More spam on my iPhone

When I update Mail on my iPhone (not via sync, but via WiFi) I get a lot more spam in my Inbox on my iPhone than on my Mac.
The account is, by the way, an IMAP account at my university.
Is there anything I can do?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best regards,
Gabriel.

Are you using the Mail application on your Mac to access this IMAP account and if so, do you leave the Mail.app launched and running checking the account for new messages?
Email accounts - mailboxes/messages are not updated via the sync process. This transfers email account setup information only from your computer to the iPhone's Mail client. This is a one way transfer process only - from your computer to the iPhone, and has no affect on spam or anything else when checking the account with the iPhone's Mail client.
The iPhone's Mail client does not include a spam filter. The server stored mailboxes for an IMAP account are kept synchronized with the server only with the iPhone's Mail client.

  • How to block spam sms in iPhone for India? Any solution?

    I get far more annoyed with text message spam than I do with email spam. My iPhone (unlocked) dings every time I receive a text message, and I check it as soon as I can. I really, really resent the intrusion when it’s spam. And of course there’s the cost. I don’t pay per text message, but when I am in international roaming I do. I searched every nook and cranny on the iPhone to find a way to block the spam, to no avail. Suggestions in different web forum like contacting the service provider (in my case its Vodafone India) did not help. My friends using other mobile service companies like Airtel says the situation is the same. So no point changing service provider. There is one application iBlacklist which I purchased but was a waste of 2 dollars as it does not work in India (see the complaints of the cheated customers in the app store). Is there any iphone application which will allow me to block the spams while still able to receive sms from friends and relatives. I know that my issue is not a new one but honestly, I have tried out everything and have not found an effective solution that works in Indian setting. Many thanks for your suggestions.

    I am lucky lucky because up to now I have had very few Spam SMS'.
    I give out my cell phone number as little as possible.
    The following article may give you some tips about prventing spam SMS:

    Success!! There truly is a light at the end of the tunnel. Apple support really did come through and I am successfully back into my account. Ready to purchase more music. I followed the instructions, with patience I thought I lost, submitted my problem, someone emailed me back within two days and all is now perfect. Thanks again Apple.

  • Yahoo mail tool bar (delete,more,spam,etc) not working in firefox.Works in Explorer.Web points to Mozilla update."Plug-ins" up to date. Solutions?

    Yahoo mail tool bar (delete,more,spam,etc) not working in firefox.Works in Explorer.Web search points to Mozilla update problem."Plug-ins" up to date. Solutions?
    I've used firefox for years now with out problems. Now that help is needed, Could you make this any more frustrating? I thought I was asking Mozilla help and I'm sent to "users". I went there 1st! there are similar questions but no answers. I've lost time and data. Is there any REAL PEOPLE to help with firefox problems?

    I'm a real person, thanks.
    If you mean, does Mozilla have paid staff you could phone or email, the answer is "No."
    Is the problem with a feature of the Yahoo! mail web page itself, or the Yahoo! toolbar?
    General advice:
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * click the padlock or globe icon in the address bar > More Information > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
    Could you test in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    ''If Firefox is not running:'' Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox.
    ''If Firefox is running:'' You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    and OK the restart.
    ''Both scenarios:'' A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Refresh).
    Any difference in how Yahoo! works?

    If you want to use cloud services remember you have to download your media every time you want to see or listen them.

  • I keep getting spam on my iPhone

    Using my icould account I feel my email address has been sold to spammers. My macbookpro send the spam to junk just fine, but I keep getting all the spam on my iphone. How can I prevent this? Thanks

    Im having exactly the same issue. Spoken with Verizon a lot out it. They've recomended the "type STOP" and they've looked into getting the number off of whatever spam subcription its on. So far no dice.
    I just got the number and phone a few weeks ago so It's nothing I did. They think it's left over from whom ever had the number last.
    I think my final resort will be just insisting that they change my number. I forward the number to Google Voice so no one will miss me if I change the number anyway; it just ***** that you have to go through all this crap. From what i can tell it's happening to alot of people but not enough for it to be on verizons radar.

    in Safari, certain
    characters like hyphens and apostrophes appear as
    black diamonds with question marks.
    This has nothing to do with fonts. It usually happens when your encoding is set wrong for a specific page. Panther Safari did not show these diamonds, but just displayed nothing, so people get the impression something has changed, but it really hasn't.
    In Safari, I'm using Unicode (UTF-8) as my default
    encoding. Is this setting correct?
    Not if you keep running into pages with black diamonds. It would be better to set your default to Western ISO Latin 1. The black diamonds will probably go away.

    So you have business contacts that were lost... do you not have these on a Database in some shape or form? Sounds like you need to invest in a RAID1 backup setup for your computer so you dont have this issue in the future.
    As for repairing your problem, sounds like you are going to need to start from scratch at this point or if the data is still on your phone look into a program that can take the information from the phone onto iTunes.

    I need more space on my iPhone to update to iOS 7.0.6. I was able to import and then delete my Camera Roll but not my Photo Library. How do I do that?

    To delete your photo library you need to connect to iTunes, then remove the selection for the images, then sync the device.
    While you are connected to iTunes do the update through iTunes. It takes much less memory as the update is loaded onto your computer, unpacked, then sent to the device.

  • More than one ipod / iphone sync'ing

    If we own more than one ipod / iphone (two of each) how do we sync without getting each other's apps, etc.

    The issue here is Contacts - my 3000 contacts built over 14 (yes, 14) years on PDAs have been - merged?  - with my wife's and we each have both.  She has mine anyway and it is driving her nuts.  Is there a way to sort this out?  To clarify one step further - she broke iPhone, got new iPhone, and it was in syncing this new phone that she acquired my contacts.  So, her ORIGINAL iPhone is still listed as a device in iTunes and I wonder if (and suspect that) her isolated/original  contact list is still associated with that first iPhone.  So, how can I make her current phone be recognized instead as that old phone and back itself up with that old iphone's data (contacts)? Muchg appreciate your help here.

  • Why can't I download more than 50mb in iPhone ??

    Why can't I download more than 50mb in iPhone ??

    Deggie is correct. The carriers originally wanted it so people wouldnt be downloading large files on their networks and causing congestion. Also look at is from a carrier perspective for protecting costumers. People could also complain if they went over their data plan that they should have received a warning about downloading large files. Rather than argue about updating/downloading apps, they have the warning now.
    I am hoping down the road that carriers converse with Apple to lift those, we will see what happens. Rodgers has more influence on lifting that limit that normal costumers would.

  • Anyone receivig a lot more spam in the last few days?

    I've been getting 5-10 spam messages a day whereas a week ago I would only get a one or two every few days.  Has there been an increase in spam from new botnets?  My customers are also receving a lot more spam than normal.  CASE has been updated to the latest and we continue to send the emails to [email protected] but we continue to get them.  If this is just due to more spam worldwide and the ESA can only catch so much then that's fine, but if anyone has any suggestions that can resolve this, it would be greatly appreciated.   
    Thanks,

    Hello Danny,
    In regards to your spam issue, normally to diagnose why emails are passing the system when you open a case with us; if you could get the actual spam emails where all original headers are available, or to send them to [email protected] as submissions where the automated system will review, but in instances where the emails are still passing.
    Once the case is opened, provide us the date and time you sent said submissions and we'll escalate it.
    A larger sample size is always best as well if you're able to provide.
    It is also important to ensure that you also have the message tracking reflecting these emails ready for us to verify the mail flow to ensure it was not bypassing anything and such.
    I hope this helps.
    Matthew
