TS3276 how do i filter out junk mail on macbook pro

is there a way to filter the junk mail i recieve

You can add rules to apply to incoming messages - for example, I throw everything from senders that are not in my address book into the Junk mailbox.  From there, I can easily scan the senders and subject lines to see if the message might be something I do want to look at, and the rest I toss - junk mail can be erased without looking at it.

  • Why doesn't Mail on my iPhone filter out Junk mail?

    Can anyone tell me why Mail on my iPhone 4 does not appear to filter out Junk mail?
    Maybe I'm oversimplifying things but I would have assumed the same features and functionality as in Mail for OS-X i.e. you can mark any mail received as 'Junk' if the filter hasn't recognised it as such.
    Or is Mail in iOS just not that smart?

    Thanks, that sounds a reasonable argument although it would be nice to be able to mark/filter directly from the iPhone as I don't always have access to either my Macbook or iCloud when I'm overseas for long periods and the Junk mail just keeps building!?
    Wasn't having a 'dig' at Apple or it's developers; am a long term share-holder so I trust you know what you're doing!

  • How to set column headers in Mail on MacBook Pro?

    In Mail on my MacBook Pro I have a number of columns set as a default view in Mail - To, Subject, Date etc
    I want to add Mailbox (as I have more than one mail account) as a default header.
    When I right click on the header bar and add it, it works but next time I log on it's gone again.
    How do I add Mailbox as a column permanently?

    Can anybody help me with this?
    I anticipated it would be quite a straight forward issue.
    I presume I've posted it on the right forum but please advise if not.

  • How do I find out what OS my Macbook Pro is running?

    I have a Macbook pro that I purchased a few years ago.  To my knowledge, I have never upgraded the OS.  However, I'm not sure.  How do I find out what OS I'm running and what I'm eligible to upgrade to?
    Thank you in advance for your help!!

    10.7 or Lion is already out and has been for over a year.
    The one that is coming is 10.8 or Mountion Lion.
    You will need to buy the DVD for 10.6 but not for 10.5.
    After you upgrade to 10.6.8 then you can use the App Store to download and install either 10.7 or 10.8 when it is release later this month.
    This is provided your Mac mets the hardware requirements for them.

  • How do I find out what year my MacBook Pro is?  I want to know if I can use the mirroring function with my Apple TV if I download Mountain Lion.

    I'm trying to find out if I can use the mirror function to look at large construction drawings using my Apple TV.  It says that my MacBook Pro has to be early 2011 or newer and I can't remember what it is.

  • Why can't Apple Mail filter out junk mail like Gmail?

    Gmail does a great job of filtering out spam.  Lately, iCloud is doing a miserable job.  It appears to have gotten much worse in recent months.  Apple's official advice on this is laughably ineffective.  Why can't Apple's do as well as Google at this?

    How would we know?  We aren't iOS developers.

  • How Can I Turn OFF Junk Mail Filter for IMAP Accounts Only?

    I am trying to figure out how to turn off the Junk Mail filtering for IMAP accounts such as .Mac/.ME and GMAIL. All filtering is working fine on the server side, and reviewing the mail that is tagged is easy enough by just going to the account and displaying the folders created on the server.
    I've checked the Junk mail pref and although the Advance settings let you isolate specific accounts to check, it does not give you the option bypass checking an account.
    i.e.
    if <Any> of the following conditions are met:
    <Account> <is not> <Gmail (IMAP)>
    As is, the mail rules are working perfectly on the server side, but in Apple Mail, many mails are being sent the Apple Mail's Junk folder.
    When going through the Gmail's instructions on setting up a Gmail account for Apple Mail, it specifically says to turn off Junk mail filtering for the account, but I can't find any options to do that.
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    TIA

    I haven't tried this, but it should work:
    Make a new rule,
    If <Any> <Account> is <Gmail> or <Account> is <.me> then "Stop evaluating rules".
    Move this rule to the last in the list of rules.
    In the Junk Mail preferences, be sure that "Filter junk mail before applying my rules" is unchecked.

  • How can I find out the mail server from email address?

    Hi:
    How can I find out the mail server from email address?
    for example: If I know the email address is [email protected],
    how to find the pop3 and smtp mail server?
    THANK YOU

    You can't tell by the email address since you can pretty much put whatever you want in there (especially if the SMTP server is not filtering anything).
    The header may be able to tell you something. There is a Received header value which looks like it has the routing information although I am not sure if this is a complete trace or just the last hop the message took.

  • How can I add a "junk mail" mailbox?

    How can I add a "junk mail" mailbox, or any other mailbox to my email?

    If you have an IMAP email account then you can create additional folders by logging into your email account on a browser and creating them there - they should then appear in the Mail. If you have a POP email account then you're stuck with the folders that you've got.

  • How can I empty the Junk mail folder in Yahoo without opening the messages?

    How can I empty the Junk Mail folder in Yahoo without opening the messages?

    You can swipe across them on the left and delete them unread. Unfortunately there is no 'delete all' option in mail.
    Or you can just ignore them on your iPad and empty the junk folder when/if you access your mail online.

  • How can i get my junk mail on my ipad?

    How can i get my junk mail on my ipad ? I only receive regulare e-mail on my ipad. Offten regular mail is placed into junk mail.

    With an IMAP account along with storing the account's junk mailbox on the server with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account.
    All server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account will be available automatically when accessing the account with the iPad's Mail app along with all server stored mailboxes kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account. You will also be able to transfer a legit message from the account's junk mailbox to the account's Inbox mailbox.
    None of this is possible with a POP account.

    How Do I Get My Junk Mail Icon Back Under MAILBOXES ?
    It seems to have disappeared and I have know idea what I did.

    In each account, is Junk filtering enabled -- Mail Preferences/Junk Mail? Also, have you selected (account by account) to move any Junk message to the Junk Mailbox?
