Question: Junk Mail: How to extract groups of emails to add to blocked senders.

Hi Ernie
I need to find a way to extract lists of emails from Junk mail folder and add them en masse to blocked senders, without having to add them to my blocked senders one by one.
I have had the same email address for too long to change it, but I receive huge amounts of junk mail. I have so far barred nearly 2000 senders and have 1100 sitting in my junk folder form the last week. I barred them one by one, using RULES function...I simply cannot keep doing this.
I have MacBook Pro running Mavericks, plus iPad plus iPhone 5.
The problem is aggravated by the fact that Apple has a weakness in Mail: I may bar thousands of senders on my Mac, but the filter does not sync the barred addresses to my iPad or iPhone, so if I use Mail on either, I get many thousands of emails at once and have to mark them one by one to delete. It's ridiculous.
To solve this problem, I have decided to do is block all the senders in webmail.
However I still have the same problem with extracting multiple addresses from my junk mail folder in order to copy them into blocked senders list.
Genius Bar said it can't be done. I think they're wrong. There simply as to be (a) a location on my Mac where I can find a list of all those I have already barred; (b) a way to extract email addresses from groups of received mail.
I'd be grateful for some advice, please.

Is there nobody ot there who has a solution to my problem, please?

Returned Junk mail-How to delete for ever

I use to bounce junk mail and there was never a problem except from one sender 'iflorist. When I deleted those they just reurned back to the in folder. I tried dragging them into trash and they soon appear again in the in folder. I opened a seperate file for undelivered mail, dragged them into that file but after a few minutes they reappear in the original in folder.
This is POP mail
Someone suggested that somehow a loop has been created but can't say how to get out of it.
Any suggestions please as ther are about 30 of them taking up space.

Hi Dick, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Most of the time "bouncing" junk mail just lets them know they have a valid eMail address.
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist

Thunderbird has totally blocked junk mail, how do I unblock it?

Thunderbird won't receive any junk mail whatsoever, from time to time some emails labeled junk aren't as such. This is quite annoying as it forces me to use other email programs, how do I get Thunderbird receiving junk mail?

Is this a POP account? Where is the junk mail located in the Hot mail folders? Thunderbird only connects to the Inbox of POP accounts. If the messages are not in the Inbox of a POP account it cannot download them. Fix the Hotmail filtering so it stops placing wanted messages in a junk folder.

I keep getting loads of junk mail, how can I filter it out

I still get loads of junk mail, I think I am using the filtering correctly, is there an app out there that can help to cut it out. It just clogs up my mail and mail does not seem to learn what is junk mail and what isn't.

The next item of junk mail you receive, go to the Mail menu bar click Message / Mark As Junk Mail.
From the Mail Help viewer...
To change the junk mail filter:
Choose Mail > Preferences and click Junk Mail.
Specify which actions Mail should perform when junk mail arrives:
When you want to verify what Mail is identifying as junk mail, select the “Mark as junk mail, but leave it in my Inbox” checkbox.
When you are sure the filter is accurately identifying junk mail, select the “Move it to the Junk mailbox” checkbox.
To set up other actions, select the “Perform custom actions” checkbox and then click the Advanced button. In the dialog that appears, click Add buttons to add conditions and actions. To remove a condition or action, click its Remove button.
NOTE:To use the junk mail database when identifying junk mail, make sure “Message is Junk Mail” is one of the conditions (it’s specified by default). Otherwise, Mail uses only the conditions listed to identify junk mail.
Indicate the types of messages that don’t need to be evaluated by the junk mail filter. Typically, these are messages from senders you know.
To include your ISP’s junk mail detection in the filter, select “Trust junk mail headers set by my Internet Service Provider.”

You cannot create a group in the built in mail app. You need a third party mail app to do that. I have never used either app, but both of theses will fulfill that function.

How can I delete all my junk mail or a large number of emails in one go?

Please can someone tell me if I can delete all the mail in my junk or a large number of mail (100+) in go? I'm so fed up of spending 5-10 mins just selected each mail and deleting it one by one!
Please help or apple update ASAP. Even old school phones have a delete all button!
Thanks :)

But the iPad mail app does not have one. You must select them one at a time.

A Ton of Spam / Junk Mail - How to Make it Stop?!

I'd say over the last two months I'm receiving about 3-4 dozen "spam" messages. When it started I had not done anything particularly "different" on my iMac that would have triggered this. I noticed all the spams are sent from various "mac.com" accounts and have a similar "look" (as if they created by the same designer but always different messages) if that is any help. For a while I "bounced" the messages (in the past this seems to have ceased such spam) but no dice. Last weekend I upgraded from 10.6.8 to Mavericks and again, absolutely no difference. In fact, I do not even see a "bounce" option in the Mavericks mail program anymore. My email has always identified these as spam but they are still floating around in my inbox "marked" as spam while some go into the Spam -- either isn't the issue; my issue is stopping the mail in the first place!

I don't understand why all this spam is happening in the first place. I don't have a very active online presence...
When spam goes way up or way down a lot of times it is not directly about anything you personally did. Unfortunately that also means that you usually can't initiate any specific action that will stop it. Some examples for instance. One recent spam flood I determined to be related to a specific email address that I had given to one company, and that company's email database got hacked, so all of those addresses fell into the hands of spammers. In another case, I could tell that I got certain spam because a friend's computer got hacked and so her email address book was acquired by spammers. In both cases it was nothing I did. In both cases it was not about my "online presence." In both cases my email was in the possession of a trusted business and a trusted friend, not published in public, and it was what happened to them, not to me, that caused my email address to be leaked out into the wrong hands. There is nothing I could have done to prevent it, except to not use email to communicate with those trusted parties (not a realistic option in most cases). The only thing that helps is to use an email provider with a trainable spam filter that is known to work well.
The good news is that the spam level can often goes down on its own, although it can come back up later due to another random event.

Why has mail on the ipad grouped several emails from different people with different subject matter into one thread?

This is really annoying.
The email initially started with me sending to one person. Which we then conversed several times without any issues.
I then sent a separate email completely unrelated to someone on a completely different email address, but when they replied back somehow their reply joined the same thread as this other email i sent initially.
Thinking that it might be a one of... I ignored it.
However, just now, an email i created through the LinkedIn app, which i sent from LinkedIn to a contact, somehow joined that first thread, when the person on linked in replied back to me.
Obviously i receive an email to my Mail account whenever someone messages me on linked in... But why on earth would that reply automatically get grouped into the completely different thread of emails?
I NOW have emails to three different people who are completely unrelated with three completely unrelated subjects, that are appearing in one thread with no obvious way to separate these.
Any solutions or suggestions? I've tried to move them, but it will only let me move the the messages into different folders, and not my inbox as separate messages.

Hi Anya!
Thanks for the response. Regarding your question, Yes, I have confirmed that people were receiving multiple copies.
I've confirmed this as I had left a Gmail message open on my browser window and opened that same message from Mail: As I was writing the response from Mail, without sending anything, new notifications started to appear over the same message in the browser window, notifying me there were new messages from Myself! So when I started to open those "new replies", I came to the conclusion that as I was typing, a draft was being saved and sent as a new message at the same time, therefore sending a lot of emails until I finished to write the message without knowing...
Hard to explain but hope I've made my point.
Thanks!

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.

In Mail, how to view graphical HTML emails?

I have received an email in graphical HTML format — a series of venues and dates for a band in the form of a grid. It shows up beautifully in webmail, but in Apple Mail it shows uselessly as unformatted and unpunctuated text. Is there any setting in Mail prefs., or some other subterfuge, that would allow such emails to show properly in Mail?

More information:
I have found the following two threads that deal with a similar problem. In my case it is a matter of how data is displayed (as unformatted and unpunctuated text instead of in a grid) rather than pictorial images. Here is a screen-shot:
And here is the link to the online version, showing how it should appear:

HT5312 I forgot my security question answers. How do I send an email to my rescue email to get new questions or the answers?

I want to buy music but it asked me for my security questions answers and I do not remember them. I want to send an email to my rescue email but i don't know how.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com. Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE: This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address. Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466, and ask for account security. You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.

How do I group daily email to more than one recipient?

So I don't have to type the address manually each day? Thanks.

Hi,
I'm not on my Mac to double check, but I'm pretty sure you just address it to the group. I.e. if you have a group called 'Family', address the mail to 'Family'
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/2.0/en/ml1009.html
If you regularly send email to a group of people, use Address Book to create a group, and then address messages to the group name.

E-mailing: How to sent out an email to the Managers OUTLOOK express account

Hi Experts,
System is ECC6.0.
I hv requirement that, the sales orders comes from EDI into SAP. If there is a error in material (like,
non-sellable, not existing etc.), I need to trap this issue/error.....................fine, I did it and working fine.
But, in next step, I need to send out an email to the manager to his/her OUTLOOOK express(NOT work flow account) email account"s inbox, with a standard specified format!!!!
I do NOT think, work flow is necessorily involved here in this scenario!!!
So, let me know that,
1) Is WORK FLOW involvment i there?
2) How to get it done that, sending out email to OUTLOOK express account with a standard format
3) Any FMs, piece of code
replies appreciated.

Hello
I can offer two proposals:
1) Standard report RSEIDOCA is used to actively monitor IDoc processing.
This report can be scheduled in background and reports failed IDocs. Unfortunately SAP did not offer e-mail notification together with this report which is really a shortcoming. However, I have written a modified version of this report which allows to send e-mails (see below).
2) Another scenario we are using is to replace wrong partners/materials with dummy partners or materials ensuring that the IDoc will be processed under all circumstances. In this case we set the Purchase order number supplement (sales order -> header -> tabstrip Order Data: field VBAK-BSTZD) = 'ERR'.
Using a condition (transaction VOFM ) we trigger an ORDRSP IDoc if a new sales order has BSTZD = 'ERR'. This IDoc is forwared to SAP-XI and translated into an e-mail to the customer service.
The crucial parts of my report ZRSEIDOCA are shown below (adjust selection screen and notification routine):
