 2010. You will see an increase in false positives until your server has been updated. The solutions have been posted on the SA site.
    http://spamassassin.apache.org/
    Two options:
    Update the included rules, or disable the offending rule.
    You can exclude the rule by adding "score FHDATE_PAST20XX 0" without the quotes to the end of your /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf file.
    I was able to update the built in rules with:
    sudo sa-update --nogpg --updatedir /etc/mail/spamassassin --debug
    You will most likely need to restart mail for either of these to take effect. Welcome to 2010, and a have a great year!
    -Matt

    Hi!
    I've seen lots of false positives since 2010 and supposed I was affected by this problem. But the steps described didn't help me so far. I've been running sudo sa-update --nogpg --updatedir /etc/mail/spamassassin --debug
    and I've been adding score FHDATE_PAST20XX 0 to /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf. Also I've followed the tips here http://osx.topicdesk.com/content/view/147/45/ and downloaded the .cf file into the spamassassin directory.
    Reloaded amavis, nothing changed. Issued sudo serveradmin stop/start mail and postfix wouldn't load anymore. Restarted the server and found wrong permissions on amavisd. Postfix would'nt load anymore. Had to uncheck and check SMTP in SA to get mail running again. But the SPAM problem persisted.
    Now I had to turn Junk mail filtering off in SA to prevent every mail from being marked as spam. Anyone has some tips for me?
    Here is what I see in mail.log when mail is incoming:

  • Does marking mail as "junk" in iPad Mail actually do anything?

    For a long time now, I have been using the iPad Mail facility to mark spam emails as "junk".
    However, I'm not seeing any different behavior.  The same old spam sources are sending me the same old emails which land in my inbox.
    After over a year or two of using the Junk marker, I'm thinking it's a placebo.  Am I wrong?

    A lot of it depends on your mail provider. Usually they have to block junk mail at the server - however the junkers are rather ingenious. For example they spoof addresses, or make up one, usually gibberish like mworfhwoeihfowafnowanfwoei@ and then send their junk out and abandon the account, so blocking it is really a waste.
    YOu may not want to continue marking at the iPad level but access your mail provider via safari, for example, for me I'd use safari to go to yahoo.com and mark it as spam there. Might help with some of it. Then again, junkers have been sending stuff out unimpeeded for years now. Short of abandoning your account there's really no way to stop it all.

  • How do I delete all junk without opening?

    My junk folder has 5 or 6 items in it. Since they are junk, I don't want to open them, I just want to get rid of them. How do I do that?

    You say "just delete them". Thats what I want to do. Where is the command to "Delete all". My Junk folder has 9 messages. Currently, the only way to delete them is to click on each one, which opens the file, then click delete the open file.

  • Marking mail as Junk in Tiger Mail causes spinning beach ball

    Hello Everyone,
    Lately, if I press the Junk button (or the Not Junk button) it causes the spinning beach ball to come up for about one minute.
    This happens in training or automatic mode, I've emptied the Junk mail folder, rebuilt the mailbox and discarded a plist file (but can't remember the name).
    Any ideas?

    Yep, it's working fine now that I got rid of the Junkmatcher stuff. Thanks very much!
    One other question...I get spam that has blank subject headers, blank "To" fields and blank bodies.
    Mail never recognizes it as spam, and it won't "learn" them either. How do I create a rule to filter these out?
    Thanks,
    David

  • What is the correct way to teach leopard server mail about junk mail?

    All my clients are using apple mail and they basically taught their own client each their own way of filter junk mail. This works ok...but after upgrading to Leopard Server I think the server can be trained with junk mail data too? If so, anyone know how to set it up? I only see options to mark mail as junk mail on the server side, nothing about training.

    I have done it on a mac os 10.4 server, it works great. Have a look here

  • How can I empty the Junk mail folder in Yahoo without opening the messages?

    How can I empty the Junk Mail folder in Yahoo without opening the messages?

    You can swipe across them on the left and delete them unread. Unfortunately there is no 'delete all' option in mail.
    Or you can just ignore them on your iPad and empty the junk folder when/if you access your mail online.
