What rules to use to stop unwanted mail

I keep receiving unwanted mails from Japan and tried to use rules to have these directly put in the waste but it does not work. I for example used the following rules:
if one of     contains     the mail address in question
transfer the message               to waste basket
I also tried
if            from              the mail address in question
transfer the message          to waste basket
but the messages keep coming.
Has anybody an idea how to go about it ?

Do not put the whole address string in the rule as it probably changes slightly for each e-mail. I always put in the From field only one or two words in the address that are common to the messages I want to send to junk or delete, i. e. comcast.
Have a nice day.

I was mailing a pdf, but because it was taking too long I force quite mail. Now it seems like it is still trying to send it, and mail won't collect my recent mail. What do I do to stop sending mail?

I have an email that I was trying to send, but now I want to stop it. I tried to force quite & re-booting, but it continues to try and send it. Sent mail shows 1 outstanding, but no message shows when I click on it. What do I do?

Ah, never mind. Looks like the problem finally resolved itself. Not sure exactly how, but it seems OK now.

I have a MacBook Pro how can I stop spam mail

How can I stop unwanted mail, i.e. Bulk mail and spam ?

You can't, other than by changing to a new email address and then never giving that out to anyone other and very trusted friends and families. All you can do is try to filter such messages. Mail in Mac OS X has a Junk Mail filter, as may your email provider, or you can use a third-party filter. I use SpamSieve and have found it well worth the cost. For identifiable senders, you can also set a Rule in Mail to mark junk messages as Read and move them automatically to the mail trash.

Every time one of my email addresses doesn't work on my mail app, due to wrong password or whatever, it deletes all of the contacts form my phone. What can I do to stop this from happening?

Every time one of my email addresses doesn't work on my mail app, due to wrong password or whatever, it deletes all of the contacts form my phone. What can I do to stop this from happening?
I have tried deleting the account and it deletes all my contacts. I have verizon and even using back up assistant, it says the contacts are there but they aren't. The only way i can find a contact is if I start to type a name in and new text but once i sent the new text, the name disappears and it just shows the number. Siri nor the address book don't recognize any contacts at all.

I cant find any reciept in my email or in my husbands email. I am going to attempt to call and speak to someone who can help me because this was not my fault except trying to be normal and update my phone!

Can i use Boolean Expressions in Mail Rules?

Can i use Boolean Expressions in Mail Rules?
I need to create a rule to check whether a message contains BOTH a first and last name of EITHER of two people.
For example, the rule im looking to create goes something like this:
If ANY of the following conditions are met:
message content - contains - john & doe
message content - contains - jane & doe
ive tried and cant seem to get it to work...
Message was edited by: mysterioso

AFAIK Mail rules do not support boolean expressions.
to do what you want you'd have to create two rules
rule 1
if ALL of the following conditions are met
message content - contains - john
message content - contains - jdoe
and similarly for rule 2.

Hello, I am running Mac OS X 10.9.3. Someone has been pestering me with unwanted e-mail. There used to be a feature that allowed one to "bounce" unwanted mail back to the sender, a message saying they have reached a wrong address. How do I do that now? TY

It is not available in Mail any longer (for quite a while, now).
You can add a rule to have Mail mark them as junk, or you could possibly log onto your Email provider's web site and block that address.

You might get better responses if you post in the Mountain Lion forum.

You can not access the backup directly.
Did you restore your replacement from this backup?
If so then you already have everything in the backup on your device.
If not, you can wipe the device and restore from this backup:
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
What is it you are worried about losing that isn't already on your current device?

What host name do I use for Hotmail incoming mail server?

What host name do I use for Hotmail incoming mail server?

Access the homescreen and tap "Settings."
Go to "Mail, Contacts, and Calendars" and tap "Add Account." Your iPhone should display a list of email service providers. Even though you are setting up a Hotmail account, you will be doing it first through Gmail on your iPhone. Tap the Gmail icon to create a new account. Enter your name and a user name and password for the new Hotmail account you will be making later. Enter "imap.gmail.com" in the "HostName" column. Press the "Save" button at the upper right corner of the screen.
Enter your name, email address, password, and the description of the account. Next, click "Save." You should now be able to check your email from the homescreen.
Enter "smtp.gmail.com" in the "Outgoing Mail Server." Enter the password for this Gmail account in the "Password" column. Enter user name for this Gmail account in the "UserName" column. Press the "Save" button at the upper right corner of the screen. Press the "Home" button to return to the iPhone's home screen.
Use the Web browser to go to Hotmail.com and create a new account. Use the user name and password for the account that you entered into the Gmail account on the iPhone earlier. Click on “Settings” after the account has been created.
Click on the "Settings" tab. Click on the "Forwarding" tab. Click on the "Pop/IMAP" tab and select "Enable IMAP." Click on the "Save” button. Click on “Settings” and select “Accounts” and then “Add Another Email Address” from the webpage. Enter the name of your existing Hotmail account in the column. Press “Save.”
Go to the inbox. Open the message from Gmail and click on the link in the message box. Select the “Options” tab and check the “Forwarding email” box.
Send yourself a message to your Hotmail account from an email client. Click on the icon of the Mail program at the bottom of the iPhone’s screen. The email you sent to Hotmail will appear in the inbox of the Gmail account in the iPhone's email.

Try turning off Siri in your Settings. Follow the steps on this page: http://www.imore.com/need-disable-notification-center-control-siri-access-lock-s creen-heres-how-ios-8
If this doesn't help, try resetting your iPhone. This won't delete your data stored on the phone.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button
Press and hold on the Home button
Keep holding both buttons until the display turns off and back on with Apple logo on it.
Alternatively, you may go to Settings - General - Reset - Reset All Settings

How do I stop my mail from send out my e-mails with the mobile me acct instead of my default provider? I have checked the "use only this server" in my provider account.

There is no such option/setting on an iPhone to determine this. Whether you can view the attachment has more to do with your connection, WiFi or cellular, and the size of the attachment than anything else. There will be a paperclip indicating the message includes an attachment regardless if downloaded with the message or not. When connected to the cellular network, if an attachment is below a designated size the attachment will be downloaded automatically. If over a certain size, you must select the attached file icon in the body of the message to download the attachment. The size limit varies by carrier/provider.
Tell her you're gonna leave her out of the Will if she doesn't stop .
