MY iCloud Mail Bombarded with Junk Mail

MobileMe wasn't the greatest with junk mail, but since the transition to iCloud, my inbox is bombarded with with junk mail every day now. Has anyone else noticed a noticible increase in junk mail after the transition from Mobileme>iCloud.
1) Comcast account - virtually no junk
2) .com webhost account - virtually no junk
3) gmail - virtually no junk
4) iCloud - ridiculous amount of junk

Wow, Nothing like bringing an old thread to life. I still get spam. It's a lot better since I've learned how to set up proper Mail Rules. The Rules only work for high volumes of Junk mail in which the senders address doesn't change. True hardcore spammers know all about rules and how to get around them by constanly changing their address. If Apple can't filter them out at the server level, you don't have much of a chance.
But notice the addresses. If they are consistant, a Mail Rule will help.

You can use junk mail filters but setting the criteria can be a problem.

Can't see mail in the Junk mail folder

I have my mac set to automatically send junk mail to a junk mail box. All of a sudden I can no longer see the mails in the folder. It is showing the number of emails in there but when I click on the junk icon it shows zero. I can not do a rebuild because it is not highlighted when I click on Mailbox.

Rosieb,
Don't worry about not being knowledgeable about what's going on here. Answering the questions you're being asked and providing all relevant information is critical to properly troubleshoot the problem, though, and you don't need to be knowledgeable on computer issues to do that, just follow the instructions, answer all questions, and ask for any clarifications or if there is something you don't feel comfortable with.
If you look at the Junk icon in the mailboxes drawer in Mail, you should see a black triangle to the left. Clicking on it should reveal the individual Junk mailbox of each of the accounts. You can now select these one at a time, identify which is the one that has the problem, and rebuild it if necessary.
It could very well be, however, that the problem is what Ernie is suggesting, i.e. the .mbox suffix is missing from the Junk mailbox name in the Finder, and that's the reason you cannot do Mailbox > Rebuild on this particular mailbox, in which case you must follow Ernie's instructions to fix it.

I have my Hotmail open , but it freezes and won't let me open e-mail or delete junk mail. It won't do anything

My hotmail account is open, but I can't read e-mail or delete junk mail. My hotmail works fine when I use Internet Explorer. I have used Firefox for a year and never had this problem. What is the solution

Your upgrade must have failed. Unless you very very recently upgraded Lion, as in the last hour or two. Then you need to go to System Preferences and Energy Saver and stop it from automatically sleeping. Let it sit overnight. It could be spotlight re-indexing your disk and slowing you way way down.
If that doesn't work then you can re-install Lion cleanly. You need to finish backing up your data. Then make a Lion USB flash boot disk or DVD. Hold option key when you boot and select the USB or DVD drive. Run Disk Utility and delete then recreate the partition, exit Disk Utility and install Lion. Then restore your applications and data.

What **exactly** does Icloud sync do with my mails?

I use ICLOUD to sync win7 PC mail (outlook) with iphone and ipad.
What **exactly** does icloud do with mails in Outlook?
There is this peculiar [email protected] email address that is required.
What is its role? Is it some intermediate account to load my mails onto an apple server?
are my mails loaded onto an apple server in anyway and then transported to ihone/ipad?

Trouble Using Push Addressing with Junk Mail

I would like to push mail receiving a tag2 ("* JUNK MAIL *") to a user's mailbox called "Spam" rather than having it go to the user's inbox.
I have tried to use "push addressing" to achieve this; however, I am having trouble.
I think the trouble I am having relates to the fact that all of our mail uses postfix style aliases. The postfix push system doesn't seem to want to handle postfix style aliases.
For example, as a test ...
if I send to [email protected]
... the mail gets correctly pushed to the Spam mailbox (joelmcintosh is my user name)
if I send to [email protected]
... the mail goes to my inbox (jmcintosh is an alias).
Any ideas how I might go about solving this?
Below is some added background about my setup that may (or may not be of value):
(1) I have set the "Spam" mailbox to receive posting from "anyone" using SirAdmin (i.e., I've added an ACL of "p" for anyone).
(2) The main.cf file included this:
------CUT -------
# ADDRESS EXTENSIONS (e.g., user+foo)
# The recipient_delimiter parameter specifies the separator between
# user names and address extensions (user+foo). See canonical(5),
# local(8), relocated(5) and virtual(5) for the effects this has on
# aliases, canonical, virtual, relocated and .forward file lookups.
# Basically, the software tries user+foo and .forward+foo before
# trying user and .forward.
recipient_delimiter = +
------CUT -------
(3) The amavisd.conf file included this:
------CUT -------
# If passing malware to certain recipients ($final*_destiny=DPASS or
# *_lovers), the recipient-based lookup tables @addrextension_*maps may
# return a string, which (if nonempty) will be added as an address extension
# to the local-part of the recipient's address. This extension may be used
# by the final local delivery agent (LDA) to place such mail into different
# subfolders (the extension is usually interpreted as a folder name).
# This is sometimes known as the 'plus addressing'. Appending address
# extensions is prevented when:
# - recipient does not match lookup tables @localdomainsmaps;
# - lookup into corresponding @addrextension_*maps results
# in an empty string or undef;
# - $recipient_delimiter is empty (see below)
# LDAs usually default to stripping away address extension if no special
# handling is specified or if a named subfolder or alias does not exist,
# so adding address extensions normally does no harm.
# @addrextension_virusmaps = ('virus'); # defaults to empty
@addrextension_spammaps = ('Spam'); # defaults to empty
# @addrextension_bannedmaps = ('banned'); # defaults to empty
# @addrextension_bad_headermaps = ('badh'); # defaults to empty
# A more complex example:
# @addrextension_virusmaps = (
# {'sub.example.com'=>'infected', '.example.com'=>'filtered'}, 'virus' );
# Delimiter between local part of the envelope recipient address and address
# extension (which can optionally be added, see @addrextension_*maps. E.g.
# recipient address <[email protected]> is changed to <[email protected]>.
# Delimiter must match the equivalent (final) MTA delimiter setting.
# (e.g. for Postfix add 'recipient_delimiter = +' to main.cf)
# Setting it to an empty string or to undef disables adding extensions
# regardless of $addrextension_*maps.
$recipient_delimiter = '+'; # (default is undef, i.e. disabled)
# true: replace extension; false: append extension
# $replaceexistingextension = 1; # (default is true)
# Affects matching of localpart of e-mail addresses (left of '@')
# in lookups: true = case sensitive, false = case insensitive
$localpartis_casesensitive = 0; # (default is false)

I'm using Acrobat XI Pro. I don't have Reader installed on my laptop. The form is for a client who sends it out to patients to fill out, so I need it work with both mail clients and web mail. Is there a way to do that? I don't think changing that preference in my Acrobat will solve the problem, as that will just effect my Acrobat. Is there a setting I can apply to the actual document? Thank you for your response!

Please help with junk mail folders/boxes on MacPro Yosemite 10.10.2

'I have 4 email accounts set up using the mail program on my Macbook Pro. On the left panel of the mail program Under the heading 'MAILBOXES' it shows a tray for INBOX and then there is a tray/ for each of those 4 accounts. When I click on each account I receive the emails designated for those accounts. Then a little lower down the panel there is are titles for DRAFTS, SENT, JUNK, each of these titles also list the different email accounts under them. If I scroll down a little further these things seem broken down even more and there are other main headings called 'ON MY MAC' with another JUNK folder and then Additional heading with JUNK folders for them! All of those junk folders are empty. The only junk folders that seem to get mail is the one under the 'MAILBOXES' heading. (I hope this is making sense so far!! ) My problem for example...when I look at the JUNK folder for my gmail account there are alot of emails in there that shouldn't be. However, there is no way to 'unmark' them as not JUNK. When I go to use the little 'thumbs up' icon there is only a 'thunbs down' icon available. In other words the emails in this JUNK folder have not been marked as junk. So here are my questions:
1. Why are they being sent there?
2. How can I stop them from being sent there (since the unmark as junk is not an option).
3. Why are there so many junk boxes.
4. What is the difference between the JUNK under the 'MAILBOXES' heading and the JUNK under the other heading that are empty?
As you can tell I am pretty clueless and there is probably an easy answer...thanks for your patience and sorry for the long issue.

If the window’s toolbar is hidden, either do View > Show Toolbar or click on the grey oblong button at the top right corner of the window.

ICloud push notifications plus junk mail

Ever since I changed to iCloud email, my push notifications aren't alerting me of new incoming mail. I have set it for sound option and nothing is working.
My "junk" mail also is saying I ahve junk mail when really it's not junk mail. I've tried flitering and teaching what's junk and what's not but it too isn't working.
Help..,anyone ?

bump!
i have the same problem on my iphone 4S.
mails gets correctly put in the subfolder i assigned but i dont get any badge notification so hours may pass before i realize i have a new mail in my "very urgent stuff" subfolder! which is quite bad
would love to know if there's a workaround, it's a known issue or i should just disable the rules for a while and moving the mails manually.
notice the rules are applied on the icloud webmail app, but not on my desktop mac

Why doesn't mail put my junk mail in my junk mailbox

Since I started using 10.9.2, the Mail program has misbehaved much less and I have been able to return to using it from Gmail. However, it puts all my junk mail (which it SAYS is junk mail) in my Inbox instead of the junk mailbox - even though I have instructed it in Preferences to move it to the Junk mailbox. Why? What can I do to correct this?

Can't anyone come up with an answer to this question? I'd be very grateful for any ideas.

When i use IE9, i go to my emails and any pics in the mail open with the mail but with FF i have to download them is there a way to make the pics open in the mail, i set yahoo to load images automatically in the options menu this has had no effect, thanks

some pictures(jpeg or gif) come as part of email if i use IE9 these images open as part of the mail, but with firefox i have to download them separately and then they don't appear in email. i have been in the options menu and allowed yahoo.com to automatically load images but this has had no effect, thanks

Sounds like you did this on the fly.
MM is supposed to open the Marker Panel Dialogue
M just sets a marker
Not sure if either are intended for on the fly during playback .
There is also a Marker Icon on the Source Window Pane >>

I can't remove an e-mail address from Junk Mail

The Apple Mail Application incorrectly marked an e-mail address as Junk.
This documentation is not working for me: Mail (Mavericks): Mark messages
I don't see the banner - I can't find the "thumbs up" icon. Anything else I can try?
Thanks.

Select the message. Under Message in the Menu bar select Mark > Not Junk.
Edit the Toolbar and add junk icon.
Select the Toolbar in Mail.
Control-Click (Right-click) and select Customize Toolbar.
Add the icon for Junk (Thumbs down) This toggles to Thumbs up to mark as not junk for junk messages.

How do I put junk e-mail in the junk mail box on my iPad automatically like it does on iMac?

Does anyone know how to get junk mail to go into the junk mailbox on an iPad like it does on the iMac?

That is a function of your email providers server when it comes to iOS. The mail client does not have any way to create and run rules.

Using Mail Program with Gmail, Mail automatically bcc:s me on every email

I am using the Mail Program with my Gmail acoount. It works fine except Mail automatically bcc:s me on every email I send. I checked the Mail preferences and the box is unchecked in the composing section "Automatically cc: myself".
This does not happen when I use the Gmail.com web access, only when I send emails through mail.
