![]() I don’t believe the criminal syndicates sending me phishing scams suddenly discovered my mailbox (which I very rarely use for much) when the barrage of spam started, and I absolutely don’t think they stopped sending them last week. And then, about a week ago, most of them stopped arriving. Most got filtered to the Spam folder, but some made its way to my inbox. I don’t think this is unique to Apple, either.įor several months, one of my e-mail addresses (hosted by Yahoo) was receiving dozens of spam messages per day. That would absolve Apple from responsibility for messages being deleted without me reading them, which some have said is forbidden. I’d be happy if there was a setting or rule available on iCloud to keep the Junk folder emptied, or even to empty it at an interval, but there is neither. That one is only emptied by opening it, selecting all and deleting. The command opt-cmd-J mentioned above only empties the junk folder on your mac, not that in iCloud. I have also tried adding the iCloud Junk mailbox to the Favorites (on the grounds that I thought this list of mailboxes were all ‘On My Mac’) and writing a rule to keep it emptied, but no luck. In Preferences/Accounts/iCloud/Mailbox Behaviours, it is possible to set All Junk as the junk mailbox for iCloud, but this is ignored. It wouldn’t help people with very slow internet connections, but it would help the rest of us if we could set the ‘All Junk’ folder as the junk folder for the iCloud account. That suggests someone has figured out how to bypass Apple deleting them unseen by me as used to happen. Not much variety in them, same half dozen titles over and over again. Same issue here: over the last month or so about 100 junk mails a day in my iCloud junk mail box. I’ve gone from several hundred a day to well less than 100. ![]() However, I do agree the spammy Junk emails have greatly lessened in the last few weeks. It can be sorted into Junk, but nothing done to it automatically afterward. ![]() It seems like whoever made the Rules decisions wanted to ensure Junk mail couldn’t be well controlled. That would help with some of the aggravation. ![]() If they would allow Rules to work in a mailbox other than only the Inbox in the Apple Mail application, that would at least allow deletion of Junk emails automatically, albeit after they’ve already been downloaded. If Apple would make the same Rules available on the website they make available in the application, then we’d have something. There is no “Delete Message” action available. (And for those with glacially slow internet, that’s a real issue.)Īlso, unlike the choices available in Apple Mail (app) there is no selector available “Message Is Junk Mail” in iCloud’s rules. ![]() But that will still download the emails to your computer in the process. The closest you can choose is one action that moves the email to the trash and marks it as read. You can only choose actions available in the rules pop-up menu, and nothing allows deletion prior to downloading. Also,I wonder if the iCloud filtering rule function can be utilised to delete unwanted emails before they are downloaded (they would need constant editing to keep up with new spam). ![]()
