![]() So where do these folders called “Spam” and “Junk” come from and how can I turn them off? With my provider, each account is set so that spam is always moved to the “Is advertising” folder. In fact, however, a folder called Spam or Junk is always created in the respective subfolders of the respective account. When you quit Apple Mail, all spam is deleted. Any spam will end up in the folder “Is advertising” and there in the subfolder of the respective account (see image). By the way, this section of their settings is a little different from how it used to be in your link.Given is Apple Mail with five accounts. I did turn off Fastmail’s spam protection (changed it to custom). I have not attempted any extra rules yet. Does it apply here too? I am confused about whether my spam will be going to this junk mailbox or to the spam mailbox.Īnd am I correct in understanding that the one box on what I presume to be the Fastmail server, will work for all my mail accounts in Apple Mail? I took this from the drone instructions for receiving an error of Spam mailbox already existing on the server. Are the other email addresses how it designates their servers?Īlso, when I created the spam mailbox, it told me one already existed, so I created a junk mailbox and went to mailbox behaviors and designated the Junk mailbox to be “Junk”. The options were the local “on my Mac”, and my other email addresses. I opted to only make one spam mailbox for all accounts, and I chose my Fastmail email address, hoping that this is how it designates its server. I have now attempted to set up option 1 (not drone) with the spam mailbox on the server. And it can optionally rescue good messages that were moved to the Junk mailbox in #2. SpamSieve filters the messages that make it to your Apple Mail inbox. ![]() With iCloud, it’s not configurable.Īpple Mail’s junk filter processes the messages that make it to your Apple Mail inbox. This stage can be adjusted or turned off in FastMail, if you want. The iCloud or FastMail filter moves some messages to the Junk mailbox. With FastMail, we’ve never heard of this being a problem because it only deletes messages sent through machines that are known spam senders. Some users have no issues with it, though. With iCloud, this can be a big problem for some users, as sometimes important good messages get deleted. The iCloud or FastMail server filter deletes some messages up front. In both cases there are potentially 4 layers of filtering happening: Just to be clear, the filtering in question is done by iCloud email not the Apple Mail client? So if I use Fastmail in Apple Mail client, this filtering behind the scenes that I cannot see will not occur? This would ensure (if there’s an easy way to differentiate them) that they all get through, and you would avoid potentially confusing SpamSieve by training it that some messages from the same sender were good and some were spam. You could optionally create a Mail rule above the SpamSieve rule to move the good messages from the “spammy” sender to a different mailbox. This would ensure that all of them get blocked, and it would avoid potentially confusing SpamSieve because you wouldn’t be telling it that the messages that are not really spam are spam. You could optionally create a Mail rule above the SpamSieve rule to delete messages from the sender that you want to block. However, there may be slight negative affects on the filtering due to giving it mixed signals about the “legitimate” sender that won’t let you unsubscribe. SpamSieve will usually end up doing the right thing, even with different types of messages from the same sender. ![]() The simplest is to train the ones you don’t want as spam and the ones you do want as good. ![]() There are different strategies you can take here: Some I get some good emails from, and I presume that is much more difficult to deal with. I know that takes up space on the server, but since I will delete the spam periodically anyway, does this really matter? So regarding your section 3.14 “ SpamSieve and Multiple Macs”, is it better to go with option 1 of running SpamSieve on one Mac and letting it clean for all Macs, or to go with option 2 of the drone setup.Īlso, I am leaning towards having my Spam mailbox on the server rather than locally. They are IMAP accounts (there is one old POP account on the desktop which is just getting junk now, but I don’t sync it to the other devices, and it has no option for IMAP.) My laptop is running most of the time, but about twice a year there are periods of about 10 days each when I don’t have it with me. I use Mail on the laptop, a desktop, iPhone, and iPad. I use Apple Mail client, and have several email accounts. I installed it on my laptop which is my main computer. ![]() I am trying to decide on the best set up for my situation. I am currently using SpamSieve on trial mode. ![]()
