Joined Jan 29, Messages 1, I normally use Outlook Express though and I was wondering if there is any way to block the bulk folder from downloading onto my computer. I only want the contents of the inbox. I looked on the yahoo site and couldn't find anything and there is no point calling my ISP, they're mostly idiots there anyway.
If anyone knows that would be great. Joined Oct 19, Messages 2, I don't know of a way for there not to be a bulk mail folder there, but I'll look around.
Joined Jan 22, Messages If you don't want to use a Bulk folder, you can turn off this service by doing the following: 1. Click the "Mail Options" link and choose "General Preferences. This thread was archived. Please ask a new question if you need help.
I keep missing emails because Thunderbird has put them in the bulk or junk folders which I don't always check. How can I make Thunderbird put all incoming messages in the Inbox and leave me to decide what to do with them? Thank you. It might be obvious really but it hadn't occurred to me that Thunderbird's address list and Yahoo's are not the same. My bulk folder collects a large number of emails but only those from a very small number of senders are of importance to me.
I've added their email addresses to the yahoo list so hopefully this will stop those from being junked. Thank you for your help. You can turn off junk mail controls as far as Thunderbird is concerned. It's debatable whether this is a good idea or not. However, spam filtering also happens on the server, before Thunderbird can process incoming messages. So I don't think you have a choice, you'll have to check your junk folder on a regular basis.
Thank you for your reply. Very helpful. I have also read the article in the link you provided, although much of it was beyond me. Neither can be considered good at what they do as both of them filter out some messages from any given source whilst letting other messages from the same sources pass through to the inbox. Thank you again. However, if the provider's server uses "Bulk", you can tell Thunderbird to use "Bulk" as well for this account in Account Settings - Junk Settings. When doing this, the original Thunderbird "Junk" Folder for the account can be deleted.
That's about 15 minutes. I've been into Systems plus but the difference between Systems plus and an Apple Store is like night and day.
Took lessons and stuff. Apple stores are dedicated to making you happy. Systems plus is mostly after your money. But it's better than nothing. We ought to get together. You should call me. We could learn a lot from each other. Sounds like we have the same mail problem. I write a lot of email to the other two members of a musical group I'm in a trio. We transfer Sibelius music files back and forth. My teacher who is one of the three also teaches over the internet ocassionally.
All three of us are Mac users. Can I call you? Or could you call me? My last name is Pinneo and my phone number is listed under my wife, Pam. She set up the phone with the phone company when we moved here 3 years ago. Feb 20, AM. Hi Charley7, The following is an answer given to another on the forum asking how to delete Bulk Mail folder:. Hope these are the right menu names because I use a german OSX. I haven't tried it since it appears that it merely moves the offensive crap to another folder within mail.
For now I'm side-stepping the problem by hiding the Bulk Mail folder and every few days deleting the Bulk Mail contents which then requires deleting the contents from the trash folder. I'm not trying it since I have a few experiences of having to have SystemsPlus make a house call to undo something bad I did! I know SystemsPlus does not compare to an Apple Store in providing service to Mac folks, but they're a reputable business that I've patronized for nearly 13 years.
I bought 4 computers, 2 printers and a lot accessories from the same salesman, Bob, over those years. I also used their service department multiple times and always have been satisfied with the results. I don't think the local Best Buy would provide the same experience!
Feb 20, PM. Hi, Macmonter. Thank you very much for working on this complicated problem. A genius at the Apple Store will fix it for nothing. Plus I get to look at all the latest Macs, iPods, iPads, and other fancy stuff. Plus I'll probably understand the Mail program better. Let them do it.
It's too hard for me. And Yahoo. Yahoo is the culprit. The problem is in Mail Preferences. POP account. And what is the result of changing any of those mail servers? And what does SMTP mean? Why is there only one Incoming Mail Server which is pop. I think if I got rid of the pop mail server, I would be rid of Yahoo and their junk mail which they ephamistically call Bulk Mail.
It's really junk mail. I'll let you know what I find out. Thanks again. Feb 21, AM. I still appreciate your experiemnt. I am pretty new to this community thing, but i did a lot of experiments with Mail application and hence i m writing this post specifically which might be helpful to others. It's my central ID now and i cant change it any more. Going online and checking yahoo mail is sometimes very resource taking hence i decided to use mail client like Mail. Let me tell you that i personally tried all other mail apps including thunderbird but noticed one very imp thing that when u use Mail.
This will not happen if u use thunderbird or any other mail client. Also you get to use free Cloud with auto sync. Basically when you use multiple devices, filters and folders and want all those things in Sync. Google for more comparison, but let me tell you IMAP is really good. Now the problem is, Yahoo has powerful spam engine but it calls it 'Bulk Mail'. Apple also has powerful Spam Engine but they call it 'Junk'.
