Why doesn't mail put my junk mail in my junk mailbox

Since I started using 10.9.2, the Mail program has misbehaved much less and I have been able to return to using it from Gmail. However, it puts all my junk mail (which it SAYS is junk mail) in my Inbox instead of the junk mailbox - even though I have instructed it in Preferences to move it to the Junk mailbox. Why? What can I do to correct this?

Can't anyone come up with an answer to this question? I'd be very grateful for any ideas.

Why doesn't my "notes" show within mail sidebar since the Maverick update?

Why doesn't my "notes" show within mail sidebar since the Maverick update?

Doing it over Wifi? I was having the same issue. I restarted my router and voila.

Why doesn't JavaMail work, but PHP mailer does?

I am trying to use JavaMail to send emails from my webserver. I've plugged in the host and the addresses are valid, but I am getting 550 errors. I've searched and found that I should change a setting on my mail server to allow relays from my webserver. However, we have a PHP mailer working on our webserver now, so presumably that relay is already in there. Why does the PHP work but the JavaMail doesn't?

Can you turn on session debugging and post the protocol trace that shows the failure?
The error codes alone are not enough, you usually need to look at the message included
with the error code.
Also, have you found the JavaMail FAQ?

Why doesn't iPhoto automatically open Mac Mail?

I'm hating iPhoto at the moment. I use Mac Mail so that I can keep track of sent mail. iPhoto doesn't do this. For example, I just discovered that a dead email account was still on the list in iPhoto preferences, so I'm not sure if the email I just sent went using my current or my old address. I naturally went to Mac Mail to check my sent list, but there is no indication that I sent an email to anyone.
I also do not like typing the email within a browser window. I would much prefer it when I click "share" that Mac Mail would automatically open.
I really, really wish Apple would solve this problem.

Go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete the mail account that's there. Then add it back and try Mail again.

Why doesn't Apple put the problems with ILife 2006 in their promos

Why did I spend 80 bucks upgrading to 2006.
Now I read here that people who do it are having the same problem I am that I cannot access my photos at all now.
I get a message that my files have to be updated and when I do that an error says to go to all related files and make sure the permissions are for read and write. I have gone not only to the Iphoto Library folder which the instructions tell you to correct, but to every folder I can imagine any of my images are in and changed to read and write permissions.
Still I have the same problem. Perhaps if you only have 53 photos in your database ILife 2006 will work, but apparently with two or three thousand it won't work.
And the Apple ads scream that you can now have a quarter million photos in the data base.
For heavens sake don't believe it and don't buy until they can fix it. I am going to try to reinstall 2005 and forget the stupidity of paying to upgrade.
If there is an answer out there, I will appreciate hearing how you solve it.

John, I have over 10,000 photos and it works. A friend of mine has over 40,000, and iPhoto works faster than iPhoto 5 did with 5000.
There is one problem though, and from your post it looks like you're encountering it - since iPhoto 6 is required to move your photos to a better organization (debatable for some but I like it) structure, it needs to move all your photo files. Usually if it can't move them, it assumes there is a permissions problem. Sometimes, there is another problem - if any file is "locked", iPhoto will still put up the same error. So here's how to correct both problems.
First: Go to your iPhoto library folder in the Finder and Get Info (Cmd-I). In the Ownership and Permissions, expand the Details section. Make sure you are the owner, and set the access to Read and Write. Then click "Apply to enclosed items" and authenticate. This should address any permissions problem throughout your library. If this fixes your problem, you don't need step two.
Second: From your /Applications/Utilities/ folder, launch Console. Click Clear to clear the screen. Launch iPhoto 6, click Upgrade and get that error. If you look in Console, it may give you a list of files that are locked. I'm not sure how this happens, but some files get that way. You have to go to the specified locations of those files in the Finder, and Get Info on them. Uncheck the Locked checkbox for all of them.
You will be able to access and upgrade your library in iPhoto 6 easily after this. If not, post back here. iPhoto 6, in my opinion, is one of the best upgrades, not worth missing out on.

Why doesn't itunes put my TV shows in the "TV Shows" section of my ipods?

Every single video I drag onto my ipods (I have 4, 3 classics and 1 nano) via itunes goes straight to the Movies section. I drag them into TV Shows and they don't appear there, they go straight to the Movies section. None of them are movies. Itunes won't allow me to drag them from Movies to TV Shows either.
How do I fix this? Is there some flag itunes is looking for to categorize them as TV Shows? They were all converted via handbrake with ipod presets.

Why doesn't Apple put a soft protective seal in between the glass borders and the metal frame to make it way less likely to crack the screen?

I have had 3 expensive apple products in my life. All of which ended up with a cracked screen. I realize you have to be careful but when the price is so high they need to invest in some design that prevents this tragedy. 2 iPads and one iPod all 3 fell one time and cracked with ease. And what's the cost too have it fixed? Unreasonable as well.

HT1694 Why is it when I delete my junk mail on my pc they don't disappear on my iPad or iPhone. As well when I put a file in a folder it doesn't go in the folder on other devices. Why is it that u have to delete junk mail one at a time. Very annoying

Why does my junk mail delete on pc but not on iPad or iPhone why do I have to delete each one seperately on these devices and why do my files go into folders on the pc and don't appear on iPad or iPhone

Not too sure about the last part of your post but you have to manage your emails on each device if you are using a Pop3 account. It is only IMAP which provides for synchronisation across all devices. If you are not familiar with this then Google IMAP AND POP3 for more information.

Why doesn't Mail allow a Junk IMAP message to be marked as "Not Junk"?

I don't understand the behavior of Mail (Lion) when it comes to junk mail from IMAP accounts. Mail has marked an email from an IMAP account as junk (judging by the brown text color) and has moved it to the Junk mailbox. For some reason, though, Mail doesn't provide the usual function to mark it as "Not Junk".
Mail does allow marking the message as Junk, which suggests that Mail actually didn't mark it as Junk properly in the first place. Fortunately, this also provides a workaround. When I mark the message as Junk, it gets flagged with the brown paper bag symbol. After that I can mark the message as Not Junk, which removes both the bag symbol AND the brown text color.
Still, I would rather see Mail behave differently. Does anyone have an explanation for this behavior or tips to alter it?

Soooo, Apple, why don't your crackerjack programmers make it possible to have multiple message windows open at one time in Mail???!
It's always been available for as long as I can remember.
Eudora is archaic, ancient history, IMHO.

Why doesn't "Mark as Junk Mail" learn?

I'm getting numerous Junk Mail messages a day, all actually directed to my main email-address. The senders adresses are always different, without something Mail Rules can get a grip on. The only thing left for me is to manually mark them as Junk Mail.
But often i get the same emails over and over again. Tomorrow i'll get, among several new ones, exact similar mails i thought i disposed of yesterday.
Why can't Mail.app learn to recognize these emails and mark them as Junk Mail automatically? I wanted to get rid of them yesterday, why would i want them today? This is eating me...

It's ok - i figured that you need to delete the account and then re sign in.

Why doesn't Mail on my iPhone filter out Junk mail?

Can anyone tell me why Mail on my iPhone 4 does not appear to filter out Junk mail?
Maybe I'm oversimplifying things but I would have assumed the same features and functionality as in Mail for OS-X i.e. you can mark any mail received as 'Junk' if the filter hasn't recognised it as such.
Or is Mail in iOS just not that smart?

Thanks, that sounds a reasonable argument although it would be nice to be able to mark/filter directly from the iPhone as I don't always have access to either my Macbook or iCloud when I'm overseas for long periods and the Junk mail just keeps building!?
Wasn't having a 'dig' at Apple or it's developers; am a long term share-holder so I trust you know what you're doing!
Was just trying to work out if it was anything I was doing wrong

Junk mail filter doesn't work all the time

Why doesn't the Junk mail filter work all the time? I click on mail like from Best Buy or Omni Hotels to go into junk mail but hardly any of their mail goes into Junk. Other sites go directly to Junk. If I click on a Best Buy mail to indicate it's Junk, shouldn't that work 100% of the time forever and ever?

The Junk filter is based on an analysis of the content of the message. It ignores the sender. (Filtering based on the sender is an ineffective way of dealing with true spam, since spammers use constantly-changing spoofed addresses.)
If you don't want mail from a legitimate sender like Best Buy, unsubscribe from their ads. If that doesn't work, make a Rule to delete or move the messages.

More junk mail since I've made and applied rules...why?

I was getting 6-8 junk emails a day. It was recommended that I use rules to delete them and prevent them from re-occuring. Now that I have applied the rules I am getting two to three times more junk mail. Why is this happening?

Because your email address has made the spammer's top ten list.
The rules won't prevent spam. They just move the spam to the trash.
Do you have the Junk mail filtering turned on in Mail's preferences?
It will attempt to identify incoming spam and move it into the Junk folder. If it doesn't catch a message, you can mark that message as junk and it might start learning that messages like that are junk. Also, it may catch some messages that are not junk. So, you have to periodically peruse the Junk mail folder to see if it has caught anything legitimate. You can mark those as Not Junk so that it will learn not to catch those.
"Thumbs Down" button marks it as Junk
The button turns to a "Thumbs Up" to mark it as "Not Junk". Also, there will be a banner across the top of the message where you can mark it as "Not Junk."
It is also advisable to set Mail so that it doesn't show remote images. When those images are loaded, the spammer can tell that you opened them because they are retrieved from their servers. That validates you email to them and they now have a more valuable email address they can sell to other spammers.

After installing Mavericks, why can I no longer delete junk mail on my iMAC Mail program?

After installing Mavericks, why can I no longer delete junk mail on my iMAC Mail program? Also, mail is sometimes slow to load in mornings on my iMac after it has appeared on my iPhone. I temporarily solved that by shutting down and reopening mail two or three times.

I have the same problem on my iMac. Most of what it puts in the "junk folder" is junk. I delete all of the messages in the folder and they're back the next time I check it. I have messages in that folder that have were received 2 months ago! I'm thinking of unchecking "junk folder" in preferences. Very frustrating.

Why is "erase junk mail" de-highlighted in the drop down menus. I'm not able to delete my junk mail box without doing each one individually. Simple, but please someone help with an answer. Thanks.

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!
