Re: Rules Mac Mail

[Jennifer Lefroy]

Thank you Ronni, I have been in Rottnest, hence the delay in replying, but
I will go carefully through the procedure you have detailed to make sure
all is covered. I am not sure if that will obviate my question about the
request for a description.  (I notice I didn't check that original email
and typed in a mysterious "toad Ewell)

I note too that spam appears in mail on my  iPad or phone which does not
come onto my Mac desktop even as junk.

Best wishes,
Jennifer

Re: Rules Mac Mail

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Jennifer,

For spam that does make it as far as your Mac, Mail’s built-in junk mail filter 
is your next line of defence. 
But you have to turn it on and set it correctly for it to be of any use.

Did you originally set up Junk Mail in Mail?  Mail > Preferences - Junk Mail?
If not Follow these steps:

• Go Mail > Preferences > Junk Mail.

• Make sure “Enable junk mail filtering” is checked.

• Under “When junk mail arrives,” select “Move it to the Junk mailbox.”

• Make sure these checkboxes are checked:

• ‣  “Sender of message is in my Contacts”

• ‣  “Sender of message is in my Previous Recipients”

These will help prevent Mail from misidentifying legitimate messages as spam.

5. Uncheck “Message is addressed using my full name.”


You will then need to Train Your Junk Mail Filter

Mail’s Junk Mail filter gets smarter and more accurate as you use it— but only 
if you tell it the truth! That means always correcting it when it makes a 
mistake. 
If Mail fails to move a spam message to Junk, select it and click the Junk  
button on the toolbar. 

In addition, scan your Junk mailbox every few days or so to make sure Mail 
hasn’t mistakenly marked a good message as spam. If you find a legitimate 
message, select it, click the Not Junk  button on the toolbar or click the Move 
to Inbox button at the top of the message; either way, Mail both marks the 
message as Not Junk and returns it to your Inbox. (If you don’t see the Junk  
or Not Junk  button, that’s because they’re the same button—the name changes 
depending on whether Mail thinks the selected message is spam or not.)

Kind regards,

Ronni

Thank you Ronni, but I use gmail only for WAMUG.  I use Mac Mail for my
other two accounts for which I need the rules I think.

Kind regards,
Jennifer

Re: Rules Mac Mail

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Jennifer,

You are using Gmail so you shouldn’t have to wait until your email arrives in 
Mail to filter out spam. 
Gmail spam filtering happens server-side ‘behind the scenes’. 
If you find a message in your Junk mailbox that Gmail has incorrectly marked as 
spam, you can simply drag it to your Inbox and Gmail will then be less likely 
to filter out a similar message in the future.

You can Mark the email as Spam in Gmail. 1. Select the email -2. Click Report 
spam
Note: When you click Report spam or manually move an email into your Spam 
folder, Google will receive a copy of the email and may analyze it to help 
protect users from spam and abuse.

Rules Mac Mail

[Jennifer Lefroy]

Good Evening Everyone,  I have been trying to set yet another rule for
moving incoming spam to junk, but I am being asked to put in a description
at the toad Ewell as the individual condition.  I don't remember doing this
before and have not been able to find on Google what it refers to.  Can
anyone help, please?
