Why did Mail randomly start sending emails to junk folder?

My mail app suddenly started sending important emails to my junk folder. I have been using mail on all of my devices for some time and have never changed any settings since I started. With the exception of some emails here and there, I have never had any issue with it. For whatever reason this week it just started sending almost everything to my junk folder. Does anyone know if theres any way I can fix this? It seems to only be my gmail account that this occurs.

This is not working for me either, as of a week or two ago. Junk mail is marked as junk, but stays in my inbox, regardless of my junk mail settings. I have it set to move junk to the junk folder, but Mail simply refuses to do so. I tried changing the setting, closing preferences, opening prefs and changing it back, but that does not help either.
Sadly this is the least of my problems with Mail in Leopard. I've had nothing but problems with it so far and I'm getting really frustrated. I'm running out of patience and ideas and it may simply be time to wipe out all my mailboxes and preferences, reimport all my old mail and start over from scratch again.

  • Why does Mail change the sender email address?

    My email address from work has a subdomain: "[email protected]".
    Although my mac Mail account is set up correctly with that email address in the account settings, when I send mail, users receive it showing that the sender (from:) is "[email protected]" - it drops the subdomain and replies to that address get bounced back.
    Does anybody know why this is happening?
    Thanks -

    In the From header of the copy of the message in teh sent box,
    it reads correctly as [email protected]
    Does this provide me a clue?
    Sure it does. What you see in Sent is what Mail sends to the outgoing (SMTP) server. If the message gets changed afterwards, some agent other than Mail (probably the outgoing server) is doing it...
    I know that Gmail’s outgoing server, for example, does this. In order to be able to use Gmail's SMTP server with another address, you must first enable that address in Gmail's Settings > Accounts page, and let Gmail validate it by verifying that you do indeed own it. If you don't do this, even though Mail will correctly send the message from the address you specify, Gmail's SMTP server will silently change it to the address associated with the Gmail account that corresponds to the username specified during SMTP authentication, instead of refusing to send the message as other SMTP servers would do in those circumstances.

  • How Do I Tell Mail Not To Send Emails To Junk?

    I upgraded to 10.9 recently and am working through a few hiccups.  For example:
    My Mail sends some incoming emails to the Junk folder.
    The ones I'd like to see I add the sender to my Contacts but some keep ending up in Junk.
    Any idea how to tell Mail that a specific sender is okay and those messages should go to the Inbox not Junk?
    I'm running:
    OSX 10.9.4
    Mail 7.3
    Contacts 8.0
    Thanks

    Thanks Eric.
    One newsletter in question came through unmolested today so maybe, as you say, Mail learns.
    I had to laugh.  The email notifying me of your help ended up -- where else? -- my junk folder!
    Thanks again.

  • N Mail, when using "reply all" why does Mail automatically include my email address in the cc line? Whey would I want to include my email address in an email I am sending.  Anybody have any idea how to stop this?

    In Mail, when using "reply all" why does Mail automatically include my email address in the cc line? Whey would I want to include my email address in an email I am sending.? Anybody have any idea how to stop Mail from including my email address in the cc line when using "reply all"?

    Automatically cc myself is not checked.  I did find out that if you have multiple email address that all of them need to be associated with "My Contact" tab.  Thanks

  • My iPhone has suddenly started sending emails in Courier New (rather than the standard Arial).  They appear in Arial when I compose them, but turn to Courier new in the sent folder and when displayed to the recipient.  I use Yahoo Mobile Mail.  Help!

  • TS3276 Mail has started sending duplicates of a message, especially group messages.  It also opens 2 windows for writing a new email.  Help.

    Mail has started sending duplicates of a message, especially group messages.  It also opens 2 windows for writing a new email.  Help. How do I fix this?

    Unfortunately there isn't official commercial support for Mozilla Thunderbird from Mozilla Corp.. I believe some contributors here ([http://mozilla.magicfab.ca myself included]) do offer such support, though.
    ''Before doing anything else, please do exit Thunderbird completely and [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb#w_backing-up-a-profile backup the profile folder] - it contains all your email, settings, filters, etc.''
    Regarding your issue, it looks like the mail folder information may be corrupt. In the left pane, in the folder list, right-click on the Sent folder and select '''Properties'''. Choose "'''Rebuild Index'''" or "'''Repair Folder'''" - do you even have that option? Once done, exit TB completely and restart it.
    Updating to a newer version will help anyone help you, if only because some of the documentation for older Thunderbird versions is a bit harder to find and testing to try & reproduce your problem will be harder. Don't do this just yet, though :)
    After this issue has been addressed I would suggest considering using IMAP if your provider allows you to, and of course archiving your email to Local Folders and doing regular backups of your profile.
    If you want to arrange commercial support, contact me via the link I provided above and we can discuss rapidly. Otherwise I am fine continuing here, however I can only reply as time permits. I am in Montreal (so, EST time zone).

  • Why has mail suddenly started saying that my outgoing mail server is offline?

    Why has mail suddenly started saying that my outgoing mail server is offline?
    I can receive mail from my ISP using Apple Mail but as of this morning I can't send via my ISP.
    When I check Mail preferences, they say that my ISP's outgoing mail server is "offline".
    I haven't changed any settings, so  what's gone wrong? I need a fix. At the moment I'm having to use Gmail.

    If your email is hosted by Google then there are several known issues with Apple Mail under Mavericks accessing Gmail.  Using a web browser is a good backup.  In Apple Mail you can goto the menubar, choose Mailbox and choose take all accounts offline.  Then bring them back online.  Worst case you may need to delete and readd the account (usually if something was setup wrong) Menu bar - Mail > Accounts.
    If you have turned on 2 step Google Authentication then you'll need to issue a specific email password for Apple Mail to use to bypass authentication.  Google the steps.
    Best of luck in getting your mail server online.  Hopefully you can specify multiple servers in settings.

  • TS3276 Mac Mail won't send emails with signatures

    My Mac Mail won't send emails with signatures. I get the "whoosh" sound and they show in sent mail, but the recipient doesn't receive them until I take off the signature and resend the email. Without a signature, it is received. It never used to be a problem, but started this past month. Please advise!

    Did Earthlink have you try using their authenticated SMTP server?
    If not, try changing Earthlink's SMTP server settings to the following:
    SMTP Server: smtpauth.earthlink.net
    Server Port: 25 or 587. Assuming Earthlink is your ISP, 25 should work.
    Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): Off or not selected.
    Authentication Type: MD5 Challenge-Response. Not sure if this authentication type is available with 10.2 and if not, select Password.
    User Name: Your entire Earthlink email address.
    Password: The password for your Earthlink email account - the same password used to check the incoming mail server for new messages.

  • Mail can't send email from 123-reg accounts

    Hi all,
    I've got an issue with Mac Mail can’t send email from 123-reg accounts.
    I know there is a lot of articles on simular matters and some I have tried out with no luck, others are just speaking a whole other language.
    Any help would be greatly recived, here's my situation below:
    Running a iMac 2.8GHz Intel Core i5 on OS X 10.8.3
    I’m using 3 accounts on Macs Mail client, one is my iCloud account that is working fine and the other two are my 123-reg accounts that I use for business purposes. I’ve been working like this for a couple of years now and about 6 months ago I upgrade my operating system from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
    2 or 3 months ago I randomly got a problem where I was unable to send any emails from my 123-reg account, I could only receive emails. I checked my settings and they were all correct and unchanged so I attempted to delete them and recreate the account but with no such luck.
    I then decided to check if it was a problem at 123-regs end and attempted to log into web mail. This worked and was able to both send and receive emails so eliminated that possibility.
    I also have these accounts set up on my iPhone, so checked if there was any issues and everything was working fine. I then checked my iphone details and made sure the same was on my desktop and still no such luck.
    I’ve tried out some of the articles I’ve found on here (the ones written in plain English) still no results. I’m not very IT illiterate and just wondered if anyone else has got any ideas, whether there is something specific with 123-reg accounts and Mac Mail?
    Many thanks.

    Thanks
    I just had another hunt around looking at posts and discovered that it was because I recently changed to BT Infinity and they had a block on.
    I didn't even think to question the ISP.

    Go to your email provider's setup page and check what the settings for the SMTP server are supposed to be. Most good providers will even have instructions on how to set up Mac Mail.

  • HT5361 Mac OS X Mail 4.6 sends emails that other email clients don't recognize as attachments, but as embedded pictures. Mail 6.6 does not have this problem.

    My Mac OS X (with 10.6.8 software) Mail 4.6 sends emails that other email clients don’t recognize as attachments, but as embedded pictures. When I receive emails from others, I do not see whole image either. I did change "rich text" to "plain text" in message format - no results.
    My daughter has Mac (10.8.5) with Mail 6.6, which does not have this problem. Can I install 6.6 instead of 4.6 or do you know other fix?
    Help, please?
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    I've been having the same problem now for several months (at least 3-4 if not more). And the frequency of Mail quitting is increasing, several times in a few hours. And as with you, no particular message pops up before hand or not even the beach-ball spinning first and then quitting.
    I too have been sending Apple the crash reports. However, I have not contacted Apple Support yet. Hoping to find the answer in this forum, but again, no luck.
    If you have found a solution since then, please advise. Or if anyone else out there knows of this issue and can help, that would be greatly appreciated.

  • Mail does not send email

    My problem is simply that Mail does not send email.
    I have just migrated from iMac G5 to iMac Intel by using Migration Assistant. Everything else works just fine and I can receive email. However, if I try to reply, forward or send a new email message, Mail just does not do anything - no error message, nothing.
    The fixes I have tried so far are removing the Mail plist file, repairing disk permissions and mailboxes. Of course, I have checked the account settings, especially outgoing server settings. I also reinstalled Mail application with Pacifist. None of this has solved the problem. I have tried sending email with Thunderbird and it works with no problems.
    Does anybody have any suggestions how to fix this issue?
    The OS is 10.4.8, Mail Version 2.0.6 (749.2/752.3), all the suggested software updates done.
    iMac Core Duo 20" 2GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Reinstalling Mail is rarely necessary or appropriate to solve a problem. It certainly cannot fix anything that could be wrong within your home folder or at the server or with the network, and may even introduce new issues if not done properly. Moreover, in Mac OS X 10.4 you don’t need Pacifist to reinstall Mail, you could also do it as described in the following article:
    Custom installs in Mac OS X 10.4
    Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, if the version of the system software on your install disks is earlier than what you’re using now (and only in that case), then you must also reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, to bring Mail back in sync with the rest of the system:
    About the Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update
    Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for PPC
    Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for Intel
    The above won’t solve the problem. It’s just to ensure that you’ve properly reinstalled Mail, which you shouldn’t have done, and which apparently you didn’t do properly -- the version of Mail on your system should be 2.1.1, not 2.0.6.
    The original problem could be caused by some Launch Services cache or preferences corruption. The following article describes how to manually reset Launch Services -- the notes at the bottom of the article also provide information about the side effects of deleting each of the files involved:
    Resetting Launch Services
    If you prefer using a cache cleaning utility instead of following the manual procedure described in the previous article, this other article provides links to some utilities that can be used for troubleshooting and cache cleaning:
    Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
    It seems that the most appropriate utility for solving this particular problem is Tiger Cache Cleaner, but you may also want to consider other utilities, such as OnyX, or Cache Out X, which are free. Whatever utility you choose, be sure to read this first:
    Side effects of System cache cleaning
    As an example, this is how you should proceed with OnyX:
    1. Quit all applications.
    2. Launch OnyX and enter your administrator password.
    3. Click Maintenance. In the Reset section, check LaunchServices database.
    4. You may uncheck any other pre-checked options if you wish.
    5. Click the Execute button.
    6. Restart the computer.

    Why did I get this stupid email, because my banking dates are the same as before and creditcard is everytime paying ??????? So what's going on?

    Hi.  I checked on the order and it says the order is currently being processed and I should check back tomorrow. I'm mostly just concerned because I got an email saying the order was on hold, and I want to make sure it actually does go through and I'm not just waiting for a delivery that's not going to come. I'm still confused as to why I'd get an email saying I had to call the fraud department only to be told I shouldn't have called the fraud department.
