Not downloading spam from the server

Hi all,
Recently, we have been inundated with spam. I called my IP, and they told me they can mark each smap message with **(subject)**, so that I can make one simple rule telling Mail what to do with these messages.
They said that there should be a rule that tells Mail to not even download these messages from the server... which would be great because then we don't have to create rules on each separate machine on the network.
However, I can find no such option under rules. Am I overlooking something?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

no one?

I am trying to download xfinity tv go app. I can not find it in my App Store and can not download it from the comcast website. All I get is a blank screen in the App Store. My Apple ID is associated with a Canadian address. How can I find the app?

My messages are not being deleted from the server

Hi,
Mail is not removing messages from the server. Every now and than I have to remove messages from my server manually. I went through all the settings ... it works as intended on 2 out of 3 machines ... am I missing something? I can use "delete now" in Mail preferences ... not a big deal, just a nuisance.
Thanks, Stephan

Are the Mail settings sticking between reboots on that one Mac?

Phone not deleting messages from the server

Please help! My Blackberry Curve 9360 is not deleting messages from the server meaning that, after returning home from a week working away, i've still got a few hundred messages to wade through on my PC.
I receive e-mails on the PC via Outlook Express. I've clicked on 'tools', 'accounts' then 'advanced' to ensure that the box for 'leave a copy of the message on the server' is unchecked i.e. messages sould be being deleted from the server when prompted to by the phone but this is not happening. Not sure what else to try or perhaps there was something i did / didn't do during the set-up of the phone.
Any guidance would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Barry.

Hello,
Please check this KB:
KB05133 Email reconciliation features for the BlackBerry Internet Service
All reconciliation capabilities between your BB and your email SERVER are governed by that KB. So, even if you set the other settings (e.g., "Delete On") correctly, they will be irrelevant if your email service does not support it (as per that KB).
Further still, reconciliation between your email SERVER and your PC CLIENT software are something completely separate. Only in a very few circumstances (e.g., IMAP) does (for instance) Outlook reconcile items deleted at the Server down to the PC Client.
Good luck!

Why can my 8500 A Plus not download forms from the web?

Why can my 8500 A Plus not download forms from the web?

Hey indianadave,
Are you're apps working from the front panel of the printer? You will want to make sure that you have internet connection to your printer. If you don't, you can follow these steps:
1. Find your printer's IP address.
2. Enter the IP address in the address bar of your internet browser.
3. Click the network tab.
4. Click IPv4 under the wireless/wired menu on the left hand side of the printer screen.
5. Set Manual settings.
6. Set a Manual preferred DNS of 8.8.8.8 and alternate DNS of 8.8.4.4.
7. Click apply and try downloading the forms again.

Cannot download mail from the server after a particular date

Hi, I just set up my pop3 account on the Iphone. That was easy
I started downloading the mails. It download all the mails till Wednesday morning and then just stopped. Since then I've tried to re-install the email account, download the mails again, reboot the handset but nothing seems to work. Each time it only downloads the mails till Wednesday morning and stops there.
My Gmail account on the other hand works fine and is up to date with the email notifications.
Any advise on how to go about this?
-B

Most POP3 clients delete messages from the server on download. Are you positive you don't have another mail client set up somewhere (on your home or work computer) that may have already pulled them down and deleted them from the server?

I did the latest download for my iPad and now I can not download anything from the App Store or iTunes. Please advice how I can fix this problem?

I downloaded the last update on my iPad and now I can not download from the apple store or iTunes. I just sits there and continues to act like it will but nothing happens. And then it times out and goes back to home screen. Have a 32 so have have plenty of room.
What would you advice I do? I purchased this iPad in dec 2013.

Double tap your home button to bring up the most recently used apps.
You'll see the app icon below and a screen shot of the app page above.
With your finger swipe the app page above the app icon upwards to fully close the apps (you should do this regularly).
Now, reboot your iPad. Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart. You won't lose any data or settings.
When your iPad comes back up, see if you can download again.

Can't download mail from the server icloud account

My icloud mail account will not download messages. I'm unable to access my inbox.
The message displayed when I push to download is can not connect to server.

Does your ISP offer a separate account for additional email addresses or are additional email addresses what is called an "alias" account or address to the primary account?
A separate account for an additional email address with the same provider has its own user name.
An "alias" account or email address to a primary account shares the same user name and password as the primary account.
You can created separate accounts in Mail with the same provider which has the same incoming mail server and you can use the same password for both accounts as long as each account has its own user name which is usually the portion of the email address in front of the @ sign and with some providers it is the entire email address.
I have set up the 2 email accounts within Mail, but when
trying to edit and save the "Advanced" preferences for my
2nd email account, I get an error message saying something
to the effect: " [email protected] is already being
used by another account".
This error message indicates the additional email account you created in Mail shares the same user name and password as the primary/existing account which you cannot create as a separate account in Mail.
If so, there is a way to access an alias account or address to a primary account without creating it as a separate account.
If so, do not delete the additional account created yet.

One socket and two ports, not getting response from the server

Hi everyone,
I am working on device which communicate through Tcp sockets, It has an IP address and one port for listening and another for sending the response.
Problem is that I am able to create a connection to Device ip+port, and i am trying to listen on the same port while the device is sending the response on other port. My problem is that i can't create another socket using this port and therefore not getting the response from the device.
Can you people tell me how to handle such socket communication in java ?
Thanks in advance.

I am working on device which communicate through Tcp sockets, It has an IP address and one port for listening and another for sending the response.Are you sure? That's not usual. It would be usual for it to use the same port for listening, reading, and writing.
Problem is that I am able to create a connection to Device ip+port, and i am trying to listen on the same port while the device is sending the response on other port.I would try just reading from the same socket you are sending on. I suggest you have misunderstood how the device works.

HOW DO I DOWNLOAD MAIL FROM THE SERVER

In the past, Thunderbird had a simple command , "Get Mail" That has disappeared as far as I can tell. Need to get my messages off the server as some just disappear if I leave them there too long and I never can tell what "too long" is.
Thanks
Vic Tennery

Get Mail has not been removed, but yours may be hidden.

IMHO, unless you have a formal service level agreement with your email provider, you should view all email stored on their server as transient and not guaranteed to be there tomorrow.

I cannot download messages from the server - although the line at the bottom says they are being downloaded.

When I try to download, a pop-up appears showing AVG is scanning emails, and the line on the left bottom says dowloading 1 of x messages, and nothing further happens. When I go to server and open web mail, the messages are here and can be read, but won't download to desktop.

Don't let AVG scan your Thunderbird profile folder.

Can not download music from the cloud.

It worked the first time immediately after install but never again. I have enabled automatic downloads of music. I see the iCloud icon on the select bar immediately below the search bar with moving diagonal lines, but nothing seems to download. When it worked, the Apple icon in the center box was replaced by a progress bar for each song that was being downloaded. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you already checked your settings for the iTunes & App Store? Are you using the same account on both devices "Settings > iTunes & App Stores"?

Mail Won't Quit, and Keeps Reloading Old Mail from the Server

I recently had an apparent laptop battery failure while in Mail (while on battery). The machine abruptly shut down with no warning with about 55% power still available. It did this subsequently at random power levels. But, it always worked on the line power adapter. There have been no recurrences with a new battery.
Since I archive all my mail on my desktop machine, the laptop is set to NOT remove messages from the server after downloading.
1. After the first power failure with Mail active, on restart I got message from Mail to the effect that there was something wrong with the mail indexing, and if I would do X (don't remember what), then it would be fixed. I did X, and the system came up.
But, it had lost track of which messages had already been downloaded. Every time Mail was launched in downloaded the entire contents of the server spool, leading to massive duplications.
2. Then I discovered that I could not quit the application. If you tried, the first time it would close the message window, but remain active on the menu bar, with the "Quit" box grayed out.
I could force it to quit, but that may have been leading to it forgetting which mails it had already read.
I have run the disk utility, including the permissions check, and it reports that all is well.
I have reloaded Mail from the System disc, with no improvement.
I have tried deleting the com.apple.mail.plist file. But when Mail opens and brings up the Setup window, it fails to find the outgoing mail server.
Replacing the new plist with the original fixes the outgoing problem, but whether the new or old plist is in place, the multiple downloads and failing to quit both happen.
Since all of these attempts, a new symptom has emerged:
3. When dragging the Inbox messages to the trash (or using the Delete button), they do go to the trash, but remain in the inbox as well.
Any thoughts?

FYI: I found that there were two very-similarly-named folders in the users/(home)/Library/Mail folder.
One was called: POP-(username)@(ISP popservername).(ISP domain).
The other was called POP-(username)@(ISP popservername)@(ISP domain).
They both contained some of the core mail boxes, e.g. Deleted Messages, INBOX, Junk etc.
However, only one had the file: MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded.
I copied the user mailboxes elsewhere and trashed these two folders. But opening Mail recreated them with all the same issues.
I trashed them again, along with the (boot disk)/Library/Mail, and the (bootdisk)/Applications.Mail.app file.
Then I reloaded the Mail app from the OS 10.5 Install DVD.
Launching Mail and setting its preferences cleared up the problem. Only one of the pop folders showed up and it correctly tracked the already downloaded files, and quit normally when asked.
