Where are my emails - in the Spam folder!!!!!

I use Gmail and use it to fetch emails from the forums to which i subscrible having given them my Bt internet emai address.
All was going well and I must admit to being lazy in checking my BT/Yahoo mail page. However, I have been doing this recently and have found that now, a lot of email that Gmail should have fetched had been festering away in their Spam folder. I ticked all these and marked them as 'Not Spam'.
Most annoying and there doesn't seem to be a setting in 'Tools' or options where I can alter things.

You could try setting up a mail filter so that any mail that is addressed to you is directed to a separate folder as it arrives.
I think you can even specify the Inbox as the folder.
If you right click on a mesage, an option appears which says "filter messages like these"
You can then specify what you want to do wil the message.
You can edit your filters by going to the mail options menu.

  • I just upgraded to OS X 10.6.7 and mail is putting most of my emails in the Spam folder.  I move them to the appropriate folder, but is there anything else I can do to "train it"?

    You can see that most of my question is the title.  I just upgraded to OS X 10.6.7 & have a minor problem.  Mail keeps putting most of my emails into the Spam Folder.  I then move them to the appropriate folders (I have several email accounts)  Will this eventually train the program to know what is spam & what is not or am I stuck with constantly doing this?

    Returning to Mail Preferences - Junk Mail, in the section
    When junk mail arrives:
    select mark as junk mail but leave it in my inbox
    This should then give you the opportunity to mark it as Not Junk
    and after several days it may improve.
    I say 'may improve', based on my experience of when I upgraded to 10.5 a few years ago.  It took a while to learn what I kept insisting was not junk. It is a slow learner but it got there.
    P.S. When you are satisfied it is identifying junk reasonably accurately, you can change the Preferences setting back to  'Move it to the Junk mail box'

  • Spam mails are not deleted from the spam folder

    In the account settings, I have set the spam mail to be automatically deleted after one day. In spite of that, spam mail in the spam folder is not automatically deleted at any time, even if I restart Thunderbird. In the end, I always have to clean the spam folder manually.

    Thanks for your quick answers!
    I realized that I didn't select the option 'enable adaptive junk mail controls for this account', but, even selecting it, the junk mails are not automatically cleaned. I tried restarting Thunderbird, restarting the computer, and even manually changing the date and restarting Thunderbird, but nothing worked.
    I checked the entries in the advanced configuration, and they are all correct.
    My aim, as it was with the other problem I posted, is just to help to improve the development of Thunderbird by pointing the bugs. But they are actually really minor issues and not a real problem for me. So don't worry if the problem is not finally solved.
    And thanks again!

  • Where is the spam folder-I can't receive certain emails

    I haven't 2 received emails that might be in the spam folder but I can't find a spam button.
    Can you help, please?

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
    Or is problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird?

  • HT3228 Please let me know how to avoid receiving the spam into my email accounts on the iPad.  It is very annoying! My server puts it in the spam folder...why do I get it on the iPad?    Is it avoidable and how?

    Please let me know how to avoid receiving the spam (from the spam folder on the server) into my email accounts on the iPad.  It is very annoying!
    My server puts it in a spam folder and I do not receive it in the Ms Outlook on my desk computer...why do I get it on the iPad?    Is it avoidable and how?b

    You actually cannot do anything to your ipad when its locked but look at pictures the time and date, you need to restore it, and if it dosent let you restore, good luck chuck Heres how to restore it: Okay, i only know the itunes way soz, lol. Try to connect your ipad to itunes, if it does let you then you should be able to select the device you have in the corner somewhere, once you do that you should see a screen that looks sort of like your ipads setting, you should have a button that says "Restore" click that and your ipad should be restored. If that dosent work you should try going to your regular office depot or something. Good Luck!

  • After updating my phone, all my old emails in the sent folder are gone. Can I retrieve them?

    After updating my phone, all my old emails in the sent folder are gone. Can I retrieve them?

    Try a reset by pressing and holding the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears.
    If the issue persists, delete the email account then add it back.

  • Dotmac email in AOL spam folder

    I noticed an interesting situation in the last few weeks. I am seeing some of my dotmac email showing up in my AOL spam folder. I suspect Mail is the cause.
    I use Apple Mail to read email on a dotmac account with two email addresses and email on an AOL account. At work I use Mozilla Thunderbird on a PC to monitor both accounts. Because the email seems to be transfered from one server to the other, I reasoned that Thunderbird must be doing it. I quit using Thunderbird for the last week, and instead used the web interface to check mail for both accounts. The strange reshuffling of email continued. I began using Thunderbird again and quit using Mail. The behavior stopped. So now I suspect Mail is the culprit.
    I plan to continue using Thunderbird, while not using Mail for the next week to see if it continues. Then I plan to go back to Mail to see if it recurs. I will keep this thread updated with my findings.
    I have used Thunderbird for the last year and have been using Mail for several years. I've not seen this before.
    Any thoughts, comments, suggestions would be appreciated.

    Yes, I have several rules to sort incoming mail into different mailboxes. Even if the rules are the root of this problem, it seems very strange to me that Mail shows email incoming to the dotmac servers ending up on the spam folder on the AOL server. I realize that the email might not actually be on the AOL server, but that is how Mail is showing it.
    I have temporarily gotten around the problem by disabling the AOL account while I check the two dotmac accounts, then reversing it to check the AOL account. This has solved the problem.
    I think I'll try to disable the Rules for a time to see if it also solves the problem.
    Incidentally, I've had trouble with a Smart Mailbox. I have one setup to show me incoming mail from several accounts, with other accounts not showing up. Twice I've had the Mailbox show me email from all accounts. Deleting the Mailbox and recreating it temporarily fixes the problem.
    Another detail I forgot to mention, I use SpamSieve 2.6.2.

  • Where are Invitation Emails for Apple Calendar Stored?

    Hi,
    When you add an event in Apple Calendar (prev. iCal) and invite an attendee, an email with an invitation is sent. Where are these emails saved? Where can you find the template that is used to create these emails?

    Hi Filip,
    What happens with invites depends on whether the calendar is local or stored on calendar server or not.  For local calendars (those under "On My Mac") the sent items will go into the outbox on Mail while the internat connection is broken. For server based calendars (iCloud, Exchange, Google calendar and other CalDAV calendars) the server is sent a signal via your internet connection and the email is made and sent from the server.
    You are not going to be able to stop a server based calendar using the method you subscribe.
    For local calendars you might want to look at my application iCal Reply Checker. It is shareware, but runs for 10 days before needing to be paid for.
    Best wishes
    John M

  • Mail is putting my emails in the draft folder even though they have been sent. What gives?

    Mail is putting my emails in the draft folder and leaving them there even after they have been sent. This is not happening all the time, but enough that it's annoying. What gives? and how do I fix it?

  • Where are my photos on the PC after sync with an iphone?  I know nobody out there is stupid enough to suggest to me that they are encrypted and inaccessible, right?  Seriously?  How stupid would Apple corporation have to be to do something like this?

    Where are my photos on the PC after synching with an iphone?  I know nobody out there is stupid enough to suggest to me that they are encrypted and inaccessible, right?  Seriously?  How stupid would Apple corporation have to be to do something like this? That would be just as foolish as making my music unusable on the PC...
    Okay, Let's assume that Apple is indeed THAT foolish.......How does one get the photos from the phone to the PC and still use them?

    The photos are still on your phone, and if enabled in your Photo Stream. They are not automatically transferred to your computer when syncing.

    All the emails in my Hotmail inbox on my iPad2 disappear after 3 days.  Also, although my folders are listed on the iPad, there are no emails in the folders.  How do I fix this?  All the emails appear on my computer.

    You can sync Hotmail via Microsoft Exchange. It will mirror your email account on your phone so that the account will look just like the one on your computer. Here are the instructions:
