Spam/Junk mail button

So where exactly are the "Spam" or "Junk Mail" buttons in iPhone OS

The iPhone's mail client does not include a junk mail filter.
With an IMAP account, you can leave the email client on your computer that is used for accessing the account launched and running, which includes a spam filter. You can store the account's junk mailbox on the server with an IMAP account. Any message received that is marked as junk with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account (and moved to the account's junk mailbox stored on the server) will be reflected automatically when accessing the account with the iPhone's mail client. All server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account are kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account.

IDEA: Junk Mail Button on WebMail Sync with Mail.app

Feature Request to Apple / .Mac
JUNK MAIL BUTTON ON WEBMAIL
Recently I have had to log into the .Mac website to read my email via the WebMail page. I usually read my email on my Powerbook with the Apple Mail app. I was astonished to see how much spam I was receiving! Mail.app was doing a fantastic job filtering out the junk mail (Kudos to the Mail developers). But that only happens on the client locally, not on the server. WebMail is almost unusable for me!
Wouldn't it be awesome if there were a "Junk" button on the web interface that saved the Junk filter on the server like it does on Mail.app??? I think gmail and others do this. But Apple has a huge edge here. Perhaps using iSync, the Mail.app could syncronize the Junk rules and my personal filters with the WebMail server. I would gladly PAID EXTRA for this feature!!! As far as I can tell, no other application/service does this (syncronized filters). Here's the kicker: on one of these discussion boards we could post filters for one click sharing. So if I come up with a great filter for screening out "male impotence mortgage stock market plans" spam that works well, I could share it with you. Maybe it could integrate with Brightmail?
I would love to hear an Apple Mail.app product manager reply to this idea. I think this is a service that Apple could make some money on, and satisfy customers at the same time.
Please post a reply here if you think this idea is good or *****.
Cheers,

Hi Eric
you should probably submit your idea to http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/
I don't use webmail myself - so I'm not well placed to judge it.

HT4865 Spam/junk mail

How can keep spam/junk mail from getting in to my inbox? Lately I've been inundated (on a daily) with spam.

Add your contacts to VIP folder. Quickly go through regular folder and if you see anything that you need move to VIP as well, delete the rest. Using VIP for contacts allows to concentrate on important. I have been using Hotmail like that, they allow to use inbox for contacts only and everything else goes to junk. Takes me one minute a day to purge through 50 emails, pull two or three that I need and delete the rest.

Mail Version 2.1.1 (752.3) Junk Mail Buttons Don't Work

I have ... Reset junk mail.
The problem occurs before and after junk mail is reset and junk mail learning mode is active for any number of days.
When I get junk mail in my inbox and click on it once and then use either the "Not Junk" icon in Toolbar or "Not Junk" button in message header, Mail treats the message as not junk. When another e-mail arrives from same sender, it's again marked as junk. I've noticed that some messages revert to the "junk" colour even after they are marked as not junk.
I've repaired permissions and restarted the iMac and restarted Mail app.
Wonder if I have the latest version of Mail? Please help. Thanks

Have you made any changes to the junk filter in Preferences > Junk Mail > Advanced? Try this:
1. Go to Preferences > Junk Mail, disable junk mail filtering, then enable it again. This resets the junk filter rule.
2. Choose either Training or Automatic mode (it doesn’t matter) and leave the other options checked. Click Advanced to see how the junk filter rule is defined now if you want, but don’t change anything there.
3. Reset the junk filter database (Preferences > Junk Mail > Reset).
You can use the Colors palette (Format > Show Colors) to manually change the background highlight of messages in the message list. Although the Colors palette cannot be used to set the foreground color, it can be used to remove it. In particular, choosing either black or white removes both the background highlight and the foreground color of the messages currently selected in the message list.

Spam/Junk mail--am I "sending" spam?

I have been receiving a large amount of junk mail lately--50+ messages a day. I also have been receiving a large amount of "rejection" messages from accounts that I don't even know from places all over the world.
From reading some threads here, it seems that an infected Windows machine somewhere that has my email address may be sending these rogue messages....
This morning I got a message from my mail provider stating that I have exceeded my "daily limit" on outgoing messages...I'm not sure if this was an issue with their server (an hour later it worked fine) or if my Mac is actually sending some rogue messages or if an infected machine is actually using my mail server/account to send messages.
Thanks!

Infected or not, no machine can actually send spam through your email account unless it has that account's password. The fact that you are receiving both lots of spam & lots of rejection notices indicates that your email address (but not your password) is probably on one or more spammer's "known good" address lists. These lists provide not just target addresses for spam but also forged sender ones to make spam look more legitimate to others.
Your provider probably imposes limits on the number of messages you can send, the size of each message, the number of recipients per message or per day, or some combination of these. If you are sure you know the limits for your account & have not exceeded any of them, you should contact the provider to find out why the notice was sent, since this may mean that someone does have your account password.

SPAM/JUNK MAIL

hi,
We are using exchange 2013 and office 365. all the configurations have been done well and we are up and running, however users complain they receive junk mails. i have enabled the policy in the content filtering i.e. apply sensitive word list and SPF record,
but still get junk emails.
i do not wish to apply policies, that will be block genuine mails as well.
kindly help me on this.
K.R

Hi,
I suggest double check the content filtering configuration if you sure the issue is caused by the content filtering feature.
I also find an article on Anti-Spam and Antivirus mail flow for your reference:

Erase Junk Mail Button greyed out

In Yosemite, 10.10.1 with mail 8.1 (1993) the Erase Junk Mail options are greyed out, both in the menu and the action menu at the bottom left of the mail viewer window. I cannot figure out how to get it back. I've rebuilt my mailboxes. It happens on all of the accounts. I have an iCloud account, a gmail account and several pop accounts.

I had this problem and was able to solve it by enabling junk mail filtering. I had it turned on before in Mavericks, but apparently that setting didn't come over for some reason or other. Mail > Preferences > Junk Mail > Checked the box next to Enable junk mail filtering I personally like the When junk mail arrives: Move it to the Junk mailbox, so I selected the appropriate radio button for that as well. Good Luck and hope this helps! 

"Erase Junk "Mail" button is not active

I just went into mail and saw that I had 4 emails in my junk folder. I went up mailbox>erase junk mail, but the button was dead - greyed out. I had to drag the junk mail to the trash folder and then empty trash. Is there a problem here or a fix?

As it works just fine in my installations I agree that something may be scrambled, but it is not general, boot into safe mode and try again, post back.

Spam/Junk mail elimination

Recently the junk/spam mail has increased tremendously. I've bounced, applied rules and it doesn't seem to help.   I have Mail Version 4.5 (1084). I really don't want to continue to apply rules daily. Any ideas?

Hello Patricia,
You can relieve much of the pressure by following Apple's well written guide ...
Mail > Help > solving problems.   It takes time and patience to go through it all but your reward will be seen in a much improved Mail.
One thing I noticed ... "I've bounced".   This is generally thought of as an unwise practice.   Most spam is sent out more in hope than expectation.   The spammer hopes there will be someone to con at your address and the very act of bouncing mail clearly indicates the address is live.   Just ignore and delete.
Hope this helps you.

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.

Invisible junk mail

when something goes in my junk mail folder, you can't see it. you open the folder and it says 0 messages, even though in next to the mailbox it says i have 20, or whatever.
this does not matter most of the time, of course, since it is junk mail. EXCEPT. occasionally i have accidentally clicked "junk", because the junk mail button is located next to the "get mail" button (a design flaw, in my opinion), and tagged something as junk that i don't want to.
then, because i can't see what's in my junk mail, i can't tag it as "not junk".
very frustrating. any help much appreciated, thanks.

This doesn’t make sense. Special Mailboxes is how the Mailbox Behaviors panel was called in Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther), but according to your system profile you’re running Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)...
So what version of Mac OS X are you running? Please, fill in the Computer Model and Operating System fields on your My Settings’s profile with the right information (and click Save). This is essential information that should always be accurately provided when asking for help...
Actually, if you’re running Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther), as appears to be the case, it would have been more appropriate to discuss this in the Mail & Address Book - Mac OS X 10.3 & earlier forum. If the discussion applies to both Mail 1.x and Mail 2.x, it doesn’t really matter, but it’s difficult to know that in advance.
Report the names of the files and folders present at the first level of the ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/ account folder in the Finder.
In order to post the exact file names and avoid typing mistakes, proceed as follows. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/. With that folder open, if you’re looking at it in View > as List mode, first collapse any expanded folders so that the Finder only shows the files and folders at the first level. Now, do Edit > Select All (⌘A), then Edit > Copy (⌘C), and paste it in your reply to this post.
You’ll probably see a Junk folder without the .mbox suffix there. If that’s the case, quit Mail and rename the folder to Junk.mbox. That should fix the problem.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

Deleted junk mail keeps appearing

I have a problem with Apple Mail. There are several junk emails that I delete, they go to Trash, and I delete them there. But they keep reappearing in Junk Mail.
The dates on them are the original dates. It seems as if I can't delete them.
Has anyone had this problem?? Is it something "coded" in the emails themselves?
Thanks for any help!!!!

two of the gmail accounts (jeffersonculture and schwartzbeer) and the modwest account (BRNW).
I wouldn't have posted the comment if this wasn't happening. I've used the spam/junk mail filters directly on the gmail & modwest online accounts in question. I am still getting the spam on the Mail client.

How to never get junk mail

Help ^^^^

Greetings christopherfromnewnan,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It would be great to never receive spam / junk mail. There are several strategies that can help reduce, and hopefully eliminate, the amount of junk email you receive. You can find some good tips in these articles:

All the best,

I have several imap accounts and want to click one button to empty all junk mail at once. How can I do this?

I currently run Apple Mail on Lion with several IMAP acocunts... I know that there is a right-click option to remove "all deleted" messages but what If I wanted to do the same for all messages marked at junk in all accounts. It's really a pain to have to click on each account, select all the junk in the junk folder, press delete over and over.. and then right-click and select "Erase Deleted Items" Why the heck can't they just have "Erase All Spam Items" also... ?? Or how about "Erase all SPAM and DELETED ITEMS from ALL accounts" ????

I found the solution and here's how to correct things:
Apple Mail
Mail has a feature, accessible from the Mailbox Behaviors (or Special Mailboxes) tab of the Accounts preferences, that can automatically delete old spam messages from the Junk mailbox. You can use this feature if you tell SpamSieve to put spam messages in the Junk mailbox instead of the Spam mailbox.
(Note: If you do this, be careful not to use the Junk and Not Junk buttons that will appear in Mail when the Junk mailbox is active; you should always use the SpamSieve - Train as Good and SpamSieve - Train as Spam commands instead. You can use the Customize Toolbar… command in Mail’s View menu to remove the Junk button from the toolbar. Also, if you select a message that SpamSieve has classified as spam, Mail will show a banner saying that you marked it as junk. Ignore this.)
Make sure that Mail knows which mailbox is your Junk mailbox by selecting it and choosing Mailbox ‣ Use This Mailbox For ‣ Junk.
To tell SpamSieve to use the Junk mailbox, open Mail’s Preferences window and click on Junk Mail. Make sure that Enable junk mail filtering is checked. Select Move it to the Junk mailbox. If Mail asks whether you want to move all the messages to the Junk mailbox, say No. Next, select Perform custom actions. Then click theAdvanced… button and edit the rule such that the conditions don’t match any messages. For example, use these two conditions:
Message is addressed to my Full Name
Message is not addressed to my Full Name
and set it to If all of the following conditions are met. Click OK to close the sheet. Do not make any further changes to the Junk Mail preferences.
Go to the Rules section of Mail’s preferences and change the SpamSieve rule to move the messages to the Junk mailbox instead of the Spam mailbox. Finally, chooseSpamSieve - Change Settings from Mail’s Message menu and, when prompted, say that the name of your spam mailbox is Junk.
