"Spam vs. Junk" in Mavericks Mail

Up until upgrading to OS X Mavericks - in my Mail application, 2 separate folders "Junk" and "Spam" appeared, and different e-mails automatically fell into each -- my "Spam" folder disappeared upon upgrade to Mavericks...where'd it go? Do I now have to log into each of my mail servers in order to clean these out?

If it was a Gmail account, it is now under the Junk Mailbox folder.
If you have any of the basic four folders (Drafts, Sent, Junk, Trash) separate in your IMAP server mailboxes, you can set them to be incorporated into Mail's unified mailboxes. Mail had previously captured the ones it was aware of, but left the others un-unified. All of Gmail's folders are now integrated.
To use an IMAP mailbox for a specific purpose, select it, then choose Use this Mailbox For from the Mailbox menu and set if for the appropriate function.

HT6030 In mavericks mail, I can no longer collapse the preview pane. I don't want to acknowledge receipt of certain spam messages so changing the size of the window isn't the answer.

In mavericks mail, I can no longer collapse the preview pane. I don't want to acknowledge receipt of certain spam messages so changing the size of the window isn't the answer because they are no longer unread.

Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
Anyways I digress.
So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.
Answers in a postcard :-)
Much love

Where is the Junk Folder in Mavericks Mail?

Apple swapped out busted hard drive and installed 10.9.5. Where is the Junk Folder in Mail??? I've now spent about a half hour searching for the answer and no joy. Please help.

It is part of mail but if missing you could go to the top and pick mailbox and pick new and name that Junk.

There's a big "thumbs down" icon that should be in your toolbar, so long as you have junk mail enabled in Mail's preferences.

I forgot my security question and when I click a reset to my email link the email doesn't show up not in my spam or junk folder anywhere, any help?

I want to make an in app purchase on a game but it asks for my security question (which I can't remember) I click on can't remember where it takes me to safari on Apple.com where I press send reset security question to my email I click it it says it has sent so I check my inbox and it's not there and it's not on my spam or junk mail. All help appreciated, thanks in advance!

Because Apple sends it to a Rescue Email address that you are supposed to setup or already have. In case of the latter you need to check the rescue email.

Are you able to receive any mail at all? If not, make sure that all of your information for mail is accurate in settings again. if you still have nothing, go to your email through safari. (example: www.yahoo.com) If you do not see the emails here either, it is a problem with the password reset server not your mail app.

Spam help! and group mailing help.

Hi I recently setup mail services for a client with around 100 users, between two domains on an Xserve. The service is running fine but they are getting tons of spam. I created the junk and not junk users and they have been forwarding the ones that slip through, as to train the filter. This just doesn't seem to do the trick, as they are still getting a lot. Their old EMS server I removed had quite a few filters and seemed to be doing a much better job that tiger mail services. My question to you is: Are their some common IP addresses i should be blacklisting? What are you guys doing to reduce the spam. I am no stranger to Apples server products but am a newbie when it comes to mail. Most of my clients use an ISP or PC based solution for their mail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, the same client says on his old server he could send a message to [email protected] and everyone on his server would get it. I tried creating a group and adding everyone to it. I sent a message to the [email protected] but it was rejected. He really doesn't want a full fledged mailing list. Is there a way to get this done? Thanks guys.

No. There is no automatic option for sending to all users with the Mac Server.
You need to setup a mailing list or create an alias that forwards to all your users.

Given your post, it's hard to tell how much customization you have done. Assuming you have done no more customization than you have shared in your post, then the following instructions should help.
Download and install spamtrainer:
http://osx.topicdesk.com/spamtrainer
(#1) If you have not made a lot of custom modifications to the server, in terminal ... run:
sudo spamtrainer -f
This will Fix the amavisd/spamassassin configuration on OS X 10.4.x (in particular, this applies the symlink fix for Mac Server that needs to be made for proper SpamAssassin learning).
(#2) Then, run ...
sudo spamtrainer -a
This will add some additional SARES rule-sets to your configuration.
(#3) Then run ...
sudo spamtrainer -i
... and set up are daily cron script for SpamAssassin learning.
Once you have run these steps, be aware that SpamAssassin needs to learn at least 200 junk/notjunk e-mails before it kicks in. You will not see any impact from the learning process until you've fed SpamAssassin with at least 200 e-mails).
(#4) You need to optimize the SpamAssassin levels in your amavisd.conf file. Review this post by Pterobyte that outlines some suggested levels and make the appropriate changes for your client's system.
(#5) Finally, if you are using OS X 10.4 Server and you want to lock down down your Postfix restrictions, download Pterobyte's "Frontline Spam Defense" at:
http://osx.topicdesk.com/tutorials
This will cut down on more than 50% of the spam hitting your client's server before it ever gets to their content filter.

How can I transfer all my files from Mavericks Thunderbird to Mavericks Mail

How can I transfer all my files from Mavericks Thunderbird to Mavericks Mail?
Bonjour,
C'est ma première intervention aussi je ne sais pas si je peux m'exprimer en français.
Je tente!
Lors du passage à Maveicks, j'ai basculé sur Thunderbird car je ne souhaitais pas utiliser POP mais Mail ne le permettait pas (du moins je n'ai pas réussi)
Aujourd'hui, je souhaite revenir sur Mail et, pour celà, je dois rapatrier toutes mes données de messagerie depuis Thunderbird.
J'utilise Imap et, pour gérer ma messagerie, j'ai créé des boîtes aux lettres dans Local Folsders
Le passage par Eudora ne fonctionne pas avec Mavericks.
L'import de boîtes aux lettres depuis Local Folders de Thunderbird (via le menu Fichier) ne permet de transférer qu'un seul courier par boîte aux lettres de Local Folders. Et c'est ce qui m'empêche de passer à Mail.
Merci d'avance pour votre aide.

Is there a way to import Outlook 2010 emails to Mavericks Mail without 3rd party software?

I'm hoping that there is a fairly straight-forward way this can be done.
My friend has just purchased a MacBook Air with Mavericks operating system. This is her first Mac and she needs to get all her old business emails onto her new MacBook.
She paid for '1 on 1' Apple support and had a session with an 'expert' yesterday - taking along her old PC laptop in the hope that he could help her. He basically told her she should 'start a new life using Mail'. This is not what she needed to hear.
I'm using Mail version 5.3 on my 5 year old MacBook with OS X 10.7.5. I don't want to give her incorrect advice but my version of Mail allows one to Import mailboxes but not, unfortunately, it would seem emails from Microsoft programs for the PC.
My question is this -
Once she has created an Outlook Data File (.pst format) is there a way she can convert this to .mbox format so that the data can be imported into Mavericks Mail without the use of third-party software?
I'm sure that she's certainly not the first person who has faced this situation but, from the attitude of the (less than helpful) Apple help person I fear that the answer may not be yes.
Cheers
Tricia

Do you know where she should look on her Outlook program to find this out? She hasn't started using Mail yet because she hasn't been able to transfer her emails - so she's still sending/receiving emails from her laptop PC.
No idea, I try not to have anything to do with Outlook except provide a way out of it for the sensible. But aren't you an Outlook user?
Here's the link to the site I found -
http://www.outlooktomail.com/buy-now-for-mac/
That should be fine, it is the same as the one in the Mac app store (which would be the preferred version to use)
My 'help' situation is a little worse than it would first seem - we're in different countries (very grateful for Viber) - her attention span for matters technological is rather short so I'm trying to make everything as painless as possible - and yes, she has backups of her backups so all should be well in that regard.
Thanks so much for your help.

Mavericks Mail-cannot scroll down to select a group by holding mouse button.

I do not like the new Mavericks mail. When I attempt to hold the left mouse button and scroll down to select a group, the program automatically locks onto the first message I touch and moves it. Prior to Mavericks scrolling was an easy process. This new mail is very clumsy and I have to select one message, then hold shift key, then selelct the last message in the group. ....Clumsy and slow.
Does anyone know a workaround for this? The tutorials don't address it and the "What's new in Mail?" file doesn't either. If there is not a workaround, is there a way to disable the Mavericks configuration in Mail and go back to regular mail? I'd appreciate any tips or help on this.

Okay, I tried deleting the Finder preferences first (along with a handful of other preference files that I knew were no longer needed), and it seemed to help--at first. But eventually, all the same problems started happening again, so I concluded that it was necessary to just start with a fresh (empty) preferences folder. As you know, this is a pain to deal with, but I limited my pain by moving all the old preferences files into a folder on the Desktop rather than simply deleting them. That way, I could just put back any missing preferences that were too hard to recreate. Restoring all of my preferences with new (uncorrupted) prefs files will be an ongoing process, but the good news is that this effort (so far) seems to have solved the problem. Mail is responding to all my clicks, even when I switch between different apps and different spaces. :-)
Now that things are working correctly, I notice that when I switch between apps and/or spaces, the selected app (or the frontmost app in the new space) will show an active state for its window, whereas before, the selected app didn't update to show that it was active--it kept the inactive state for its window. I'm no expert, but it seems to me that this might have something to do with the windowserver process, so it might make sense for the next person who stumbles on this thread to start by deleting any preferences files that begin with com.apple.windowserver. Just a hunch, but it's worth starting there before you do a complete flush of all your preferences.
Thanks again for the help--hopefully this workaround will be persistent. Fingers crossed!

Maverick Mail - How to have default where attachments are "View as Icons", and not to display entire document

When I attach files to Mail 7.3 it often displays the entire file, not the icon. I find this highly annoying. Yes, I can one-by-one right click on the document and instruct Mac to send the file as in icon only. But I would prefer Mavericks Mail to default to a convention where all attachments are icons, not viewable docs.
Any fix for this?

try this:
Open a Terminal window.
Type this (it must be exact): defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool yes
hit return
restart mail.

In Mavericks "Mail" I am unable to access the BCC: line or to put a contact on that line for sending.

In Mavericks Mail I am unable to access the BCC: line for sending a blind carbon copy. I open my Contacts list, select a person, and when I click on the BCC: box above in the Contacts window, the person is not entered onto a line in the email for receiving a BCC: and the BCC: line does not even appear. Thoughts from all you experts out there?

I managed to find the answer to my own question. As shown in the screenshot below, the header field area on a new message contains a small lined box in the lower left corner of it. If you click on the lined box, it allows you to customize the Header field, such as adding a BCC: line.

I inadvertently removed the junk mailbox from Mail.app in SL, how can I recreate / restore it ?

Hi,
Well, the title says it all : I inadvertently removed the junk mailbox from Mail.app in SL,
it still is spresent in my ~/library/mail folder, how can I recreate / restore it in mail.app ?
Since I have a fair number of email accounts, intelligent mailboxes, rules and archive folder, I really don't want to rebuild everything. And, no, I can't use time machine to restore it.
All help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi AdamKB, sorry for late follow-up.
What I lost is the "container" that groups all junk mailboxes in one place in Mail, like is done for all the inboxes.
The problem is that I lost visibility on all junk mailboxes. It is only a visibility problem because the junk mailboxes are still present locally for my POP accounts and remotely for may IMAP accounts, I justdon't see them anymore in Mail's interface.

List of CC's in Mavericks Mail App

Whenever I receive and display an email in Mavericks Mail, my name always appears first in the list of cc's, no matter the order in which the sender of the email put them.
How do I change this back to what 10.8 Mail App did, i.e., by simply displaying those in the cc line according to the manner in which the sender put them?
Thanks!

It does it in the To: field too (when there's more than one address in the field), which I find even more disconcerting than the cc: field. In business, there are nuances implied by which name comes first, second, third in a group email. This very definitely should be an optional setting that is not turned on by default. If anyone knows of any way, no matter how complex, to resurrect the previous behavior in Apple Mail of preserving the email address order selected by the original sender, I would love to get that information.
Apple has been twiddling with with Apple Mail over the last several releases of the operating system, and in almost every case it seems that they're making bad choices, not good ones. I still prefer Apple Mail over Outlook, but when the next version of Outlook comes out I all need to consider it carefully. There are many other good choices out there, but I absolutely have to have an application that directly supports the creation of Exchange accounts. That greatly narrows down the field.
