    iCloud Reset junk mail filtering (iCloud)

    In an epic mistake, I selected “mark as junk” instead of “mark as read” on my entire trash folder. Inevitably, 90% of all my mail is now going to junk instead of my inbox. Ironically, some junk is coming to my inbox (although that was the case before as well). Is there a way to reset the junk...

    What triggers email rules in the Mojave Mail app?

    I thought I had it figured out. I'd use my fastest/newest machine to filter out junk mail with some Rules, and I'll be danged, the rules aren't being triggered for some reason. Simple rules too. Yet, if I remote in to the 'rule mac', and right click and 'Apply Rules', the messages disappear...

    iCloud Mail Whitelist

    I have an @icloud.com email address I'm currently using for job hunting and I have noticed some VERY important emails have been filtered into the junk mail folder. One of this was almost a missed opportunity! Is there a way to add certain emails to the 'whitelist' so it is not filtered into...

    Mail going into Junk and auto deleting

    I've known for a while that some of my mail is going straight into junk and almost immediately being permanently deleted. I have no way of finding out if it was junk or not unless I happen to already be in my Junk Mail folder on my Mac when the mail comes in and I can very quickly catch sight of...

    Resolved Whitelist from Apple spam filters

    Is there any way to do this? I have tried adding a rule that moves any email from a domain into the inbox, and I have the spam filter set to not set to junk any email that is also in my contacts, and it STILL sends every single email from a particular contact to junk. This is extremely...

    Mail Spam filter is not cutting it.

    I've tried to decode the various Mail Header X codes and values to filter out the garbage that I do not want to see. I've used Mail for 20 years or more, and the Spammers are wasting my time, space on my Mac, etc. Is there any reasonable method to filtering out all the crap? I currently have my...

    I use IMAP Google for Mail 10.2. since updating to sierra, Junk mail now appears in an orange/yellow preview color in the sidebar. In El Cap, they appeared in sidebar in black, same as inbox. Want to change to black as orange too difficult to read easily, annoying. Can’t find option to change...

    MAIL: Best Spam filter settings

    Ok, I am sure this has been posted numerous times. But I can not find a setting/ combo that I need. I know you can create rules. I would like the following rule: If junk> mark message as read If marked as read> move to trash. Will this work? Because the way I have it set up now it only...

    Apple Mail empty trash

    When I trash or junk delete a mail-message, it keeps showing in my list of arrived mails - until I close and reopened the mail application. I appreciate that some people may need the trash folder as a hold folder but I don't! When I delete a message I don't want it to show up ANYWHERE in Mail ...

    Automatically remove junk mail

    It's really annoying when a daily pile of junk mail appears in the junk inbox forcing me to repeat the same process of: open the junk mail inbox, select every message, move them to the trash, empty the trash, several times every single day. I'm tired of it. I want Apple Mail to delete the junk...
