Where did this Spam folder come from and how to I "un-spam" emails?

Hello
I have my email account setup on my iPhone via POP. There is no spam folder on my email server.
Yesterday I noticed hundreds of emails in a spam folder in the folder list on my iPhone. When I log into my webmail this folder is no there, therefore I am thinking the iPhone has created it.
Firstly, how do I stop it from doing this?
Secondly, emails in there are from people who have successfully emailed me in the past without getting filtered into spam so how do I un-spam emails?
Is this spam a new iOS4 feature?
Ultimately I can resetup my email as IMAP but that will delete all the emails in this folder and I don't want to do that (so I suppose I'm going to have to manually move them all right?)
Many thanks for your help
Ken

If you are using Gmail, it is the All Mail label that has always existed, but Snow Leopard didn't show it.
You can disable it in Gmail's settings under Labels. Set it to not show in IMAP.
Some people experience problems when doing that, though. I did not.
I set up my Gmail as shown in this blog post: http://jeffschuette.com/2012/03/07/setting-up-apple-mail-to-rock-and-roll-with-g mail/
I didn't want Gmail storing emails that I had deleted, so I used his setup to stop it, and I also hid the All Mail folder from Mail.

Where did the "Archive" mailbox come from and how do I ditch it

Converting a Mac from SL to Mav and something new popped up. In the list of mailboxes below trash is one labled Archive. What is it? Where did it come from and how do I ditch it? It is empty.

Where did this music folder come from?

Today I noticed that there is sometimes a playlist titled "Maggie's Music" on my iTunes list. I do not have access to it, it askes for a password. Sometimes its not on my computer. I disabled file sharing on my computer, so why is someone able to access my music library and how do I stop it?

Go to the iTunes Preferences, click on the Sharing tab, and uncheck "Look for shared music". The playlist should go away and never return.

Where Did Skippidity (sp?) come from and how did it get there?

When I fired up Firefox this morning, I got a toolbar named Skipity (I think that's the spelling). I went into tools, found it, and removed it, but that isn't the point; I want to know where it came from and who authorized its installation. it popped up after the latest update and looks like it came from the download Youtube videos app I've had for a few months. It was nothing I would have installed, it just popped up on its own without asking permission.
I don't like most extra toolbars and would prefer a button that would pop up a toolbar when I wanted or needed it.
Is there another video download utility I can use that isn't so intrusive?
Tom...

I have immediately removed the Download Youtube video extension. Hope that is the end of Skipity. Now I can restart with other add-ons like Ad-block.

Where did SearchGBY add-on come from and how can I remove it?

When I opened Firefox this morning, it opened my home page, which is Google. All was well until I searched for something and noticed a change. I thought it was Google at first, but then I noticed SearchGBY at the top of the page, and then noticed an icon in the lower right of the browser window. I did not download this add-on, it does not show up in the add-ons for Firefox, no in my program files. I cannot delete it and I would like it removed.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Where did second streaming photos come from and how do I get rid of it?

If you what to keep your pics in the photo app, just turn off photo stream.

Where did this album artwork come from???????

Recently I sync'd my iPod (5G) and iTunes added an album cover to all my songs in the Rock genre. All my albums in the rock genre now have the same artwork on my iPod. However on my iTunes, the album artwork is correct for each bands individual album and there is only one album cover in each songs information file. How did this happen? This is the first time this has ever happened. There are even a couple of random albums I bought on iTunes where the album cover art was placed on some bands album art which have not been changed in a year, but on iTunes the correct album cover is the one shown on my computer screen. Am I making any sense? Can you guys help me??

Where did this LimeWire source come from?

I opened iTunes and see "[name] LimeWire Tunes". The name is the email address of a co-worker. 40 songs are displayed and I can listen to them.
Does anyone know why this shows up in iTunes and why it would be in mine? I asked the co-worker and she said she has never logged on to my computer... but she has used LimeWire.
Any ideas?

You're probably seeing the shared iTunes library from other computer on your local network. Go into the iTunes Sharing preference and turn off "look for shared music". If you don't want to similarly be sharing your iTunes library with other computers, make sure that the "Share My Music" option is unchecked.
And tell her the same thing: sharing tracks she acquired from Limewire could be a very risky thing to do on a corporate network. Most companies take a very dim view about downloading tracks from Limewire (or other peer-to-peer networks) since most such tracks are pirated.

Where did this overage charge come from?

Looked at my upcoming bill and noticed there's a data overage charge of $15 on it when I wasn't close to going over my limit... I went to my bill on the VZW website and it shows a 3.18MB "Megabytes" usage.
The only time I update/download apps is when I'm at home and connected to my WiFi and I monitor my data usage very closely when I am not home so I'm not sure where this extra data is coming from.
Is anyone able to tell me where this is coming from? I'd like to avoid phantom charges.

it is not uncommon for usage that hit another companies tower to be billed on the next month billing or even the month after but in most cases it will (or should) also list the dates the services were accessed from the tower.. so for an example.. in December I was traveling in Canada from the States.. I most likely would not see direct charges on my billing ..example roaming and data charges... until the Canada cell tower operators bills my carrier.. hence Verizon for the usage there.. the main delay in due to the usage NOT being that companies customer and they have to trace the service back to the correct carrier...

Where did this /weird directory come from?

Hello.
I just found an empty directory
/weird
created and owned by root. I didn't create it and I'm the only person using this computer. Err, should I be concerned by this?

(As per Snowmans tip - big pat on the belly to you Mr Snowman) According to the pacman log and the directory creation date, the offender in this case was the malevolent mono-tools.
Also gettext-mono and autopano-sift PKGBUILDs both contain the line ( mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/weird ) as well.
Cheers

Where Did This Router Address Come From? Can A Connected Machine Use This?

My primary G4 uses a dialup modem. I have it logged in now, and in System Preferences -> Network -> Internal Modem, I see an IP number in the Router field. On Internet Connect, it says "Connected to [this IP number] at 48000 bps". Is this the address of my ISP's DHCP server?
Under the Internal Modem in the Network list, I have Built-In Ethernet, set manually to 10.0.1.1 . I have another G4 now connected with a crossover cable, set to 10.0.1.2 . Is it possible for 10.0.1.2 to get to this router IP number through 10.0.1.1? Does Appletalk have to be active? Am I crazy for trying to do this without a router here in the house?

On a dialup connection the chances are you're using PPP, in which case the 'connected to' number is the ISP's PPP server.
As for sharing the connection with the other G4 over the ethernet link, sure. Just select System Preferences -> Sharing -> Internet and you can share the dial up connection with clients on the ethernet network.

Who knows where does this error message come from

I have a program wrote with visual age java of ibm.it runs ok in develope page. I exported it in a jar file, it run some minutes and abrrupted with a message like this:
*** panic: 16-bit string hash table overflow
abnormal program termination
who knows where does this error message come from and under which circumstance?

One thing that comes to mind is that the literal string pool is limited - do you have lots of string literals or itern() lots of strings in your code?

There is something on your iPhone (a music file, iBook, document or video) that belongs to another Apple ID. Only your wife would know how that file arrived there. Your iPhone is asking for the correct Apple ID for all of the files that are resident on the iPhone.
