  • Spam/Junk mail button

    So where exactly are the "Spam" or "Junk Mail" buttons in iPhone OS

    The iPhone's mail client does not include a junk mail filter.
    With an IMAP account, you can leave the email client on your computer that is used for accessing the account launched and running, which includes a spam filter. You can store the account's junk mailbox on the server with an IMAP account. Any message received that is marked as junk with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account (and moved to the account's junk mailbox stored on the server) will be reflected automatically when accessing the account with the iPhone's mail client. All server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account are kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account.

  • IDEA: Junk Mail Button on WebMail Sync with Mail.app

    Feature Request to Apple / .Mac
    JUNK MAIL BUTTON ON WEBMAIL
    Recently I have had to log into the .Mac website to read my email via the WebMail page. I usually read my email on my Powerbook with the Apple Mail app. I was astonished to see how much spam I was receiving! Mail.app was doing a fantastic job filtering out the junk mail (Kudos to the Mail developers). But that only happens on the client locally, not on the server. WebMail is almost unusable for me!
    Wouldn't it be awesome if there were a "Junk" button on the web interface that saved the Junk filter on the server like it does on Mail.app??? I think gmail and others do this. But Apple has a huge edge here. Perhaps using iSync, the Mail.app could syncronize the Junk rules and my personal filters with the WebMail server. I would gladly PAID EXTRA for this feature!!! As far as I can tell, no other application/service does this (syncronized filters). Here's the kicker: on one of these discussion boards we could post filters for one click sharing. So if I come up with a great filter for screening out "male impotence mortgage stock market plans" spam that works well, I could share it with you. Maybe it could integrate with Brightmail?
    I would love to hear an Apple Mail.app product manager reply to this idea. I think this is a service that Apple could make some money on, and satisfy customers at the same time.
    Please post a reply here if you think this idea is good or *****.

    Hi Eric
    you should probably submit your idea to http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/
    I don't use webmail myself - so I'm not well placed to judge it.

    I have exactly the same problem, happy a few days ago. Did you find a solution?

  • Stopping Junk Mail once and for all.

    Hi everyone!
    Like most everyone I think that spam is rather annoying. I was thinking about how to get rid of it and came up with a very simple yet powerful idea. I've never heard of this way so at least in my own little world I can say I came up with it.
    The idea is this: You define a basic set of mail rules. The rules would be this:
    - If ALL of the following conditions are met:
    + Sender is not in my Address Book
    + Sender is not in my Previous Recipients
    + Message is Junk Mail
    Now of course using the rules that were set above are not at all a great way of defining spam, because someone trying to get a hold of you (such as a potential employer or long lost friend for example) will likely not make their way through those rules, and their message will be marked as spam. Here's where it gets good though! Instead of simply doing a message bounce, you can also add a custom message that goes along with the bounce, as if you were to reply to the spam yourself. Now of course you can make some dirty comments to the potential spammer, but the point of the auto replying is not to be mean or anything of the like. So before going further, here's what would basically happen:
    -=-=-=-
    I have automatically returned this message to you because I think it is spam.
    Original message:
    Is your girlfriend happy?!?! bla bla bla
    -=-=-=-
    Okay now back to the problem: what if the supposed spam message is actually not spam and is important? Well, not a problem! We now use the power of the custom response. Instead of just saying "I have automatically returned this message to you because I think it is spam," we can also add "If this message is not spam, please resend the message and include in the subject line the phrase "we2y9e5". So if the message was indeed a legitimate email and not spam, the original sender can now put the phrase "we2y9e5" in the subject field. And now that can be a custom mail rule! So in the end you'll have:
    - If ALL of the following conditions are met:
    + Sender is not in my Address Book
    + Sender is not in my Previous Recipients
    + Subject does not contain we2y9e5
    Perform the following actions:
    + Reply to Message [Reply Message Text...]
    + Delete Message
    So now if the Sender sends you an email with the subject "we2y9e5" in it, it will no longer be bounced back to them. From there you can add the Sender to your Address Book and have a new lifelong friend.
    Of course, if the message was actual spam, the spammer could just go ahead and put "we2y9e5" in the subject line and get through your new shield. This is in no way a problem though, because if people start using this method there's no way a spammer would bother looking for the phrase in an email. Even if they did, it's just a simple matter of changing your phrase and updating the rule that goes along with that phrase. You can even have a little fun and make it like a little puzzle, like "the phrase is the sound a cat makes" or something like that. Just don't make it too confusing, but you get the idea.
    No spam means it's far less likely for users to have their computer taken over by those who are up to no good. You won't have to nervously post your email on forums in some weird "this-is[delete this section]my-email [at] yahoo [d0t] com" format. Best of all you'll never have to go through your mail and delete spam again! Give this method a try and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
    I have attached some screenshots of how to set it up for those who are like me and would rather go off a picture.
    Happy emailing!

    There are a number of problems with this approach.
    1. You should not reply to spam, since in the unlikely event that the "reply to" or "return path" email address is actually owned by spammers, it will confirm to them that yours is a real, "live" email address. This will get it on lists sold & traded among spammers, increasing dramatically the number of junk messages sent to you.
    Note: bouncing spam will usually have the same effect, since (contrary to what you might think) it is easy to extract the "bouncer's" email address from the message Mail sends. Bouncing is really only effective if a human reads the reply.
    2. In the more typical case, the sender's address is forged, often with a real address of some entity, perhaps from one of these "known good" lists. Sometimes a real address is chosen specifically to victimize its owner, for instance to damage a reputation or to flood a mailbox -- sometimes this is the entire purpose of the spam.
    3. A lot of legitimate email is generated by automated systems with no human involved. Frequently these are alerts or advisories, telling you that if action is required it must be done by other than email means, such as through a web site or phone call. Some ignore all email replies, or take action only on those with specific subject or body keywords. It is often not possible to know in advance the email address this type of message is sent from; thus, you can not add it to Address Book until you actually receive an example.
    4. Even if the sender is a human & the message is legitimate, the "I think this is spam" reply may cause them not to resend a second version containing your special keyword for various reasons. Imagine for instance someone on a slow, dial up connection, or on a usage based fee service, or with any sort of quota limits to worry about. Or think about what would be required if some poor soul sent a first-time message to a large group, say for organizing a high school reunion, & many of them used this approach, each with their own special 'not junk' keyword.
    Basically, a good, effective junk filter must not generate a large number of false positives, & it certainly should not make things easier for spammers or harder for other users. I urge you to rethink this approach.

  • Mail Version 2.1.1 (752.3) Junk Mail Buttons Don't Work

    I have ... Reset junk mail.
    The problem occurs before and after junk mail is reset and junk mail learning mode is active for any number of days.
    When I get junk mail in my inbox and click on it once and then use either the "Not Junk" icon in Toolbar or "Not Junk" button in message header, Mail treats the message as not junk. When another e-mail arrives from same sender, it's again marked as junk. I've noticed that some messages revert to the "junk" colour even after they are marked as not junk.
    I've repaired permissions and restarted the iMac and restarted Mail app.
    Wonder if I have the latest version of Mail? Please help. Thanks

    Have you made any changes to the junk filter in Preferences > Junk Mail > Advanced? Try this:
    1. Go to Preferences > Junk Mail, disable junk mail filtering, then enable it again. This resets the junk filter rule.
    2. Choose either Training or Automatic mode (it doesn’t matter) and leave the other options checked. Click Advanced to see how the junk filter rule is defined now if you want, but don’t change anything there.
    3. Reset the junk filter database (Preferences > Junk Mail > Reset).
    You can use the Colors palette (Format > Show Colors) to manually change the background highlight of messages in the message list. Although the Colors palette cannot be used to set the foreground color, it can be used to remove it. In particular, choosing either black or white removes both the background highlight and the foreground color of the messages currently selected in the message list.

  • Erase Junk Mail Button greyed out

    In Yosemite, 10.10.1 with mail 8.1 (1993) the Erase Junk Mail options are greyed out, both in the menu and the action menu at the bottom left of the mail viewer window. I cannot figure out how to get it back. I've rebuilt my mailboxes. It happens on all of the accounts. I have an iCloud account, a gmail account and several pop accounts.

    I had this problem and was able to solve it by enabling junk mail filtering.  I had it turned on before in Mavericks, but apparently that setting didn't come over for some reason or other.  Mail > Preferences > Junk Mail > Checked the box next to Enable junk mail filtering  I personally like the When junk mail arrives:  Move it to the Junk mailbox, so I selected the appropriate radio button for that as well.  Good Luck and hope this helps!  

  • "Erase Junk "Mail" button is not active

    I just went into mail and saw that I had 4 emails in my junk folder. I went up mailbox>erase junk mail, but the button was dead - greyed out. I had to drag the junk mail to the trash folder and then empty trash. Is there a problem here or a fix?

    As it works just fine in my installations I agree that something may be scrambled, but it is not general, boot into safe mode and try again, post back.

  • Mail doesn't keep junk mail filtering and rules

    I noticed that all over sudden whenever I close mail the rules and junk mail setting in mails prefs are not kept anymore so that
    I have to enable each rule and junk mail filtering whenever I open mail again.
    Used to work fine.
    Any idea / remedy ?

    Open Disk Utility and Repair disk permissions on the First Aid tab.
    Then, Restart and boot into Recovery Mode by holding down cmd-r on restart until you see a gray screen. When the Mac boots, you will be presented with some options. Choose Disk Utility and select your Hard drive volume (Macintosh HD is the default name). Then, on the First Aid tab, click Repair Disk (not permissions).
    If that doesn't help, you could try installing the 10.8.2 combo updater from the Apple Downloads site:

  • Migrating Panther Mail.app junk mail db and rules to Tiger?

    My main server system is still running 10.3.9. I also run Mail.app there and I would like to copy my rules and my junk db over to Tiger's Mail.app. Is there a way to do it while leaving the rest alone?

    All the Mail data files are in the /Home/Library/Mail/ folder. Just copy the folder to the new system's /Home/Library/ folder. This will transfer all your Mail data.

  • How do I get my emails to appear without having to click the mail button and then refresh it?

    In order to get my emails I have to refresh the page once I click on the mail folder.
    How do I get them to show up automatically on my lock screen and in notifications, I do have them checked to do that but they don't appear.

    Go to Settings>Mail, Calendars, Contacts, then choose push in the primary window and in each email account's window.

  • Junk mail filter and feedback email address

    i dont get why you're putting the owness on apple? thats to be done on whoever is providing you with the email. is it your tv's fault that theres so many commercials when you watch a program?
    with that said, use gmail. its does a GREAT job filtering stuff i dont want.

  • (Junk-)Mail and setting up a new computer

    Hi all,
    Naturally, I do not very often replace my computer, but every time I need to set up a new computer I run into this issue with Mail.app which annoys me.
    I am a relatively heavy mail user (I have about 24.000 messages in my inbox on a gmail-account). I usually do not delete any mail, because I use my e-mail as my memory crutch for things past. However, if an e-mail is junk-mail, which I receive quite a bit, I delete it. To help me to sort the good from the bad, I use the Mail.app built-in junk mail control and generally, I am quite happy with it.
    But every time I need to set up a computer from scratch, the following happens:
    I set up Mail.app with my accounts.
    Then I set the Junk Mail preferences to: "Enable junk mail filtering", "When junk mail arrives: Move it to the Junk mailbox". I have my Mailbox Behaviors set to: "Store junk messages on server".
    Mail automatically moves tons of my legitimate old mail (this time more than 600 messages) to my gmail junk mail folder. That means I have to sift through the junk mail folder manually and pull out the legitimate mail while leaving the spam.
    This is a big problem for me, because potentially I could lose important older e-mails. I have my accounts set up as IMAP, thus the new machine will screw up my older machines, the iPhone and even the native gmail web-interface.
    My question: am I missing an "apply junk mail filter only to new incoming mail but leave my old mail alone"-button? Is there a work-around? Anyone else experiences this problem?
    All the best.

    Hi, Gustavo, and welcome to the Community,
    I know it will sound ridiculous, but if the new account was created using your e-mail address, change that account's password to take control of the account!  Remove any of your (or their) information - leave all profile settings as "blank" or "not specified."  I would recommend changing the passwords of your Skype account and your e-mail account as well, as proactive measures.
    Then, please report this incident to Skype Customer Service.  Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
    As you know you wish to contact Customer Service, skip past Step 2 of the instruction and proceed to Step 3, Continue Support Request.
    Best regards,

  • Missing Junk Mail and Reveal Triangles

    I'm trying to rebuild my Junk Mail box because it shows (in bold) the number of emails that come in but when you click on it to view them...there are no emails at all. I asked the MacFixit Forum how to rebuild my Junk Mail box and someone instructed to rebuild mail boxes, go to each mailbox and make sure that you click the reveal triangle if there's more than one account. Well the problem is...and didn't notice until now...I have no reveal triangles on my Inbox, Sent or Junk. I have them on the other mailboxes...so I can rebuild those by going to the top menu and pulling down to Rebuild. However, the Junk Mail box is greyed out so it cannot be clicked on. Moreover, my iBook that's running the same system Apple Mail...has triangles at Inbox, Sent, Trash, Junk, and any other folders that I have and I can see the Junk Mail...and I guess I hadn't noticed that mine on the iMac had disappeared. Anyone have any ideas how to get those back? Can I do anything like trash the .plist for Junk Mail in my Library? I'd just like to be able to see what comes into my Junk Folder before I trash it. Thanks a bunch.

    go to mail, select preferences, then go to the tab marked "junk mail"-
    click the radio button to "move it to the junk mailbox" and - voila! - your junk mail box
    is now visible again.
    (By the way, run your disk utility "repair permissions" and update your system to 10.5.4) - there are a couple of security fixes in that. Good luck, and hope that mail works for you now

  • Junk Mail only works after I disable and reenable Junk Mail Filtering

    Since installing Tiger, junk mail filtering does not work automatically. It neither marks incoming messages as junk nor moves them to the Junk folder.
    I am able to get it to work by selecting Preferences > Junk Mail and then unchecking "Enable junk mail filtering" and then checking it. Mail then asks to "Move Junk Messages" and when I respond "Yes" it marks the appropriate messages as Junk and moves them to the Junk folder.
    Unfortunately, it only works for the messages already received. New mail that is "junk" is not marked as such and appears in my inbox and I have to repeat the manual process to get it removed.
    Any suggestions for a more permanent solution?

    Will it also forget the "learned" junk mail? (That took years to learn.)
    No.
    The MessageRules.plist file stores all Mail.app rules including the default Junk Mail rules.
    All Junk Mail "learned" settings are stored in the LSMMap2 file also located at the first level within the Mail folder.
    Since the LSMMap2 file can become corrupt as with any other file, this file should be included with a regular backup of the Mail folder and the Mail.app preference file at Home > Library Preferences > com.apple.mail.plist.
    All Mail.app account information is stored in the Mail.app preference file.
    If you experience any problems with the Junk Mail filter, your options are using the Junk Mail reset feature which resets all "learned" settings or replace the existing LSMMap2 file with a copy of a working backup copy with the Mail.app quit before doing so.
    If the Mail.app preference file becomes corrupt (which I've never experienced but others have), when targeting the preference file requires re-entering all email account information. If you have a working backup copy of the com.apple.mail.plist file, you can replace the existing with the Mail.app quit before doing so without having to re-enter all email account information again.
    You need to replace an existing backup copy of the Mail.app preference file only after making any changes to account information or when adding or deleting an account in Mail.
    You may already have a backup strategy but if not, it is very important since it isn't a matter of if but when your hard drive has a partial or complete failure. I learned my lesson the hard way about 5 years ago. Without warning, I experienced a complete hard drive failure. I didn't maintain a backup at the time and none of the existing data was recoverable.
